Measuring Advice

When doing room measurement with rugs, keep in mind your floor vents so that your rug isn’t blocking your air circulation.

Fire Hazard

With a wood-burning fireplace it’s important to consider that fire sparks can ruin your carpet, vinyl and wood floor coverings. It can also be a fire hazard. Install a well-designed fireplace screen, and use a flame-retardant throw rug in the area near the fireplace.

Pets

Some rugs are not great to have around animals because pet claws and collars can get stuck in them. Ask us about the best flooring to accommodate your pets. Choosing dark palettes or patterns can conceal pet stains.

Dust Mites

For those who are environmentally conscious, consider coconut husk floor coverings, which have an all-natural dust mite repellent in the form of tannins. Coconut husks also take in moisture from the air and release it when the humidity drops, which can equalize the environment in your home.

Rotate!

Rotate your area rug annually to minimize any damage and also to extend its longevity. In areas with a lot of traffic, rotate your rug every six months.
