  3. CARPET • Things to think about…. • Where do you want the seam to be located? • What kind of pad do you want? • Do you have transition pieces? • What type of carpet do you want? Example: Loop, nylon, wool, patterned, or blended fibers

  4. CARPET • Carpet comes in a roll of either 12’, 13’-6”, or 15’. Rarely comes in any other sizes. • Pad is the cushion beneath the carpet. It comes in either 6ib ½”, 6ib 7/8”, 8ib ¼”, 8ib 3/8”. Always replace the pad when changing the carpet. • Nap/pile – runs the length of the carpet roll in one direction, not the width. For carpet to have a uniform look, the pile must run the same direction for all carpet that is seamed together. • Seams – when the width of the carpet will not entirely fill the space from side to side, a seam is necessary in order to fill the space.

  5. VINYL • Vinyl comes in either 12’, 6’-6”, or 6’ wide. The more rigid the vinyl material, the narrower the roll will come. • Underlayment – a firm and smooth material that will provide support underneath vinyl flooring. It helps to smooth out any imperfections in the material. • Vinyl most be laid on a cleanand smooth concrete floor. If placed on plywood sub-floor it must have underlayment installed first. Like carpet you will need to know where you want the seam to be placed.

  6. WOOD • Hard wood floors come in many different types of woods, widths, and finishes. • Needs to be sealed for protection against stains. Placing a mat at exterior doors will help protect the wood longer. • Wood flooring can be laid on a straight, diagonally, or herringbone.

  7. TILE • Tile comes in all different sizes and shapes from 1” x 1” to 30” x 30”. Also comes in different types of materials like: concrete, granite, marble, and limestone. • The larger the tile, the more important it is that the floor is rigid since any shifting will cause larger tiles to ‘pop’ and break. • Needs to be sealed for protect. Like wood flooring it can be laid on a straight, diagonally, or herringbone.

  8. AREA RUGS • The ideal area rug size extends 3” beyond furniture pieces. • For dining rooms the rug should extend 2’-6” on all sides. • If you have borders in the rug then you need to make sure the seams are not visible.

  9. Calculating into the cost • Materials – carpet, pad, vinyl, wood, and tile • Transition pieces • Take up • Hail off • Repairs of the floor underneath • Moving furniture • Installation • Shipping • If you are having tile put in there is additional charges • Bullnose pieces • Concrete board • Mastic • Grout • Sealant

  10. Things to keep in mind when purchasing flooring… • With all types of flooring you need to look at transition pieces. This makes the flooring flow into each room; a long with keeping the different types flooring the same height. • Add in additional amount of materials in case of seaming or damaged items. Most companies do this for you but it is always good to ask. • always give enough time for shipping and booking an installer. If you wait until the last minute you will not get it put in on time. • Have two different installers come out and measure. This helps you to know if the installer is measuring correctly.
