New look for rug retailer

by Ethos public relations

GH Frith Ltd, the UK’s largest importer of rugs and carpets is changing its trading name to Frith Rugs. This family owned business which was established in 1981 has three retail outlets, in the North West, customers are served by a huge retail outlet in Bodelwyddan, North Wales as well as a major on-line presence.

Director Andrew Frith said: “The new trading name and accompanying logo provides us with more marketing flexibility and brings us bang up to date without losing the Frith name which is synonymous with quality rugs and carpets.

“We have launched a new website to continue to maximize our on-line presence. A significant proportion of our sales come via the Internet and the new site will provide a much bigger ‘shop window’ to display the thousands or rugs we have on offer - as well as include more interactive functions for the customer.”

Users of the new site will be able to drag rugs they like into one of twenty 3D room sets to see how the rug they like would sit in a particular setting. In addition, rugs will appear on the screen as though hung on a ‘retail rug rack’ which will allow the user to flick through the rugs faster.

Despite the harsh economic climate business for Frith Rugs remains buoyant which Andrew says is in part due to the popularity of wood, laminate and slate flooring as well as the company’s commitment to ethical buying principles.

The company has helped establish and support a girl’s school in North East India and Andrew Frith said: “Frith Rugs has major buying power and we regularly visit manufacturing and weaving areas in India and Asia to ensure they conform to our strict ethical policies. Rug provenance is becoming more and more important to our customers.”

Frith Rugs provide the widest selection of imported rugs and carpets in the UK and also offers a bespoke rug service for individuals or organisations who want to design a personal rug.  For more information about Frith Rugs go to www.frithrugs.co.uk or telephone 0845 4 900 600.

What does your rug say about you?

by Ethos public relations

For many people, their home is a reflection of their personality. Whether it's in their choice of wallpaper or their style of window dressing ? everyone likes to put their own stamp on their home and that?s particularly true when it comes to choosing a rug.

If you prefer a floral design you love the great outdoors.? You?d rather be outside than inside and your interior design will always look to bring the outside ? in.

If you?re a hopeless romantic then a shaggy, long-pile rug is one way to create a cosy atmosphere in your home.? You?d love to wrap yourself in one of these rugs ? better still they are ideal for two!

If your rug is dramatic and daring you see yourself as being a bit crazy too.? You?ll do anything to avoid being seen as ?run of the mill? and the bolder the rug design the more you?re telling the world how you like to stand out from the crowd.

Taking care of your Oriental rug

by Ethos public relations

Andrew Frith, from the UK's largest retailer of oriental carpets and rugs G H Frith shares his expert advice on caring for your Oriental rug.

"The Oriental rug is the quintessential classic - and whilst it's at home in any property style, there's no doubt it sits very well in a period property.

"Look at the number of knots per square inch, the complexity of the pattern and the execution of the weave before purchasing what can be an expensive but worthwhile purchase that will not only last a lifetime if property cared for - but can also be passed through the generations.

"Oriental Rugs can be very expensive to restore, and the price of a small repair can cost more than the rug itself!? To avoid repair keep your rug in top condition, rotate it every few months to ensure colour and wear is kept even.? Avoid placing it in areas with too much natural light in areas that have a lot of foot traffic.

"Always buy an underlay to protect it, especially if placed on a hard floor and use the suction only pipes on your vacuum cleaner to prevent damage to the wool pile."

If taken care of properly, an Oriental rug is an excellent investment and family heirloom ? a true masterpiece that will never go out of style.
