Is it cheaper to carpet a room or laminate floor
There are many factors to consider when deciding between laminate flooring and carpeting. The cost is one important factor, with laminate flooring being more expensive than carpeting. Another factor to consider is the durability of the flooring. Laminate flooring is more durable than carpeting, meaning it will last longer and require less maintenance over time. Carpeting is also more likely to show wear and tear over time. When making a decision between the two types of flooring, consider all factors to make the best decision for your home.

When manufacturers sell carpet rolls, there is always a certain amount left-over. These are called ‘remnants’, ‘roll-ends’, or ‘offcuts’. Remnants can be a great way to get a discount on carpet, but be sure to measure the space before you buy, as remnants are usually sold as-is and cannot be returned.
