Tips on Selecting Flooring

Choose Your Source Wisely
The first step in shopping for flooring products is to find the right flooring store. A well-established business specializing in flooring is best to insure you’re dealing with a knowledgeable and skilled provider who offers only good quality products. A flooring specialist will have the expertise to steer you towards the best products and value in your price range. Shop at a discount flooring store and you’ll find “discount” products you may have to replace sooner than you’d expect, incurring installation costs in addition to materials.
Do Your Homework
Before you go shopping, take a good look at the space. What is under your current flooring? Is your space naturally well-lit? What kind of traffic does it endure?
Since most flooring is sold by the square foot or yard, it is helpful to have a rough measurement of the area you want to cover. If your room is a not a simple rectangle, draw a diagram of the spaces, labelling the dimensions of each. Include any closets, built-ins, fireplaces and doorways in your drawing.
When you go shopping, you may want to bring along samples of the fabrics (pillows are a good alternative) used in the room.
