Heckmondwike. 

For every sector you design in 

Different building environments challenge carpets in different ways. 

But whatever the unique requirements of your project, you’ll find a 

Heckmondwike carpet to meet them. 

By understanding the needs of architects and interior designers from one 

sector to the next, we have been able to develop a broad range of products 

to satisfy an equally broad range of demands. 

So whether it’s in education, commercial, retail or the public sector, 

Heckmondwike has the answer.

Sectors 

EDUCATION 

Educational establishments are 

perhaps the ultimate test for 

any floorcovering. 

Our durable fibre bonded carpets are 

ideal for classrooms, corridors, offices 

and common rooms. 

And from the smallest village school 

to the largest metropolitan university, 

their choice of colours and finishes 

help to create the perfect environment 

for learning. 

COMMERCIAL 

Image is everything in the commercial 

sector. But durability and value for 

money aren’t far behind. 

Heckmondwike carpets will help you 

score on all counts, with a choice of 

quality products for office interiors 

that are stylish, attractive and which 

keep their looks through the ups and 

downs of business life. 

CARE ENVIRONMENTS 

Combining durability, stain resistance 

and a wide range of colours, our 

carpets for the care environment have 

all our knowledge of the sector 

designed into them. 

With fully impervious backing, 

excellent anti-chemical properties and 

certification to all relevant residential 

care regulations, they are the practical 

and compliant choice. 

RETAIL 

Constant traffic along with dirt and 

debris from the street all take their 

toll on carpeting in shops and 

department stores. So the 

Heckmondwike range is designed to 

withstand wear and tear even over 

the busiest sales periods. With one 

of the broadest ranges of colours 

and patterns to choose from, you can 

be confident you’ll find the right 

match for any shop fit and interior 

design scheme.

Whether you’re specifying tiles or 

sheet flooring, our instructions for 

installation and cleaning are simple 

and easy to understand. 

Planning & Securing 

Carpet Tiles 

The subfloor should be clean, dry and flat 

and prepared in accordance with BS5325. 

Timber floors should be covered with 

plywood or other appropriate sheet 

materials. A tackifier is applied over the 

complete floor to provide a permanently 

tacky film which prevents “loose lay” carpet 

tiles from moving under normal traffic. 

Very heavy high density traffic such as 

experienced with heavy trolleys and with 

concentrated stiletto heel or caster chair 

traffic around desks, filing cabinets, 

photocopiers etc. can cause considerable 

damage to some carpet tiles. It is not 

possible to overcome such problems by 

the use of adhesive but experience has 

shown that permanently bonding the tiles 

in such areas will help to extend their life. 

PLANNING AND POSITIONING TILES 

The carpet tiles should be allowed to 

acclimatise for at least 24 hours before 

installation, at the temperature and 

humidity conditions likely to be 

encountered during normal service. 

INSTALLATION PLAN 

TILE DIRECTIONS 

Heckmondwike FB tiles should be laid 

rotationally, alternating the direction of the 

tile through 90º. Directional arrows can be 

found on the reverse of each tile. 

Lay out tiles along one wall to leave at 

least half a tile border along both walls. 

Measure the distance AB to give the border 

plus a number of whole tiles. Measure and 

mark out CD on the opposite wall to the 

same distance as AB. Strike a chalk line 

between D and B. This should now be 

parallel to the long wall. 

Lay out tiles along DB or measure to find 

out point E near the centre of DB which 

leaves a border of at least half a tile along 

each side wall. 

Using a T square or by measuring a 3:4:5 

triangle as on the diagram, mark out the 

line FEG so that it is exactly at right angles 

to DB. 

Apply the tackifier to the whole floor area 

and allow to fully dry. 

Place tiles accurately edged to the line 

commencing at the point E. Continue 

placing tiles along each successive row 

ensuring that the first tile is exactly edged 

on line EF. 

Complete this section of the floor. When 

placing the tiles apply firm pressure with 

the palm of the hand and run the thumb 

around the edges ensuring complete 

contact with the adhesive and the exclusion 

of all air. Cover the remaining sections in 

the same manner. 

FIXING THE PERIMETER TILES 

Position the tile to be cut, in its correct 

design direction and place it exactly over 

the last tile in its row. Position another tile 

butted against the wall and over the tile 

to be cut. Mark where the back edge of the 

top tile crosses the tile. Remove the tiles 

and cut cleanly through the perimeter tile 

with a sharp knife. The section furthest 

away from the wall should now slide 

forward and fit exactly into the border. 

To fit around door posts, architraves etc., 

the same method can be used. Alternatively 

an accurate template can be made of stiff 

cardboard and the shape transferred to the 

tile for cutting. With the template in position 

on the floor, apply several pieces of double 

sided adhesive tape to its top surface. 

Place the perimeter tile in position and lower 

it on to the double sided tape to accurately 

locate the template on the underside of the 

tile. This can then be removed and cut into 

the shape of the template. When the floor 

has been completed, roll in both directions 

with a 68kg flooring roller.

