Testing your flooring sample

TESTING YOUR FLOORING SAMPLE

Now that your samples have arrived, we recommend  using them to their fullest. 

Here are some things to try with your samples to help you understand how those types of flooring  will look, feel, and perform in your home.

DISCOVER THE LOOK AND FEEL

Experiment With Lighting • Put your flooring  samples near a window in the room you want to  decorate. As the daylight changes, look at your  flooring samples in every light.

Use Your Hands And Feet • Run your fingers over  your flooring samples to see how they feel. Put  them down and try standing on them with bare  feet and in socks.

TEST THE DURABILITY

UV Test • Place your sample on a windowsill for  an extended period of time to see how it reacts  to direct sunlight. Note if the color changes at all.

Create Spills • Drip the beverages your family drinks  the most, like juice, coffee, or red wine on the sample.

Drop Things • Drop your keys on the sample.  Walk across it wearing your favorite pair of boots.
