Alternative Flooring Anywhere Ca-rPET Boucle Realign in Peckham
by Robert Barney on Jan 06, 2025
In the heart of Peckham, one of London’s most vibrant and ever-evolving neighborhoods, our carpet fitting team recently completed a stunning installation of Alternative Flooring’s Anywhere Ca-rPET Bouclé Realign carpet on a set of stairs and landing. Peckham, known for its edgy charm, creative energy, and pockets of gentrified elegance, provided the perfect backdrop for this transformative home project.
The Setting: Peckham's Unique Character
Peckham is a neighborhood of contrasts — a blend of trendy coffee shops, independent art galleries, and bustling markets. Its streets hum with an eclectic mix of cultures, youthful creativity, and a renewed sense of community. While some corners retain their raw, urban edge, others shine with a polished, contemporary vibe. It was in one such stylish home that our team set to work, braving a particularly wet and chilly London day.
The Challenge: Fitting Sisal Carpet to Stairs
Fitting sisal carpet, renowned for its durability and natural aesthetic, is both an art and a technical skill. Unlike traditional carpets, sisal requires precision and patience. The natural fibers don’t forgive mistakes, and stretching or trimming needs to be spot-on.
Our process began with carefully measuring and cutting each section of the Bouclé Realign carpet to fit the unique angles and curves of the staircase. Each step and riser needed to be perfectly aligned to ensure a seamless finish. We used specialist adhesives and gripper rods designed specifically for sisal, ensuring the carpet remained firmly in place without compromising its elegant woven texture.
The team worked methodically, step by step, securing each tread and riser with meticulous attention to detail. The landing, often the focal point of a staircase, was given extra care to ensure clean edges and a smooth transition from step to floor.
The Result: Warmth Amidst the Rain
Outside, the rain drummed against the windows, and the chill seeped into every corner of the day. But inside, the newly fitted sisal carpet transformed the home into a sanctuary of warmth and style. The Bouclé Realign carpet brought texture and sophistication to the staircase, its natural tones complementing the home’s modern aesthetic.
Sisal carpets have a unique ability to add both visual and tactile warmth to a space, and this project was no exception. The landing, now a cozy nook, invites you to pause and take in the soft light filtering through the hallway.
