carpet buying and installation faqs

The ideal carpet depends on your lifestyle, budget, and the room's intended use. Popular options include: 

Solution Dyed Nylon (From $109 plm) Durable, stain-resistant, and affordable, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. 

Solution Dyed Polyester (From $95 plm) Soft, plush, and budget-friendly, ideal for bedrooms and low-traffic areas.  

Wool (From $199 plm) Naturally stain-resistant, durable, and hypoallergenic, offering a luxurious feel.

Bonus  Tip: Some suppliers offer the same colour options across all carpet types. Consider a polyester blend for bedrooms and nylon carpet for high-traffic areas to achieve your dream flooring look.     

The cost varies depending on factors like carpet type, room size, installation complexity, and labor costs.

As a guide, most carpet retailers can provide a quote based on your measurements or a floor plan. When planning your flooring budget account for the costs to replace the underlay, uplift and disposal fees, obstacles with access (parking or elevators) and any furniture or appliances that need shifting. 

Bonus Tip: Shop around - Get quotes from multiple suppliers and installers to compare prices.  

The duration depends on the room size and complexity of the installation. For a typical bedroom, it might take a few hours, while larger rooms or complex layouts could take a full day or more. As a general guide a 3 bedroom one level home may take two installers a day to complete.

Removing furniture and appliances from the rooms where the carpet will be installed is generally recommended and can help reduce flooring costs. However, when the installation is throughout the entire home, it can be more cost-effective to allow the installers to shift the furniture and appliances when required.

No, you don't need to buy in bulk to get a good price. We buy directly from suppliers in large quantities, allowing us to offer competitive prices on our core range of carpets. You can choose from our in-stock options or select from our sample wall, and we'll provide you with great pricing.

Off-cuts are smaller, oddly shaped pieces of carpet that aren't large enough to cover an entire room. These typically result from cutting carpet to fit specific room dimensions. We often repurpose these off-cuts into useful items like doormats.

Visit our showroom to view our available off cuts.

Bonus Tip: Consider exploring our End-of-Roll specials for smaller projects. These remnants, usually 3-6 meters long, offer luxurious carpet at significantly reduced prices.

To repair your damaged carpet, we can often use a piece from a less visible area, such as a wardrobe. However, please be aware that the wear and fade of the carpet in the wardrobe may differ from the damaged area. If this is not feasible, we’ll use a color-matching technique to blend the repair seamlessly with the existing carpet, though an exact match may not be possible.
