TILE INSTALLATION

If your goal is a smooth & satisfying installation, knowing what to expect can go a long way. Here’s a brief checklist of things to do or consider before your Carpet Factory  installers arrive:

• We’ll determine in advance how to handle the removal & disposal of your existing floors. 
• We’ll also determine in advance how your furniture will be moved. You should remove any fragile items, draperies, wall hangings & more as part of this process.
• Know that tile flooring should, in general, run parallel to windows or to the longest wall in a narrow room. We’ll follow this general rule by default barring unusual circumstances, but we’ll always ultimately align with your design preferences.
• We’ll measure your door clearances to determine if your new tile floors will be thicker than your existing floor, and whether this will cause your door bottoms to rub. If so, we may need to have your doors shaved down to allow damage-free clearance.
• If you’re planning to repaint your room or remodel any other aspects of your room, do so before new tile is installed. This will help to prevent drips & other damage to your floors.
