## Description

Vanguard Emperor in Dolphin is a medium grey twist carpet that works in any room and takes the wear. The 10mm pile feels soft underfoot whilst the polypropylene construction keeps it tough against stains. Best of all, it's bleach cleanable, so spills and marks wash out rather than set in. That's a real advantage in hallways, on stairs or in homes with kids and pets.

The plain weave and neutral colour blend into living rooms, dining spaces, bedrooms and landings alike. Pair it with [Vanguard Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/category/vanguard) underlay for comfort and acoustic benefits, or choose a quality [Carpet](https://flooringking.co.uk/category/carpet) underlay suited to your subfloor.

### Where it works

Dolphins suits bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, hallways, landings and stairs. The stain resistance and bleach-cleanable finish make it particularly practical for high-traffic routes and spaces where accidents happen. It handles underfloor heating without issue, so it works with modern heating systems too.

### Installation and underlay

Gripper fitting is the standard method. Underlay is required and helps with comfort, noise reduction and thermal performance. Underfloor heating is compatible, so you can lay it over a warm floor without worry.

### Looking after it

Vacuum regularly to lift dust and debris. For stains, the bleach-cleanable finish means you can use dilute bleach solution on most marks, which sets it apart from standard carpet. Always test on an inconspicuous corner first. Vanguard Emperor carries a 10-year warranty for domestic use.
