What to expect
Colour in a showroom can look different under your home's light.
A good place to start
Bring measurements and ask for a sample where possible. Discuss wear, cleaning, underlay and whether fitting or delivery is included.
What to compare
- Room suitability
- Sample and measurements
- Cleaning and installation
Make the visit count
Bring measurements, model details or an example of what you need. Ask to compare a few different options. If you are making a special journey, confirm the item is in stock and the service you need is available.
