You see carpet stores advertising their carpet remnants, but you don’t know what they are nor why you would want to buy one.

At Paragon Flooring, we’re here to clear up the confusion.

First off, let’s discuss what carpet remnants are not:

• Carpet remnants are not pieces of carpet left over from other jobs. If there is extra carpet from a different installation, it would be the property of the owner, not the flooring store. It would also mean that the flooring store didn’t take accurate measurements because if they did, there wouldn’t be so much carpet left over afterward.
• They are also not lower quality or uglier pieces of carpet that nobody wanted to buy. On the contrary, many remnants are beautiful, high end pieces that can sell for a lot of money.
• Remnants are usually not patterns or colors that have been discontinued by the manufacturer.
• And they are not huge rolls of carpet that we able to purchase at a rock-bottom price and then mark up for you, the consumer.

So what are carpet remnants?

The simple answer is that carpet remnants are the ends of large rolls of carpet that are too small to be used for a big carpet installation.

Carpet is manufactured in rolls. When a flooring company sells or uses up most of the carpet roll, they are often left with smaller pieces that can’t be used for a large job. Those remains of the roll are what we call “remnants.”

Since these are smaller pieces of carpet that take up space in a warehouse, flooring stores want to use them up. Therefore, they offer these pieces to consumers at a very low price point. In fact, at Paragon Flooring, we sell high-end carpet remnants from Shaw, Kane, Masland, and Prestige Mills for over 60% off the retail price.

Carpet remnants are great for area rugs, which we can bind for you, as well as stair runners and single rooms. Another advantage of using remnants is that they are in stock, possibly for same-day installation. You don’t have to wait for the store to get it from the manufacturer.

The only drawback to using remnants is that you may not be able to find the exact color or pattern that you want because stock is limited to the remainders of the rolls. However, if you do find a remnant that you love, it’s a no-brainer. You’ll get a beautiful carpet at a significantly lower price than you would normally pay.
