🏡 **Wool, synthetic or underlay — what should you choose for your French home?**

September is a good time to start thinking about flooring, especially before the cooler months arrive.

In Paul’s latest blog, he looks at **Penthouse Carpets** and explains the difference between wool carpets, synthetic carpets and underlay — and where each option works best in a French home.

The blog covers:

✅ Wool carpet for bedrooms, stairs and quieter rooms
✅ Synthetic carpet for practical family spaces and gîtes
✅ Why underlay makes such a difference
✅ How strong French sunlight affects carpet colour
✅ Why the right carpet depends on the room

The best flooring choice is not always one product throughout the whole property.

It is choosing the right flooring for each room.

🌿 **Thinking about new carpet for your French home?**

Late summer is a great time to start planning ahead.

While August may still be hot, it will not be long before bedrooms, stairs and older stone homes start to feel cooler underfoot again.

In Paul’s latest blog, he looks at **Brockway wool carpets** and explains why they can be a smart choice for French homes, gîtes and holiday properties.

The blog covers:

✅ Why wool carpet works well in French homes
✅ The best rooms for Brockway carpet
✅ Why bedrooms, stairs and landings benefit from carpet
✅ How to choose practical colours for strong French sunlight
✅ Why the right underlay and fitting matter
✅ When LVT or vinyl may still be the better option

The key is not using one type of flooring everywhere.

It is choosing the right flooring for each room.

🔥 **Is carpet really too hot for a French summer?**

With temperatures soaring across France, many homeowners assume that carpet will make a room feel even hotter.

But the reality is more balanced.

Carpet does not create heat. In the right rooms, such as bedrooms, staircases and guest rooms, it can still provide comfort, reduce noise and make a home feel more welcoming throughout the year.

This month, Paul looks at **Lano carpets** and explains:

✅ Where carpet works best in a French home
✅ Whether carpet really makes a room hotter
✅ The best choices for bedrooms and guest rooms
✅ When LVT or vinyl may be more practical
✅ How to choose the right colour and texture

The key is not choosing one type of flooring for the whole house. It is choosing the right flooring for each room.

British wool, woven the way it used to be.

Brockway is a long-standing British carpet manufacturer with a focus on wool and heritage styling — the kind of carpet that ages well in older properties, holds up to real life, and feels good underfoot on a cold morning.

It's one of the ranges we suggest most often for bedrooms in restored stone houses, longères, and properties where the rest of the interior has been done thoughtfully. A wool carpet from a brand like Brockway is a long-term decision, not a quick fix — and that's the point.

Samples available. Supply and fit within a 3 hour drive of Pressignac.

Thinking about new carpet or flooring in France?

Most people get this wrong 👇
They choose based on looks…
But in French homes, what really matters is:

• Cold floors (especially stone houses)
• Proper insulation
• The way it’s actually installed

We’ve just put together a simple guide explaining what actually works here in France 🇫🇷

If you’re planning a project - link is in the comments.

If you're thinking of new flooring, Cavalio LVT makes a great alternative to laminate. It's quieter, water resistant and comes in a range of wood or a stone effect and has a built-in underlay to help save on cost. If you're looking for a quote please feel free to get in touch.
