How secure is online payment?
At The Rug House we are very security conscious and so we use strong SSL encryption on any pages where you enter your personal details. You may pay online or by phone using either your PayPal account, or any of the credit and debit cards shown below. Online credit card and debit card payments are handled by Sagepay and our merchant acquiring bank Ulster Bank. Together they provide a secure internet payment system for both credit and debit card payment. All payment information is securely encrypted using state of the art SSL encryption (see below for details).

What is SSL and how does it protect my privacy?
The SSL protocol in use on this site is the Web standard for encrypting communications between users and SSL (secure sockets layer) e-commerce sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a Web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential.
What is the quality of your rugs like?
The Rug House deals only with reputable manufacturers and importers and so whether you are purchasing one of our budget range rugs or our superior quality rugs you can be assured that they have been made to a high quality standard. As with all goods available for purchase, quality varies with price and so it follows that more expensive rugs will generally be manufactured to a higher quality due to the use of better materials and more dense piles. Please contact us if you would like any further details regarding the quality of a particular rug or rug(s).
Do you have a showroom?
The majority of our rugs are held at our warehouse ready for dispatch. If you would like to view a rug at our warehouse please contact us to make an appointment. Our warehouse address is:
The Rug House
33 Edenard Rd
Cladybeg
Co. Armagh
N. Ireland
BT60 2HG
Has child labour been used in manufacturing your rugs?
NO! We are an ethical retailer. We and our suppliers support all initiatives opposed to child labour across the world and many of our rugs carry the Rugmark, GoodWeave, Kaleen or Care & Fair labels although unfortunately labels don't always get onto every rug that is produced under the guidelines of these organisations.

How accurate are the colours?
We are constantly reviewing and improving pictures to ensure they are as accurate as possible but there are too many variables for us to be able to guarantee that all rugs will be exactly the same colour as depicted on your screen. If in doubt contact us and where possible we will try to describe the colours for you.
How to I care for my rug?
Visit the Rug Care section on our website for detailed information on maintaining and cleaning rugs.
How does your price promise work?
We do our best to ensure that we offer the best prices on all of our rugs. Therefore if you purchase a rug from us and find it cheaper on another retailer's website (including postage costs) within 7 days, let us know and we will refund you the difference!
