Stepping into a flooring showroom can be exciting—rows of plush carpets, gleaming hardwood planks, and stylish vinyl samples are all calling your name. But before you get swept away by beautiful displays, it’s worth arriving prepared with the right questions to make sure you choose a floor that works for your space, budget, and lifestyle.
Here are a few questions you need to ask when visiting a flooring showroom:
- Which is the best option for my lifestyle? A bustling household with children and pets will require significantly different flooring than a quiet home office. Don’t forget to ask our team about which materials are most resistant to wear, spills, and scratches in your specific setting.
- How does this flooring last over time? Appearance is essential, but so is durability. Talk with our flooring showroom team about warranties, expected lifespans, and whether the material is prone to fading, staining, or warping.
- What type of maintenance is needed? Some floors require regular sealing or polishing, while others only need sweeping and mopping. Understanding upkeep requirements now can help you avoid frustration later.
- How will it look in my space? Lighting may have a significant impact on how a floor appears in your home. Ask if you may take samples home and examine how they look in natural and artificial light.
- What does the price include? It’s important to understand whether the given cost includes underlayment, removal of old flooring, delivery, and installation.
Having a list of questions ready to go when visiting a flooring showroom is the best way to ensure you get the answers you need to make the best choice for your home.
