I was glad to receive my new sampling and there are……wait for it……. a whopping THREE new colours available. I get the feeling that creativity is not a big part of life at Condor Carpets, but what they do, they do well I suppose. Good value stuff that sells fast, so who am I to moan?
The new colours are 78 ‘Platinum’ (very dark grey’, 76 ‘Steel’ (silvery grey) and 75 ‘Raffia’ (beigey fleck). The spec has not changed to my knowledge and I believe the pile weight is 26oz.
I do quite like this range and it is a good bet for landlords, those on a budget and quick makeovers. It’s way more durable than the cheap and nasty twists available and it looks way better than Condor’s other budget twist, ‘Wembley’, which does not handle or work anywhere near as well. It’s also 4 & 5 metre wide and stain-resistant.
It now has a major competitor at this price and that is ‘Balmoral Twist’ from Ideal carpets. I will write a short piece on this one in the next few days. For those of you in the trade, you might want to use this as an alternative – same sort of price, a couple of different colours and also 4m/5m widths.
