Marine Carpet Installation Specialists – Established 1991

Borderline is one of the world’s premier carpet suppliers and installers with over 6,000 products to choose from, whether you require a standard stock range or a hand-finished custom-made carpet – we have the solution for you.

With experience of working with the marine sector over many years, we have assisted high-profile boat builders and marine interior designers with vessels ranging from 20 metres to 100 metres plus. We are proud to have developed a reputation as one of the leading carpet installers in the marine industry – with satisfied clients around the world.

Pride in our service

At Borderline we pride ourselves on the service we provide from the initial consultation to the final installation.

Unlike most of our competitors or other suppliers, we do everything in-house and do not subcontract any of our projects.

All of our installers serve a seven-year apprenticeship with us, so when it comes to the final product being installed, we are confident that you will be delighted with the workmanship.

Collections

We supply and install carpets around the world and only work with leading manufacturers. Whether you require a basic plain tufted carpet or a bespoke hand-crafted rug we can procure or commission a product to satisfy your requirements.

We have, over many years, established close relationships with many of the world’s top carpet producers and can produce hand-crafted carpets using wool, cotton, pure silk, bamboo, linen, polished cotton, viscose or innovative fibres, such as NuSilk.TM

 

 

Rugs

We also supply bespoke customised rugs which are suitable for placing on any hard surface or on top of soft floor coverings on board a vessel.

Each rug is made to order using your personal choice of carpet style and border trim. We have a huge range of materials to choose from, ensuring the end result is a unique piece that is totally your own creation.

You can even choose to have your rug trimmed in fabrics such as leather or silk to make them even more striking.

Rugs can be made to any size or shape and we can cut and precision stitch the rug and border to ensure it meets your specific dimensions.

Underlay

At Borderline we insist on using Cloud9 IMO approved underlay to ensure that all installations conform to IMO regulations.

Acoustic high impact sound proof underlays are available in various thicknesses to give the best  performance from noise and vibration.

 

SYLKATM AND NUSILKTM

Borderline is the main supplier worldwide for the SYLKATM brand, which is made with the innovative NuSilkTM fibre system – making it ideal for a wide range of marine applications.

Although delicate and luxurious to touch, the micro-fibre from which NuSilkTM is derived makes SYLKATM extremely durable and hardwearing.

SYLKATM has a good selection of standard ranges to choose from which over the years have been specified by high-profile boat builders and marine interior designers.

Pricing and Surveys

We aim to make obtaining an initial budget for a project as simple and stress-free as possible.

All we need to know is what type of carpet you require or what has been specified and a drawing or .DWG of the vessel showing the areas that require carpet. We can then provide an estimated cost for the carpet, installation, shipping/delivery, and all sundry items.

If the pricing is within your budget, we will then arrange for one of our surveyors to carry out a full on-site survey to give a fixed price – it’s as simple as that!

Once all costs are signed off, we will brief our highly-trained team and prepare the product for delivery to suit the needs of the client.

 

Installation

All of our Carpet Planners and Fitters are employed directly by our company, ensuring we retain total control of their work.

To guarantee standards remain high, all of our installation teams serve at least seven years of training, which is done in-house alongside our own highly knowledgeable team of fitters.

Our installers understand exactly what we expect from them to give our clients a top-quality finish and work efficiently to ensure projects are completed on time and on budget.

With years spent working on marine projects around the world, they understand the industry and the high standards that are expected within luxurious vessels and superyachts.

All of our installations are guaranteed to be of the highest standard. Whether you require a bespoke hand-crafted carpet or one of our other ranges,  the service we offer our clients will be of the same exacting standards. We also provide the same service for crew areas.

What Our Clients Say

Thank you for your professionalism, punctuality and great work! It has been a pleasure to work with Steve, Malcolm and the team. They are very responsive, understand our needs and they respected the deadline, which we very much appreciated. The carpets are a beautiful quality and we couldn’t have wished for a more impeccable work.

Julia De Stefano
Chief Stewardess, M/Y Sibelle

As always, the attention to detail and communication during quotation phases was prompt and transparent enabling us to know exactly at what stage we were at, at any given time. Costs were negotiated with professionalism and confidence leading onto a stress-free installation completed in a realistic time frame. I look forward to working with them again at some point in the future.

Sean Read
Captain, M/Y Silver

Four seasons on and we are delighted with how this carpet has performed. Guests love the feel of the carpet underfoot and crew find it easy to keep clean and maintain. The sales team made it an easy choice (very efficient) their installers were highly skilled and helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sylka carpets and Borderline – great service – great product.

Adam Painter
Captain, S/Y Kokomo

We would like to thank you and your team for the dedication and passion to the product you sell, the way the installation was carried out with noticeable profound knowledge of the product. You helped us every step of the way, from the tough decision of colours and textures, of physical installation and after sale. It is hard to find serious and honest people in the yachting service industry that deliver what was promised and for reasonable price. We appreciate you as the English gentlemen that you are and look forward to working with you in the future. We highly recommend you to any other client.
