Hampstead has a strong palette of 20 on trend plain and heather
shades including a stormy grey (Moody Blue) deep red (Claret) and relaxing green (Lotus Leaf). Durable, resilient and luxurious, Hampstead combines the natural beauty of wool with long lasting looks. As well as being moth resistant, It also comes with a 10-year wear warranty for added peace of mind.

their homes, our wool collections are becoming increasingly popular, allowing customers to add a touch of natural warmth, comfort and luxury to their homes.” said David Cormack, Marketing Director
of the Cormar Carpet Company. “Our new collection looks great,
is tough and hardwearing and complements our existing wool offering to provide retailers with a range of products to suit
all styles and requirements, coupled with the quality and
reliability they receive from Cormar.”


The collection is available in 4 and 5-metre widths to suit all homes and will be delivered via the Cormar nationwide delivery fleet. 


Cormar Carpet Company produces their wool and polypropylene carpet ranges from two production sites in Lancashire.

It also owns its own fleet of over 70 distribution vehicles to ensure a fast delivery service to customers, as well as servicing its retail customers through a team of sales representatives throughout Britain and Ireland.
