I've been given the task of trying to find a suitable carpet to put down in our communal hall/stairs in my block of flats. It has to be be really hard wearing, with an lifetime of about 12 years i think. Only problem is i ain't got a clue where to start!! i assume i can't buy these types of carpets in my local shop? does anyone know where to buy hard wearing carpets? like office carpets i guess? any help you can give would be appreciated!

you can buy these in local independent shops. Not carpetRight, Alliedcarpets etc
Pop into an independent shop, they supply all the hotels etc and its no problem getting 25 year carpet.

Find out from your local pub/brewery - the carpets they use in bars have to be heavy duty with a lifespan of approx 8 yrs - but that is a lot of people going thru!
Failing that it is a case of going to an industrial carpet supplier.

look for commercial grade carpet. This is very attractive, lower in cost than most plush residential carpets. It will stand up to harsh wear and tear.
The site below has excellent photos of their offerings. Just to give you an idea. Large carpet co carry it. The pricing is very attractive.
Best of luck

sea grass, coir or sysal matting - it looks contemporary and its as hardwearing as it can come.
