Do you also remember the ease in which you were sat down, made comfortable, offered mint tea (the first one was always delicious, wasn’t it) and regaled with rug after rug? And then found it the most difficult job to leave without buying something? Even then, compelled to haggle for the item and you’re not sure if you made a good deal or not? All this and you only went in for a look! Here at Oriental Rugs of Bath, we have all the fine workmanship, colour and quality you can find in any oriental souk or bazaar. You are invited to just look around, feel the rugs and judge them, one against the other without obligation. Should you wish to see if it looks as good in your home, as it does in our showroom, by all means take it home and check it out. If all is satisfactory, please feel free to buy it.

In new build scenarios, in order to prevent rising damp a physical damp proof course (DPC) is installed, for which Newton now has the BBA certified Newton 809-DPC membrane. However, in remedial situations the best rising damp treatment is an effective, injectable damp proofing cream. Newton 804-DPC is a high strength and BBA certified cream that works by converting an existing mortar course into a new DPC. The new barrier is then complemented by Newton 808-RA, a render additive used internally in order to prevent the passage of residual moisture and hygroscopic salts from the existing masonry to the new internal surfaces. All three of these new products sit alongside the existing options in Newton’s Newtonite Damp Proofing System, which collectively can now be employed to provide a BBA certified solution to any and all forms of damp.
