How long will it take for my flooring to arrive?

What can I expect on my day of installation?

Installers will show up in the morning, unless otherwise notified. Our Calgary and Edmonton floor installer’s work hard and if a big job you can expect them to work a bit late. Some installs may take more than one day, your salesperson will let you know.

FAQ for Flooring Products:

Here are a few of the most asked questions about flooring products

Should I steam clean my carpets?

Most manufacture’s recommend a professional steam clean every 12-18 months. Homes with pets or young children may need to steam clean carpets more often.

Is carpet bad for allergies?

No, this is a myth. It is actually better for allergies when vacuuming is done regularly. Carpet traps and holds the dust in until vacuumed, where as hard surface will let the dust circulate.

What should the humidity be at in my house for hardwood maintenance?

We always recommend a humidifier in the home if hardwood is being installed. The standard is around 35% but it will vary with each hardwood product. Your Ashley Fine Floors sales representative will make sure you have the information you need for the best care of your flooring.

Why should I choose vinyl tile over ceramic tile?

The main reasons to choose vinyl tile over ceramic tile are:

  • Vinyl tile is softer to walk on
  • Acrylic grout is used in vinyl tile so it won’t fade or crack
  • It is easier to install and easy to replace a vinyl tile if required
