About Us

• The cost of carpeting a room can vary greatly and will depend on a number of variable factors. First and foremost you will need to identify if you are purchasing wall-to-wall carpeting that will require professional installation, or merely an area rug which does not require professional installation. Typically a full-service wall-to-wall carpet project (one that includes delivery and installation) will include 4 primary price components:

• The cost of the carpet material itself

• The cost of the cushion that goes below the carpet

• The cost of Labor (delivery, installation and additional services such as furniture moving)

• The cost of transitions, trim or other accent pieces

• Carpet Material Cost

• The cost of the carpet material will vary depending on the brand of carpet you choose, fiber the carpet is made of, the quality of the carpet construction, the color & style of the carpet, and the warranty covering the carpet.

• Carpet Cushion Cost

• The cost of the cushion will vary depending on the thickness and weight of the cushion, the quality of the cushion construction, if the cushion has a moisture barrier, and the warranty covering the cushion.

• Carpet Labor Cost

• The cost of labor for your project will vary depending on the size and scope of your project.

• Delivery often varies depending on distance from the Flooring America/Flooring Canada warehouse and the amount of materials required.

• Installation costs will vary depending on the condition of the sub floor over which the carpet is being installed and the complexity of the installation. The cost of installation may increase if work must be done to prepare the sub-floor to be installed over.

• Other Carpet Costs

• The cost of transitions, trim and other accent pieces will vary depending on which trim products you choose, how many pieces are required, and the complexity of their installation.

Every carpet consists of fibers sewn into a sturdy backing, creating a series of loops that, together, form the carpet’s surface. Some of these loops may be cut at the top. The height, texture, and density of these loops is described using the term “pile.” For example, a “high pile” carpet is a carpet made using long fibers. This tends to create a deeper, more plush, and more irregular or dynamic appearance. Shag carpet is a timeless example of high pile carpeting, which is ideal for contrasting with wood floors or using as a cozy accent in bedrooms and living rooms.

To some extent, “quality” is about your personal style preferences — but there are also objective quality standards you should pay attention to when shopping for a carpet. For example, durability and performance. No longer is the quality identifier just the fiber type as technology and innovation has made yesterday’s fibers from ordinary to extraordinary. You should consider pile height, density, twist, weight, and ply of the fiber. Along with construction of carpet, you should also pay attention to carpet warranties. A good, quality carpet should offer a solid warranty coverage that protects against events such as spills, stains, and wear. A warranty lets you know that the manufacturers are quality-focused, and that the carpet was designed to withstand normal wear-and-tear while retaining most of its fibers. A Sales Professional at Wholesale Floorings can help you find a good quality carpet for your needs.

Both laminate and vinyl flooring are great options if you’re looking for flooring that’s durable and stylish. While they have a lot in common, there are a few key differences you’ll want to consider before deciding on the right flooring material for your home.

Vinyl is a synthetic material that can be used to imitate the look of natural wood, stone or tile floors. Once only available in a glue-down form placed directly on the sub-floor, today’s vinyl variations allow for floating installation — instead of directly attaching to the subfloor beneath it, it uses a click-and-lock installation method that allows it to “float” on top of the subfloor. 

Because it’s made out of 100 percent plastic, vinyl offers superior resistance to moisture, making it an ultra durable and long-lasting flooring material.Because it’s made out of 100 percent plastic, vinyl offers superior resistance to moisture, making it an ultra durable and long-lasting flooring material.

Almost all laminate flooring has a fiberboard core made from recycled wood byproducts, which can soften or swell with moisture exposure. If the core becomes waterlogged, it can even cause the surface layers to peel away. 

Laminate flooring has limited water resistance and isn’t the best choice for areas that tend to get a lot of water like bathrooms, laundry rooms or basements. That said, properly installed laminate flooring can be used in low-moisture areas if you stay on top of cleaning up spills immediately.
