How Does Our Mobile Flooring Showroom® Work in Northern Indiana?

Save Time, Gas, and Money & Choose Floors with Confidence!

Shopping for flooring often starts with rows of samples in a store. But the rooms you’re updating contain information a display can’t provide. Existing finishes, adjoining floors, furniture, and daily activity can all influence which products make sense for the project. Living in Goshen, Elkhart, or Syracuse, IN can also mean a long drive down to Fort Wayne to look at samples just to feel uncertain about what will look best in your home.

Instead of spending your time and energy driving hours out of the way to get samples, return them, and ultimately feel uncertain about your choice, turn to Floor Coverings International of Fort Wayne, IN®. We bring the flooring-shopping experience to you with our Mobile Flooring Showroom®. A Design Associate arrives with flooring samples so you can compare products alongside your existing finishes, discuss product details, and have the project area professionally measured.

Why Choose a Mobile Showroom Model?

The best flooring stores and showrooms in the Bristol, IN region can still be a lengthy drive if you live outside of town. And living in Northern Indiana, farm homes, small villages, and tucked away communities are all very common. Driving into town multiple times, or all the way into Fort Wayne when you’re planning a flooring upgrade is a real hassle.

But with Floor Coverings International of Fort Wayne, IN®, you can avoid all that frustration! With our Mobile Flooring Showroom®, you can:

• Save time instead of driving an hour or more to Fort Wayne
• Save money spent on gas that could be saved for other things
• Explore flooring options with confidence, under your lighting and next to your furniture
• Enjoy a one-on-one, no-pressure shopping experience with a knowledgeable Design Associate

Consider the Room Before Products

In-store floor shopping naturally puts the products first. However, an in-home appointment can begin with a conversation about the room you want to update, its unique needs, and then figuring out what the best options would be before looking at samples and falling in love with something that may not be the most practical fit.

During your in-home consultation, our Design Associate will ask about the way your family uses the space, the flooring challenges you may be facing, like pet nails, constant moisture, or heavy traffic, and what characteristics are most important for your new floor. Then our Design Associate can use that information to guide the conversation toward relevant flooring types and products.

For homeowners accustomed to visiting flooring stores in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the Mobile Flooring Showroom® provides a different way to begin the search. You can begin evaluating products alongside the features and conditions that will influence your final selection.

Compare Real Samples Without Trying to Remember Your Rooms

When you shop for flooring in-home, you can do more than hold up a sample and decide whether you like the color. Try it in several parts of the house, under different lighting, and next to your wall colors.

Put two possibilities side by side. Carry a favorite into the next room to see how it relates to flooring that will remain. Look at a sample from across the room instead of only examining it up close. Return to an earlier favorite after comparing several alternatives.

Those simple comparisons can reveal differences in color, pattern, texture, plank width, or tile scale that may be harder to judge from memory and under harsh fluorescent lights.

Ask Product Questions While the Room Is in Front of You

Appearance is only part of a flooring decision. Performance can vary considerably among individual products, even within the same flooring category.

During your appointment, you can ask our Design Associate anything about the specific floors you're comparing. A household with pets may want to discuss cleaning and maintenance. In an entry or another busy area, it’s important how floors hold up against snow, slush, mud, and salt. Rooms exposed to moisture require careful attention to the specifications of individual products.

Useful questions to ask might include:

• What care does this particular flooring require?
• What should I know about using this product in this room?
• How will the new flooring transition to the surface in the next room?
• What are the important differences between the samples I'm comparing?

For example, water resistance varies among vinyl and laminate products, and engineered hardwood construction can differ considerably from one product to another. No matter what type of questions you have, we’ll be there to answer all your questions with professional insight.

Whether you’re considering carpet, luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, hardwood, or cork floors, we’ve got options to suit any residential or commercial space!

You’ve Got Your Floors. What’s Next?

Once you’ve got a good idea of what flooring you want, the next step is getting accurate measurements of the space where you plan to install the floors and a down-to-the-penny quote.

Because your Design Associate is already in the home, the areas being updated can be professionally measured as part of the consultation. Measurements provide information about the amount of flooring required and other details, such as subfloor work, that need to be accounted for when developing the project quote.

Floor Coverings International of Fort Wayne, IN® uses those measurements along with your flooring selection to prepare a free, down-to-the-penny quote. Instead of trying to estimate the project based only on room dimensions you've taken yourself, you'll have pricing based on the measured space and selected flooring.

What to Expect During Your Flooring Installation

Selecting a product is one part of the flooring installation process. Once you've decided to move forward, attention shifts from comparing samples to preparing for installation.

Not all flooring companies offer installation services, but at Floor Coverings International of Fort Wayne, IN®, our mission is to make the whole process stress-free and exciting from the first step to the finishing touches! You can count on us to:

• Assist with moving furniture out of the way before and back into position after
• Remove and properly dispose of existing flooring materials
• Properly prepare your subfloor for a lasting installation
• Lay and secure planks, tiles, or carpets with close attention to detail
• Reinstall baseboards, add transitions, and thoroughly clean the space
• Come back with our follow-up guarantee to make sure you’re fully satisfied!

Installation requirements vary by flooring and project, so ask your Design Associate for a full breakdown during your consultation for more details.
