Van Dyck Carpets is proud to announce that it has partnered with the South African Rugby Legends Association (SARLA) and that for every square metre of carpeting sold in South Africa, Van Dyck Carpets will make a contribution to SARLA.
The Rugby Legends is a group of ex-Springbok and Provincial rugby players who have formed a charitable trust. The initial purpose of the trust was to raise funds for the development of rugby at grassroots and club rugby level, thus providing a vehicle for the ex-players to put something back into rugby. Today the Legends has grown into a full-blown social awareness charity using sport as the catalyst to bring people together and then evolving their sporting aspirations as well as educating them about health, wealth and social characteristics.

Reach for Recovery – A Breast Cancer Association
VAN DYCK in association with Top Carpets supports a breast cancer association called Reach for Recovery. Reach for Recovery is a free and voluntary support group which aims to supply practical and emotional support to breast cancer patients and their families. This helps in enabling them to make personal decisions and to find the motivation for recovery with the best possible quality of life. This is just one more Non-Profit Organisation that VAN DYCK has taken interest in. To do our bit for the breast cancer patients, a large percentage of all our sales at Top Carpets is donated to Reach for Recovery. This contributes towards sending out more volunteers, printing more leaflets or creating more Recovery bags. So each room you carpet doesn’t just bring comfort to your space but it makes a huge difference in someone’s life.

First and foremost, a carpet is a safe, cost-effective flooring choice for virtually any indoor setting. It doesn’t just ease foot and leg fatigue but also reduces the number of slip and fall injuries. All Van Dyck carpets have a very low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emission rate which means that no irritation or discomfort is expected. In the manufacturing process no formaldehyde content is used and because of their anti-mould growth, rot-proof and anti-microbial treatments, all Van Dyck carpets have no microbial VOCs. Above that, Van Dyck is a proud member of the Green Building Council of South Africa. We also have an Environmental Management System that ensures responsible manufacturing as we focus on the use of recycled materials instead of using virgin material. Van Dyck also has a range of Eco-lay underlays which are made from 100% post-consumer recycled rubber and are fully recyclable. Most of our products are made locally reducing the impact of transportation on the environment and are well known for their superior and lasting performance. The lesser replacements minimise the impact on the environment. All Van Dyck carpets have built-in thermal properties assisting the overall thermal comfort of a home or building with reduced energy efforts. This doesn’t only benefit our environment but also helps keep our health issues at bay. Read More »