Heckmondwike Planning & Securing 

Fibre Bonded Carpets 

Technical Support 

In all cases the carpet should be rolled out flat in a 

minimum room temperature of 18ºC for 24 hours to allow 

acclimatisation. The method follows the stages for bonding 

the carpet before making the seams and trimming the edges. 

The subfloor should be clean, dry and flat and prepared in 

accordance with BS5325. Timber floor should be covered 

with plywood or other appropriate sheet materials. 

Replace the carpet carefully and accurately 

back into position and roll with a 68kg 

flooring roller to ensure overall contact 

with the adhesive. Repeat for the other 

end of the sheet. Successive lengths may 

be installed in this way. 

6 

1 

1. Wherever possible lay the carpet down the 

length of the room to minimise the number 

of joints. Avoid joints in doorways and high 

density traffic areas. Measure the length of 

the room, and cut the first piece from the roll 

allowing an additional 75mm for trimming. 

Ensure an allowance is made for doorways, 

alcoves and any irregularities of the walls. 

Starting at the corner furthest from the door, 

lay the first piece into position lapping up the 

walls at both ends for sufficient trimming. 

2 

3. Fold the sheet half way back taking care 

not to disturb the positioning of the flooring. 

Apply the recommended adhesive onto the 

subfloor, from the wall to within 20cm of the 

guide line. Replace the carpet carefully and 

accurately back into position and roll with a 

68kg flooring roller to ensure overall contact 

with the adhesive. Repeat for the other half 

of the sheet. 

4 

4. Measure and cut the second piece from 

the roll. Position the second piece with the 

edge overlapping the first by approximately 

5cm and mark a guide line on the floor with 

a pencil at the next seaming edge. 

5 

6. Using an Araseur or a sharp knife, trim 

the carpet to fit against the perimeter walls. 

7 

7. Position a straight edge along the middle 

of the overlap and cut through both pieces 

of carpet with a sharp knife and remove 

the surplus. Fold back the seam edges and 

apply adhesive onto the subfloor with a 

notched spreader. Re-lay the carpet and roll 

with a 68kg flooring roller to ensure overall 

contact with the adhesive. 

8 

2. Run a pencil along the inner edge of the 

flooring making a guide line on the floor for 

the application of adhesive. 

3 

5. Fold the sheet half way back taking care 

not to disturb the positioning of the flooring. 

Apply the recommended adhesive onto the 

subfloor using the application techniques 

previously described, from 20cm inside the 

first guide line to 20cm inside the next. 

8. When the floor has been completely 

covered re-roll the area again to maintain 

good adhesive contact.

Tufted Carpets (Impervious Backed) 

In all cases the carpets should be rolled out flat in a minimum 

room temperature of 18ºC for 24 hours to allow acclimatisation. 

The subfloor should be clean, dry and flat and prepared in 

accordance with BS5325. Timber floor should be covered with 

plywood or other appropriate sheet materials. 

9. Squeeze F30 seaming adhesive on the 

primary and woven secondary backing 

along the edge of the first piece, to prevent 

fibre loss. 

10 

1. Wherever possible lay the floorcovering 

down the length of the room to minimise the 

number of joints. Avoid joints in doorways 

and high traffic areas. 

2. Measure the length of the room and cut 

the carpet to suitable lengths allowing 

sufficient for trimming. Ensure allowance is 

made for doorways, alcoves and any 

irregularities in the walls. 

3. Position the first length, the perimeter 

edge lapping up the wall. 

3 

6. Using the trimmed edge of the first 

length as a guide, cut the edge and remove 

the surplus. 

6 

7. Prepare a compression seam joint by 

overlapping the edge of the first piece with 

the second piece by approximately 3mm. 

7 

10. Immediately relay the second piece 

starting at the centre, press the edge into 

the seaming adhesive along the entire 

length. Any fullness of carpet should be 

dissipated away from the seam. 

11. Successive lengths of carpet should 

be installed as previously described. Fold 

back the width of the first and last 

lengths adjacent to the perimeter and 

apply the adhesive to the subfloor as 

described, reposition the carpet and roll. 

12 

4. Trim the carpet down the opposite 

selvedge using the carpet cutter or trimming 

knife to leave a clean straight edge. 

4 

5. Position the second length of carpet, with 

the edge of the first length overlapping the 

second by approximately 50mm. 

5 

8. Fold back both edges by half the width 

of the carpet taking care not to disturb 

the positioning of the carpet. Apply the 

recommended adhesive to the subfloor, then 

re-position the first piece of carpet and roll 

with a 68kg flooring roller to ensure overall 

contact with the adhesive. 

8 

12. Using a sharp knife or Araseur trim 

the carpet to fit against perimeter walls. 

13. When the floor has been completely 

covered re-roll the area again to maintain 

adhesive contact.

