Some Things Are Just Better In Person
One of the things we love about flooring is that it is so tangible. Just like most things that you buy for your home, it’s something that you want to be able to get your hands on and see in-person before deciding to buy it. This is why we always recommend that people come into our Worthing or Storrington showrooms to see our flooring displays ‘in real life’. Here’s some other reasons why it’s a good idea to visit our showroom: Touch the different types of flooring Unlike most products you buy, flooring is something that you will feel every day when you walk on it, sometimes in bare feet. This is especially true for areas of the house where you relax such as your bedroom or the bathroom. So it’s always great to be able to feel the flooring before you make a decision, your sense of touch will enable you to feel the quality and softness of the fibres in our carpets and also the texture in our hard flooring. Flooring that you really like the look of online may have a texture that you don’t like. Our flooring experts can help you find an alternative that may prove better than your original choice. We have thousands of samples you can see and feel before purchasing. See the flooring in person While you can of course see flooring online, it’s worth noting that you shouldn’t believe everything you see. At the end of the day, the flooring photos you see online have been created to sell the flooring. The room the flooring is in will have been meticulously designed; making sure to accentuate its features. In addition, the studio lighting and the editing of the photo can all enhance colour and texture. So of course all the flooring is going to look easy on the eyes. That’s not to say that it won’t look the same in your home, but just be mindful that flooring on your screen may not look the same in person. Make sure the flooring is the right colour Along the same vein as the last point, the colour of the flooring may be different in-person to how it looks on a screen. This can be for a number of reasons; from the editing and lighting of the photo, through to how your screen displays colours. So it’s always a good idea to see the flooring you like the look of in person so make sure that it’s absolutely the colour you like. We often hear comments like, ‘it’s a lot lighter than I thought’ or ‘seeing it now, I don’t know if that would go in the kitchen’ in our showrooms. We can then find shades that do match furnishings and even paint samples. The last thing you want is to have flooring delivered to your house that’s a few shades from what you thought it was.

Why Invest In Quality Flooring?
With the cost of living on the rise, you might be tempted to scrimp and save on your new flooring, but here’s why that’s not a good idea… As flooring experts, we’re always more than happy to answer questions about which flooring is best for them. There are many factors to consider when choosing the best option. In addition, there are different reasons for not compromising on the quality of your flooring. With the cost of living on the rise, people are working with tighter budgets and, if in need of new flooring, may think that the cheapest option will be okay. But this isn’t the case and here are a few reasons why: Durability We’ll start with one of the most obvious ones – durability. Just like most things, investing in a better quality product will generally mean that it will last longer. Which is exactly the case for flooring. A high quality carpet will be more densely packed with stronger or softer fibres depending on the flooring need. Budget vs Higher End Carpet We stock a huge range of carpets at both our Worthing and Storrington showrooms and each has a different price tag. While it can be tempting to choose the cheaper option, a more expensive carpet has a few better features: Better Materials As we’ve touched on when talking about carpets, not compromising on price will mean that the materials your flooring is made of will be better quality. Making your flooring last longer and also look more luxurious. In fact, some materials – like wood – can actually look better over time. With any scuffs adding to their look. One of the highest quality carpet materials is also the original – wool. Not only is it really durable, it’s resistant to dust mite and allergens. Making it a fantastic choice for people who suffer from allergies. So there are more benefits to higher quality materials than just that they look and feel better. More comfort It almost goes without saying, but the better quality your flooring is, the nicer it will feel underfoot. Even hard flooring, like Luxury Vinyl Tiles, can feel soft and warm underfoot when using the right underlay. Furthermore, did you know that choosing flooring that feels pleasant to walk on can actually help with foot and back problems as it promotes feelings of relaxation and comfort as well as good weight distribution. Underlay We’ve spoken about the benefit of good underlay before, but it is certainly something that people overlook and may be inclined to opt for a cheaper alternative. It’s something that can’t be seen under the chosen flooring, but good underlay can make your flooring feel even better. In fact, with the addition of good underlay and even underfloor heating, your hard floor can feel delightful after a long day on your feet. Another thing that having a good underlay can help with is making the flooring last longer. Mainly due to it taking the impact of footprints out of the flooring, decreasing the wear and tear. It’s thought that investing in good underlay can increase the lifespan of your flooring by 30-50%! In most cases, we would actually advise that if you do want to opt for a lower budget flooring, it’s best to invest in a good underlay. To make the flooring go further – both in its lifespan and in the way it feels underfoot.If you are thinking about getting new flooring, our friendly team of flooring experts are more than happy to help.
