Remnants: A Budget-Friendly Flooring Solution
Remnants are the ends of carpet or vinyl sheet rolls that remain after a larger project has been completed. Remants are often referred to as off-cuts or end of roll carpet and vinyl sheets.
These pieces are typically sold at a significant discount, making them a budget-friendly option for smaller areas like bedrooms, hallways, or even smaller rooms. At Factory Carpets & Vinyls our end of roll deals start from as little as $70 per lineal metre for carpet that can retail up to $329 per lineal metre, whilst our vinyl remnants start from as little as $40 and are available in a range of shapes and sizes! Take advantage of these deals as new stock arrives monthly to offer our customers to indulge in high-end products without the hefty price tag.
What to Consider When Buying Remnants
Carpet remnants typically measure 5 linear meters or less and often have a full width of 3.66 meters. To estimate your carpet needs, measure the length and width of your room and bring these dimensions to our showroom. We can then explore potential remnant options and schedule a time to accurately measure your space for a precise quote.
Size and Shape: While they can be a great deal, it's important to consider the size and shape of the piece. Ensure it's large enough to cover your desired area, taking into account any irregular shapes or obstacles.
Quality and Type: Remnants can come from a variety of flooring types, including wool, nylon, polyester and residential and commercial vinyl sheet. Check the quality and type to ensure it suits your needs and complements your existing decor.
Color and Pattern: While remnants can offer unique patterns and colors, it's essential to consider how they will blend with your existing interior design. You may need to get creative with layout and installation to make the most of the available pattern.
Dye Batches: A heads-up when choosing carpet or vinyl remnants! Even if colors look similar, always ask the team if they come from the same dye batch. Slight variations can be noticeable after installation, so double-check to avoid any surprises.

Tips for Installing Remnants:
Professional Installation: While installing remnants can be a DIY project, professional installation can ensure a seamless and long-lasting finish.
Seaming: If you're joining multiple offcuts, ensure the seams are well-hidden and secured. Place away from high traffic areas and window areas if possible. This create a more professional finish.
Underlay: Using a high-quality underlay can enhance the comfort and durability of your carpet remnant.
Note for DYI Enthusiasts - When installing patterned flooring, such as wool loop carpets, vinyl with designs, or planks, DIY projects can become quite challenging. Precisely matching patterns across seams requires a high level of skill and experience. Depending on the pattern's complexity, you may also need to purchase more material than your initial measurements suggest to ensure proper alignment and avoid unsightly mismatches. In such cases, seeking professional installation services might be the most cost-effective and stress-free solution in the long run.
Remnants and End of Roll deals are a great way to achieve a luxury look at a fraction of the price. By carefully considering the size, quality, and style of carpet and vinyl sheet remnants, you can create a beautiful and affordable flooring solution for your home.
