Superflex Samples

Look beyond colour alone. Check the surface texture, softness, flexibility, how the pile reflects light and how the material sits beside the other finishes in your conversion. If you are deciding between several shades, label the samples and compare them in the areas where the final carpet will actually be fitted. You can also use a sample to practise a small cut or fold on a spare piece of material, although a sample will not fully replicate fitting a large panel. Once you are confident, use the main Superflex collection to select the required width and length.

The current Superflex samples collection lists Smoke, Anthracite, Solid Grey, Wheat, Black, Ocean Blue, Silver and Solid Blue van lining carpet samples. This mirrors the broad colour choice available in the main Superflex collection and gives you the opportunity to compare several shades in the same vehicle. Availability can change, so use the live sample collection when placing your order. If you are undecided between similar neutral shades, comparing them side by side in daylight and under the van's interior lighting is much more reliable than choosing from screen images alone.

A sample helps you choose the colour and material, while the width decision should be based on the dimensions of the panels you need to cover. The main Superflex product pages offer 1.4m and 2.0m widths. Once you are happy with the sample, measure the largest areas in the van and decide which width will minimise joins and unnecessary waste. A 2.0m width may suit broad sections, while 1.4m can be easier to handle on smaller panels. Always check the width options on the exact colour before ordering.

A Superflex sample lets you check the colour, texture and flexibility of the actual lining material before ordering a larger quantity. This is useful because neutral colours can look noticeably different inside a van compared with they do on a phone or computer screen. You can place the sample beside seats, plastics, flooring and cabinetry to see how the tones work together. A sample also helps you judge the soft velour style finish and how easily the material bends around a shaped surface, reducing uncertainty before you commit to enough carpet for the full conversion.

Yes. One of the main reasons to handle a physical sample is to understand how the material flexes compared with a standard household carpet or rigid floor covering. Superflex lining is designed to mould around vehicle shapes such as wheel arches and window areas, and a sample lets you feel that pliability directly. A small sample will not reproduce every challenge of fitting a full panel, but it can help you judge texture, stretch and how the face of the carpet looks when curved around an edge.

Yes. Vehicle interiors combine daylight through windows with shadows, tinted glass and artificial lighting, so a carpet colour can change noticeably during the day. View your sample in the actual van rather than only indoors at home. Compare it in bright daylight, overcast conditions and with the interior lights on. Also place it beside any flooring, seats, furniture boards and plastics that will remain in the finished conversion. This simple check can prevent a shade that looked correct online from feeling too warm, cool, dark or light once installed.

The sample product pages are designed to preview the corresponding van lining carpet. For example, the Wheat sample is described as 100% polypropylene fibre with the same smooth velour texture, lightweight construction and flexible character associated with the full lining material. This means the sample can help you assess the qualities that matter before ordering, including surface feel, colour and pliability. Always match the sample name to the full product you intend to buy so you are comparing the correct shade and material specification.

Individual sample pages provide the most reliable size information. For example, the Wheat Van Lining Carpet Sample is listed as approximately 8 inches by 8 inches. That is large enough to give a useful impression of colour, texture and flexibility without ordering a full metre of material. Sample specifications can be updated, so check the chosen sample page if the exact dimensions matter. For colour matching, place as much of the sample as possible against the actual surface and view it from the normal seating or doorway position.
