Mastercraft Rugs

Lancashire-based Mastercraft has been importing and distributing European and Oriental rugs for more than 30 years. Started by Michael Dickson when he received a 40ft container of Greek Flotaki rugs in lieu of payment for a wool shipment, the company had an unusual start to life.

Since then the family-run business has grown significantly to become one of the UK’s market leaders. That’s partly due to their insistence on giving their customers excellent service. Their UK based team of staff is always on hand for sales and customer service advice, as well as to make sure your rug is dispatched efficiently.

Mastercraft has seen a significant change in the demand for its floor coverings during its history.

Turtle Mats

In 1994 James Turtle discovered the ultimate doormat and the Turtle Mat Company was born. His background in home cleaning meant that he knew the damage walked in dirt and moisture could cause to homes and carpets, and he believed his doormats would be the solution.

The absorbent cotton doormats were initially sold at country fairs, but the business quickly developed into a mail-order company and started to be stocked by retailers. Sold in 2004 it was relocated to Gloucestershire, allowing for expansion and development of new products and designs.

Turtle Mats keep your home cleaner for longer. They are designed to protect your floors and carpets from the damage caused by mud, dirt and dust. Their super absorbent cotton tufts trap moisture and grab dirt, meaning you don’t have to.

Doormats may be where the company started, but Turtle Mats are useful for much more than placing by the door. They are widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, conservatories, utility rooms, caravans and even boats.

Turtle Mats are very absorbent and can be used outside in dry weather. They are perfect for areas close to the pool or hot tub, and on boats, making areas more comfortable to use, cleaner and safer.

All Turtle Mats are hand made in Great Britain, and have attracted the attention of the Royal Horticultural Society and leading artists due to their combination of design and functionality.

The company offers a wide range of designs to suit all styles of home and colour schemes. Their range of sizes from small to extra large also means their mats should fit wherever you want them to. Combine that with a five-year guarantee, the fact the mats are machine washable and that they can be tumble dried and you know you’re protecting your home in the best way possible.
