1. Get Samples
The most important step to buying flooring online is ordering samples. Samples let you see and feel the flooring in your space, under your lighting, and against your décor.
We recommend ordering a few samples to help narrow down your choices. Consider factors like texture, color, and finish. You may find that a product looks different in person than it did online, which is why trying before buying is so essential.
Pro Tip: Arrange the samples in different areas of your home and observe how they look throughout the day as lighting changes. This will give you a better idea of how the flooring will look over time and in different settings.
2. Research the Details
Every flooring product has unique specifications that influence its performance and appearance. Look for key details like:
Durability: Is it scratch-resistant and waterproof?
Finish: Does it have a matte, glossy, or textured surface?
Thickness: How does it feel underfoot?
Installation Method: Will it be DIY-friendly or require professional help?
Consider how the flooring will be used in your space—high-traffic areas, for example, require durable finishes, while bedrooms may offer more flexibility. Pay attention to specs like wear layer, as this can influence how the floor will hold up over time.
3. Read Reviews and Real-Life Stories
Hearing from other homeowners who’ve installed the same flooring can be incredibly reassuring. Look for photos, testimonials, and stories of real installations to see how the product performs in everyday life.
Our YouTube Channel is full of installation inspiration, resources and honest feedback to help you visualize your floors in action. We also feature multiple customer stories on the blog so you can see how and why others chose their flooring.
4. Measure Your Space
Accurate measurements are essential for ordering the right amount of flooring. Grab a tape measure and calculate the square footage of your space, factoring in a little extra for cuts and waste.