Heckmondwike Maintenance 

Technical Support 

To maximise the carpet’s aesthetic 

appeal, performance and life 

expectancy, it is imperative to 

ensure at the specification stage 

that: 

1. Carpets will be protected from other site 

activities during installation and thereafter. 

2. Clients understand this information and 

that they accept responsibility for correct 

carpet care. (Heckmondwike FB will 

provide a copy of the Cleaning and 

Maintenance guide to the end-user’s 

address when requested.) 

3. Carpets are protected from excess 

soiling or moisture in entrance areas, by 

use of an effective entrance area carpet. 

GENERAL CLEANING 

Daily vacuum cleaning with a twin motored 

upright vacuum cleaner, such as a Sebo, 

preferably with an adjustable head, is 

recommended. Please note that 

Heckmondwike’s fibre bonded carpets can be 

vacuumed immediately after installation. It is 

essential to remove all loose soil daily 

because if left to build up, the particles of dirt 

are much harder to remove and are more 

damaging to the fibre structure, thereby 

decreasing the life of the carpet. Attention 

should be given to areas where there is extra 

traffic and in entrances to buildings where 

extra vacuuming is necessary. 

DEEP CLEANING 

The carpet should be periodically deep 

cleaned by hot water extraction using a good 

quality carpet detergent, such as Granwax 

High Performance Carpet Shampoo. Trained 

cleaning staff or a reputable contract cleaner 

should be used, preferably members of the 

National Contract Cleaners Association 

(NCCA). It is important that the carpet is 

deep cleaned at least once a year, depending 

on traffic levels. In certain circumstances, for 

instance excessively stained carpet, Granwax 

High Performance Pretreatment may be 

required, alternatively, the cleaning 

professional may consider a combination of 

rotary brush and extraction equipment to 

give improved results. Rotary brush cleaning 

by itself is not recommended. 

STAIN REMOVAL 

It is essential to deal with spillage 

immediately by blotting with a clean 

absorbent cloth. If any further stain remains 

or has otherwise been allowed to dry, the 

method will vary accordingly. If stains are not 

dealt with immediately, the type of stain may 

not be able to be identified. 

Most stains can be successfully dealt with by 

the use of either a good quality multi 

purpose stain remover, such as Granwax 

Ezee Spot and Stain Remover or a solvent 

based cleaner, such as Prochem Solvall. 

Wherever possible our recommendations 

should be strictly followed. Stains left over a 

period of time become increasingly difficult 

to remove and may require several 

treatments. In all cases after stain removal 

the carpet should be allowed to dry 

completely and then cleaned with a twin 

motored upright vacuum cleaner. Solvent 

cleaning of bitumen backed tiles should 

preferably be avoided. Where this is not 

possible, extra caution should be taken and 

only very light surface cleaning should take 

place. 

Alcoholic Beverages, Coffee, Tea, Chocolate, 

Minerals and Fruit Juices, Baby or Animal 

Stains, Food, Fountain Pen Ink, Paint (Water 

based), Blood (Wet) and Vomit 

Absorb any spills or debris with a dry 

absorbent cloth. Spray sparingly with 

multi-purpose stain remover such as 

Granwax High Performance Spot and Stain 

Remover to avoid over wetting. Leave to 

absorb for up to 2 minutes depending on 

stain intensity. Dab with a dry absorbent 

cloth until no further stain transfers. 

Shoe Polish, Metal Polish, Butter, Cooking 

Oils and other Greases, Cream, Ice-cream 

and Milk, Oil Based Paint, Varnish, Ointment 

& Tar, All Ink (except fountain pen ink) 

Absorb any spills or debris with a dry 

absorbent cloth. Moisten a cloth with a 

solvent based cleaner such as Granwax High 

Performance Solvent Spotter or Prochem’s 

Solvall and dab onto stain. Alternate moist 

and dry cloths until no further stain 

transfers. Cover with thick wad of cloths and 

something heavy and leave for 2 hours. 

Spray sparingly with a general purpose stain 

remover to avoid over wetting. Leave to 

absorb for up to 2 minutes depending on 

stain intensity. Dab with a dry, absorbent 

cloth until no further stain transfers 

Dried Blood 

Make a paste with biological washing 

powder using as little water as possible. 

Moisten stain with warm water and cover 

with the paste. Keep moist for 2 hours. 

Sponge with clean warm water and blot with 

an absorbent cloth. 

Chewing Gum, Candle Wax, Blu-Tack & 

Plasticine 

Scrape off the excess with a blunt edged 

knife and perforate surface using a fork. 

Apply Prochem’s Citrus Gel and leave for 2 

minutes. Remove softened gum with blunt 

knife. Any remaining residue can be wiped 

away with Solvall Spotter applied on a damp 

sponge or towel. For larger areas consider 

the use of Prochem’s Bazooka Gum 

Remover Machine
