Carpet Buying Guide | Avalon Flooring

What to know before you buy Carpet

Are you in the market for new carpet? We understand that shopping for your dream carpet can be overwhelming with the variety of styles, colors, textures and materials. Our Sales specialists are available to guide you through the process and help you understand and be aware of all the details when it comes to picking your new carpet flooring!

Shopping the Showroom- 

It is highly recommended that you visit one of our 17 showrooms near you to see the carpet samples in person. This helps the process of selecting a carpet because you can feel it, see the color in person and a sales specialist can give you in depth knowledge and compare your favorites to help narrow down your choice. You do not need to make an appointment but it is recommended if you are working with a specific salesperson that you do so that they are available for you when you arrive to check out different styles at our carpet store.. 

Cherish Carpet 

Be prepared for your Showroom visit-

Before coming to the showroom you want to be prepared and have an idea of what you’re looking for. Your sales specialist will want to know what rooms you are wanting carpeted and how many sq ft you are needing. Other details like having pets, children, your lifestyle, window placement and the sun shining through are all things your sales assistant might ask about to get a good grasp of what carpet will best suit you and your family. 

Carpet Styles & Types-

Plush

Plush Carpet is a carpet that is very soft to the touch. This carpet is cut into a smooth, even way that gives the carpet its soft feel.

Berber & Loop

Berber is a naturally undyed carpet that's originally made by North African Berber tribes from wool. “Berber Tribe” is where it gets its name from. It is made of multiple small loops that are not cut but rather woven together. 

Cozy Cable Berber Carpet 

Patterned Carpet

Pattern carpet is a combination of berber carpeting and plush carpeting. This gives the carpet different lengths and styles.

Aspire Pattered Carpet  

Family Friendly Carpet

This type of carpet is designed to have the ultimate stain-resistance and 0% moisture absorption which is perfect for homes with families and pets.

What to know about Carpet Install day-

Once you have visited our showroom and picked out the carpet of your dreams, we will have a professional estimator give you a free estimate on your carpet selection and the total sq ft of the install. Then you'll schedule an appointment with your sales specialist for the installation day of your carpet! 

It is highly recommended that you are home during the carpet installation so you can review the correct product and the way the carpet will be laid. 

There are a few things to keep in mind when install day arrives. You'll want to lay a protective floor covering on your other floors where installers will be walking, have all furniture removed from the area and make sure your HVAC is running properly.
