Buying the right carpet will ensure that your chosen carpet

look great but also proves to be a wise investment. The wrong choices however can be costly in terms of money and
time wasted.

Carpet buying tips
1) Suitability - Ensure that your carpet supplier understands
how the carpet will be used in terms of location and potential
for wear and tear. Carpeting for your stairs for example may
well need to be different from that used for your bedroom.
Ensure that you discuss how your chosen flooring will cope with
the demands placed upon it with your carpet retailer.
2) Decoration - Your carpet should be a fundamental element of
any interior decorating scheme and as such chose your carpet
before you start decorating and install it after all the
decorating has finished!
3) Style and Design - Carpet offers great versatility in terms
of styling, colors and design. Ensure that you have really
exhausted all options in terms of color, style and design
before finally picking your chosen carpet.

4) Longevity - What are your expectations of how long your
carpet is expected to last? Different carpets will have
differing levels of resilience to wear and tear so ensure that
you have fully explored all of the options if your carpet is to
match your expectations.
5) Budget - Budget is key. Buying a carpet involves additional
costs such as getting it fitted, laying underlay and perhaps
paying for furniture and other items to be moved or stored.
Don't forget to factor all of these elements into your financial
plans.
6) Professionally Measurement - Buying a new carpet is a big
investment and as such having your home or office professionally
measured will ensure that firstly you buy the correct amount of
carpet and secondly that the carpet purchased is suited to the
role that it is being asked to perform. Good carpet retailers
will offer this service for free!
7) Get a Sample - Samples allow you to judge how your carpet
will fit into your home or office and should be viewed in
natural and artificial light at differing times of the day.
Again good carpet retailers will offer samples for free and
ensure that you have the sample to hand when the carpet arrives
and is being fitted to ensure that it is exactly what you have
ordered!
8) Buy New Underlay - New underlay will extend the life of your
carpet by up to 40%. For any size project, fitting new underlay
will return the cost
invested into it, many times over.

Always make use of a professional carpet
fitter - Fitting carpets is a
skilled craft and offers of "free fitting" may well come back to
haunt you. A well fitted carpet should be seamless and tightly
stretched and only professional carpet fitters will achieve the
maximum potential from your carpeting investment.
At the end of the day you get what you pay for, as with most things in life you
really do get what you pay for with regard to carpets. Whilst
cheap carpeting with recycled underlay and a non professional
fitting may save you money initially, the rapid degeneration
that you see with regard to your carpeting will soon ensure that
more time and money is wasted on rectifying earlier mistakes.
Buy wisely, by seeking out professional retailers and
fitters and your new carpet will return the investments that you
have made into it many times over.
