The process of choosing a new carpet for your home can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the team at Classic Carpets and Beds by your side, we will help you to answer the 7 questions that you should ask before buying a new carpet. Whether you are enquiring about the prices of carpets Belfast, Newtownabbey & Carrickfergus wide or what style of carpet you should be fitting in your home, we have got you covered!

 

Where Is The Carpet Going In Your Home?

It is important that you know exactly where you would like the carpet to be installed within your home as this will determine what type of carpet you need. For example, carpets in hallways and on staircases should be thicker and tougher compared to carpets in bedrooms as these areas have to be able to withstand heavy foot traffic from family members, guests and pets.

 

What Size Is The Room?

Before you decide on what style of carpet to go for, you need to measure the room where the carpet will be fitted. This will give you an idea of how much carpet you need to buy, without running out of material before the carpet fitting is complete. Measuring how much carpet you need will also give you an estimated price on how much the carpet will cost.

What Is Your Maximum Budget?

Before deciding on what carpet you should buy, we recommend working out your maximum budget before browsing. At Classic Carpets and Beds we have a range of materials in our carpet shops Belfast that will suit all types of spending budgets. However, it’s not the only cost of the carpet that you need to consider. There are extra costs on top of this, including underlay, delivery and fitting. If you have an idea of the overall price that you would like to spend on your carpet, you can start searching for the perfect style to suit your home.

 

Will This Carpet Be A Long Term Purchase?

When most homeowners purchase a new carpet, they plan for it to be a part of their home décor for many years to come. High quality carpet is made from extremely durable material and can withstand all types of traffic within your home. It is important that you are happy with the carpet you choose as fitting a carpet is an expensive process and if you are planning on changing the style of your carpet in a few years it is a good idea to think about this factor during your purchase decision.

 

What Is Your Preference In Style?

As part of your carpet research, we recommend taking time to consider your living circumstances and how these can affect the type of carpet you should opt for. For example, do you need a family friendly carpet that is easy to clean or do you have pets and require a carpet that is stain resistant.

Will I Need To Consider A New Underlay?

If you don’t purchase an underlay, carpets can feel uncomfortable to walk on and they won’t have a bounce or spring. Without an underlay it can also affect the way that carpets absorb sound. This is why it is essential that you purchase a new underlay when deciding on a new style of carpet for your home. If your current underlay is in perfect condition and you are worried about your budget you can use this without having to worry about purchasing a new one.

 

Can I Install The Carpet By Myself?

Yes, it is possible to fit a carpet in your home without the help from a professional, but this can result in mistakes being made. After spending your budget on quality carpet, why would you risk damaging the material when you could hire a professional to install the carpet within a couple of hours? We recommend that you consider this when you are making your decision and factor in the cost of this within your budget.
