One of the most popular types of backing for carpets we have at The Carpet Shop is Action backed carpets.
Action back (or hessian) carpet is a durable, stiff synthetic woven backing popular for its long-lasting, heavy-duty nature.
It requires professional installation with underlay and gripper rods to ensure stability and comfort, making it ideal for high-traffic areas, homes, and offices, offering great value over time.
We have a huge range of action backed carpets, suitable for busy living rooms, stairs and hallways and bedrooms where you’re looking for a long-lasting carpet.
Come into our North Shields shop to discover the full range, or check out some of our favourite choices below.
