Why should I buy my flooring online?

Life is lived at such an incredible pace these days, that is why we spend our hard earned money on things that make it more convenient. Traditionally, when choosing a floor covering, customers would have to visit a showroom on the high street or look at loose samples at their local carpet shop. However, there can be a few issues with this.                                                                                                         

• Time – Time is very precious to us, we work many hours so we can afford to spend time on the things we like i.e. Family and hobbies. So going out looking for floor coverings can be time consuming and you limit the time you have to do the things you like. Buying online means you don’t have to move from the comfort of your own home.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
• Choice – Like everyone, you want to make sure you have the maximum amount of choice when selecting something that you’d hope to be down for years. High street shops obviously have a limited amount of space to show the amount of flooring that can be available online. Don’t limit yourself on what you can see in a showroom.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
• Price – Probably the most important factor when selecting a floor is affordability. Buying online can save you some serious money on your project. Online stores can have lower profit margins because they may not have the same overhead costs as your high street retail outlet. Experts say that buying your flooring online is estimated 70% cheaper than high street shops. Another reason for this is the competition for flooring online is massive, meaning companies are forever trying to drive the cost down to gain the business.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
• Samples – Seeing flooring in a showroom is great, however it doesn’t always look the same once its in your home. That’s why most online flooring companies offer free samples on alot of their products. This allows you to check the floor colour against all you furnishings and decors, to make sure you’re making the right choice.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
• Transportation – This is quite a big one. Buying from the high street can mean you have to transport the flooring yourself from the shop to you home. This can be an issue because your car may not be big enough for the flooring you have chosen and you make have to look at the possibilities of a van hire or asking a friend or family member for help. This is taken away when you purchase flooring online, as in most cases you will get curbside delivery option. At Northwest Floors you only have to spend £250 pounds and you get this luxury option for absolutely FREE.
