Carpet remnants are sheets or scraps of carpeting left over from an installation or cut roll. They can also be rolls of carpet that are not big enough to use in a full-on carpet installation.

Unfortunately, some of the best-manufactured carpets tend to sit on shelves because they cannot be utilized. Hence, these carpet rolls become classified as carpet “remnants”.

Remnants can be used anywhere you want some carpeting or extra padding underfoot. Ideally, many homeowners will buy carpet remnants and use them in bedrooms for extra flair. They are perfect on top of hardwood flooring, under a bed, or under furniture in your living room.

Do a lot of hanging out in your finished basement with the kids? Carpet remnants are perfect for some added cushion for kids to play on. You can also use remnants to designate a “play area” where kids might color or paint. A great way to have a barrier between your wall-to-wall basement carpeting and messy activities.

It’s been said that hardwood flooring is required to acclimate prior to installation. This means that it needs to be able to adapt to the environment where it will be installed. This will bring the wood’s moisture in balance with the home’s before being put in.

Allowing hardwood flooring acclimation to take place will bring the wood’s moisture in balance with the home’s before being put in.

But, this theory has been debated about for some time now. Certain vendors suggest it is a must, while others say it doesn’t make a huge difference.

If you install hardwood flooring too dry, it could expand and permanently cup from too much humidity. It needs a little extra breathing room to compensate for the expansions and contractions.

Since Michigan tends to run hot and humid in the summer and cold and dry in the winter, this is important to remember. Therefore, natural wood floors should be allowed to acclimate before they’re installed.

Hardwood floors perform best when the indoor climate has a humidity of 30-50%. Also, ideal temperatures for wood floors is between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit.

This is also true of engineered wood floors, even though they are not solid throughout.

Storage Of Wood Floors For Acclimation

Before your hardwood flooring installation takes place, here are a few acclimation aspects to keep in mind:

In home design, one of the most important aspects to think about is color scheme. With the right colors, you can attract attention, make a bold statement, or set a calming mood. Colors can energize or cool down a room and can be the finishing touches to your home’s design.

Believe it or not, colors can actually affect us mentally and physically. For example, red is more of a bold alerting color while blue is calm and inviting. To get a hold on the idea of color scheme, it is a good idea to consult the color wheel. This is your basic tool for combining colors correctly. The color wheel consists of twelve primary colors, with multiple secondary and tertiary colors beneath them.

Warmer colors reside on the left side of the wheel, while the cooler colors are on the right. The warmer colors are energetic and vivid, so they work well when trying to advance space. The cooler colors are more calming and inviting, so they create a sort of soothing effect.

Color Harmonies

The basic way to create a color harmony consists of six different methods. These methods consist of the following:

 Tints, Shades, and Tones

Tints, Shades, and Tones describe very simple color concepts and are created by making colors lighter or darker. If you take a color and add white to it to make it lighter, this is what you would call a tint. If you add black to a color and make it darker, this is called a shade. If you add grey to color, you get a tone. You will only get these variations by adding them to a pure hue.

For any kind of color combination tips, using the color wheel will definitely help you find the perfect colors for your rooms. We hope that this sheds a little light on the color scheme and wish you the best in future home design projects.

When homeowners begin to think about new carpet, the first thing they look for is always the same.

Who has the best prices on carpet?

Who wouldn’t look at the price first, right? You don’t want to break your bank solely for carpet.

The best carpet price is typically found with independent flooring businesses. When doing research, you will often come across articles or conversation threads that suggest never using big box stores.

Reason being, stores like Home Depot or Lowes often have set prices; what you see is what you pay. It doesn’t give a homeowner much advantage, and hence, you’re not really catching a deal.

See for yourself with questions we’re asked on a daily basis.

      A: All of our products are of great quality, all coming with affordable carpet prices. We have different types for every budget and lifestyle.

       A: Typically, all carpet installations are done within 24-72 hour period. This also depends on the carpet you choose to have installed.

         A: We sure do! Our carpet financing plan is one of the best available. It allows many homeowners to branch out of their “budget comfort zone” because they have some extra leeway. This plan has made many homeowners happy and proud of their new investment.   

         A: Yes! We have many different pet-friendly carpet styles from esteemed manufacturers. The majority of them are spill proof and specifically pet and kid friendly. These select carpets are stain and soil resistant and fall within many budgets.

         A: Every manufacturer we carry provides a warranty. Each warranty is different since it all depends on the carpet type. We also offer our own lifetime installation warranty with every installation we do. 

Even though hardwood flooring can be installed any time of the year, it’s usually best to do so in early Fall.

Fall is the best time because it’s cooler out and there’s less moisture in the air, which can be detrimental to new wood floors.

Fall will get the best performance out of your hardwood flooring, and here’s why.

Hardwood floors need to acclimate to their surrounding climate prior to installation. That’s why natural wood floor planks typically sit at the site for a few days before being installed. This prevents the boards from damaging during and after installation such as:

So, why should you avoid hardwood floor installation during the Summer and Winter months? Summer tends to run hot and humid, while Winter runs cold and dry.

In the Summer, hardwood, being porous, will absorb too much moisture that will cause it to swell. Winters are dry and, hence, cause the boards to shrink. Improper acclimation of hardwood will cause cupping, where boards start to pull apart.

If you want your hardwood floors at peak performance, installing them in the Fall will be your best bet. But don’t that scare you from getting hardwood at any other time. With the right hardwood flooring installers at your side, your floors will perform great at any time.

Having improvements done on your home is always a positive investment. In the long run, these things only add monetary value to your home’s resale. But, home improvements and renovations can be unpredicted and required any time of the year.

We want homeowners to get the floors of their dreams any time they want them! We are very familiar with the many types of hardwoods and know how to prepare the job site for installation. Don’t settle for just anyone to do the job.
