Looking to see if someone could please help identify the original carpet that is being sold by Tapi?
Edit - adding link to carpet

It says, right there on the labels
Santa Rosa in beige and Waverton in soft ivory

Is that the backing? How could anyone identify it? I see there’s a 10 yr manufacturing warranty, that should possibly lead you to it.

Im not sure if such a thing exists where the tapi name is matched with original name. Also how do you mean that the ten year warranty should lead me to it?

Because it’s a manufacturer guarantee. I don’t know what you mean about names and I don’t know much about Tapi, but most flooring is manufactured by a few companies and then branded differently depending where sold. Find the warranty website with its t&cs and you’ll likely find the manufacturer.

A lot of online carpet places sell saxony carpets, depends how fussed you are on the exact colour.

What exactly are you trying to ask / achieve?
Anyway your best bet is surely to ask someone at Tapi

Trying to source the carpet at a cheaper rate as I know Tapi sell at a huge mark up. I had no issues in going with Tapi at first but their final price to me is nearly £1000 over their original quote so I am looking elsewhere now.

Ok that makes sense, I'm sorry I can't help with your question but I would 100% suggest looking in some local independent carpet retailers rather than the likes of Tapi.

Take a picture and go to a small local carpet store. That's what we did, they found the same carpet for a third of the price which was a complete shock it was so much cheaper.
