Some companies may have a limit on the number of samples you can request, while others like Oakley Products offer more flexibility, allowing 3 or more depending on the project size and what they think suit your needs.

Free flooring samples allow you to see and touch the actual material before making a purchase. This helps you evaluate the colour, texture, pattern, and overall appearance of the flooring in your own space. It’s an opportunity to see how the sample interacts with your existing decor and lighting conditions.

Matching with existing elements

If you have existing furniture, walls, or other elements in the room, free flooring samples help you determine if the flooring complements or clashes with those elements. You can compare the sample with your furniture, curtains, paint colours, or any other design elements to ensure a cohesive look.

Testing durability and maintenance

By having a physical sample, you can assess the durability and maintenance requirements of the flooring. You can subject the sample to wear and tear tests, such as scratching or dropping items on it, to see how well it holds up. Additionally, you can test cleaning products or methods on the sample to determine how easy it is to maintain.

Comparing options

If you’re considering multiple flooring options, having free flooring samples allows you to compare them side by side. You can lay the samples next to each other and evaluate their differences in terms of appearance, texture, thickness, and quality. This helps you make an informed decision based on your preferences and needs.

Confidence in purchase

Free flooring samples give you the opportunity to experience the product firsthand, which can increase your confidence in making a purchase. By physically seeing and touching the flooring, you can have a better understanding of what to expect when it comes to the final installation.

Cost savings

By requesting free flooring samples, you can save money that would otherwise be spent on purchasing full-sized products without knowing how they would look or feel in your space. This allows you to make a more informed decision and potentially avoid costly mistakes or regrets.

Overall, free flooring samples provide a valuable opportunity to assess the material, design, and compatibility of flooring options, helping you make an informed decision and ultimately choose the best flooring for your needs and preferences.
