Buying Flooring Online: 7 Things Every Homeowner Should Know Before Ordering

1. Measure Accurately Before You Buy

Before clicking “Add to Cart,” take time to measure your room correctly. Use a tape measure to calculate the length × width of each room, add 10% for cutting waste, and round up to the nearest pack size.

Accurate measurements save you from ordering too little (causing delays) or too much (wasting money). At Euro Flooring, our online calculator can help you estimate the total square metres you’ll need before checkout.
 

2. Choose the Right Flooring for Your Room

Not all floors are made equal. Think about how each room is used:

• Laminate Flooring is ideal for living areas, hallways, and bedrooms.
• Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) suits bathrooms, kitchens, and areas exposed to moisture.
• Engineered Wood gives natural warmth and elegance but needs a dry, stable environment.
• Carpet offers comfort and warmth for bedrooms or lounges.

If you’re unsure, our team can help you match the perfect material to your lifestyle — from family homes with pets to minimalist apartments.
 

3. Always Check the Supplier’s Credibility

Buying flooring online should feel as secure as shopping in-store. Look for:

• A physical address and contact number
• Verified customer reviews
• Clear returns and delivery policies
• Secure payment options (PayPal, Klarna, credit/debit)

Euro Flooring is based in Bedfordshire, serving nationwide customers with full delivery tracking and customer support 7 days a week.
 

4. Understand Delivery & Returns Before Ordering

Flooring delivery isn’t like sending a T-shirt — it’s heavy, large, and must be handled properly. Always check:

• How long delivery takes (ours is typically 3–7 working days)
• Whether the courier offers kerbside delivery or room-of-choice
• If returns are free or require collection fees

At Euro Flooring, we make this clear upfront so there are no surprises.

5. Don’t Forget Underlay & Accessories

Underlay might seem optional, but it’s vital for noise reduction, insulation, and comfort underfoot. The right underlay also extends your flooring’s lifespan — especially with laminate or LVT.

Add skirting boards, door bars, and thresholds to finish the look properly. Our website makes it easy to add these extras when you order your main floor

6. Order Samples First

Photos never tell the full story. The lighting, texture, and feel of a floor can vary in real life. Always order a free sample before committing — it helps you see how the tone looks in your home’s natural light.

Euro Flooring offers free samples delivered within 3–4 working days, so you can touch and compare finishes before you decide.

7. Learn How to Care for Your Floor

Once installed, proper care ensures your floor stays beautiful for years. Use gentle cleaning products, avoid excess water, and protect high-traffic zones with rugs or mats.

We’ll send you easy aftercare tips for every product you buy, so you always know how to maintain it.
