Vanessa's Make-over

WARM UP AND SOFTEN A SPACE Vanessa Wright of Hout Bay, Cape Town replaced the cold tiled floors in her living room with Belgotex Carpets' Heather Bliss in Chiffon Haze, instantly adding warmth and sensuous luxury. The deep, cut-pile texture softens the room and creates an air of sophistication and indulgence whilst providing comfort underfoot and a safe soft surface		you'd like to sit on – perfect for movies, relaxing or kids homework. She selected a light, creamy colour safe in the knowledge that the carpet's Stainproof Miracle Fibre yarn meant it would not mark or stain permanently and could be washed with equal solutions of household bleach and water.

Martine's Make-over

CLEAN MINIMALISM For the ultimate in clean, uncluttered sophistication, Martine Klotz-Jackson selected the smooth, slick interlocking simplicity of Providence in Ironwood from Belgotex Vinyl's range of luxury vinyl planks. Creating a water-tight, hygienic		floor that warms the room with its natural wooden shades and texture, these luxury vinyl planks also insulate against cold and absorb noise, creating the perfect foundation for simplicity with minimal fuss.

Hilda's Make-over

OLD WORLDE STYLE WITH MODERN CONVENIENCE The aged, whitewashed finish of Belgotex Vinyl’s Providence in Whitewashed Driftwood gave Durbanville ceramicist Hilda van Lil-Koekemoer’s lounge the vintage feel she was after, but with all the modern convenience of a hygienic,		easy-to-clean surface. The vinyl planks fit seamlessly together, creating a smooth, warm floor that boasts all the beautiful characteristics of wood but none of the disadvantages such as water sensitivity, noise or borer.

Sheena's Make-over

STAINPROOF MAJESTY The stainproof, yet sensuously soft durability of Belgotex Carpets' Royal Twist in Queens Mink – made from Stainproof SDX - saved Sheena Streak of Edgemead, Cape Town from the ridicule of friends and family. Adding an air of sophisticated formality to her lounge, Sheena loved that the carpet's SDX yarn was UV-resistant so would not fade or mark		like her old carpet had in the past plus that any marks or stains that could develop from wear and tear at the entrance would simply vanish when cleaned with an equal solution of household bleach and water. And to top it all off, Royal Twist's plush cut-pile luxury is comfortable and insulating to make anyone feel like royalty!
