- It is always advisable to take away carpet samples from our member showrooms so you can be sure the colour you choose will match with your home decor. You will also need to think about the width and pattern of the carpet will fit your room without the need of oddly positioned seams.
- Never rely on your own measurements. Small Cost Carpets are professionals and will measure your carpet free of charge. This is because if anything goes wrong it is their responsibility to sort things out and not yours.
- You generally get what you pay for which is why it is best to buy at the top end of your budget. A heavier weight carpet combined with a high density pile will last longer than a lighter and looser pile.
- The carpet will only perform to its maximum if it is fitted professionally and with a new underlay. Just think how a car performs with worn tyres, a new underlay will extend the life of your carpet up to 40%.
