How much does a new flooring project cost?The cost of a new flooring project can vary based on several factors. First, identify the type of flooring you are purchasing. Based on the selected product, we will determine the overall cost, including delivery and installation. Typically, a full-service flooring replacement project (including delivery and installation) will include four primary price components: 1. The cost of the material itself. 2. The cost of the material that goes below the flooring (carpet/vinyl underlay or plywood). 3. The cost of labor (delivery, installation, and additional services such as furniture moving). 4. The cost of transitions, trim, or other accent pieces. For a precise estimate, please contact us directly or request a free estimate through our website.

What distinguishes Berber carpet from plush carpet?The main difference between Berber and plush carpet lies in their texture. Berber carpet features a distinctive loop pile that remains uncut, often in neutral colors with no patterns or random patterns. It is generally less expensive and long-lasting. Plush carpet, on the other hand, has exposed fibers cut to the same length, offering a soft, inviting, and easy-to-clean surface. Floorama Inc. offers a variety of both Berber and plush carpets to suit your needs.

Floorama Inc. offers a wide selection of rigid core flooring options to suit any space.
-
What is Engineered hardwood flooring?Engineered hardwood flooring is constructed using layers of hardwood and plywood. The top layer is always hardwood, and each layer underneath is set in a different direction. Due to its innovative layer design, the Engineered hardwood flooring is ideal for moist areas as it is more durable and resistant against warping and bowing.
-
Which direction is best to lay hard surface flooring?Floors should always be laid perpendicular to floor joists in a house with a plywood subfloor. Incorrect installation can lead to undesired defects such as floor sagging between joists, and also open gaps between the boards can occur. However, if the surface is made of concrete, then it is recommended to install the floors parallel to the longest wall.
-
Which flooring products are compatible with heated floors?Most of our flooring products, including luxury vinyl, engineered hardwood, and tile, can be installed over heated floors. Always refer to the material specification sheet to ensure compatibility. Note that issues caused by heat may not be covered under the product warranty.
-
Wastage: How much extra product should I order?For hard surface flooring products, we always recommend ordering at least 5% more for wastage. However, depending on the shape of the area where the floor will be installed, the recommended allowance for waste can go as high as 10%.
-
How do I remove scratches from hard surface flooring?Removing scratches from hard surface flooring depends on the product and the depth of the scratch. For minor scratches on urethane finishes, use touch-up pen kits. For deeper scratches, consult a professional for the best solutions. Floorama Inc. offers professional repair services to assist you.
-
Why the carpet quantity estimated is more than I need for the area where I want the carpet installed?The estimate is always calculated based on the carpet roll size. As most carpet rolls come 12' wide, even if your room width is less than 12', a full roll will have to be ordered. We recommend using the waste carpet in other areas if it fits.
