There are so many carpet options available
on the market today. And that’s a good
thing. After all, not everyone wants to
have the same grey or blue carpeting in their homes and businesses that the competition
has. If your business is especially
large, there’s a fair chance that you don’t even want the same carpets running
throughout every floor and corridor, just as you are unlikely to choose the same
floors in every room of your home. And carpets
have evolved to the point where it’s no longer just a question of colour options,
or even texture options. Now, there are features
to be concerned with too.
So, just how does someone (or a department)
choose between all the different carpeting options available? Well, you’ll need to b-creative and use a few
apps to help smooth the process along.
Choosing Carpeting Is Difficult
When you’re in the market for new
carpeting, you know you’ve got some tough decisions to make. It’s not just the shade of blue that you want
either (although you will need to make that call at some point, won’t you?). You’ve got to understand exactly what your needs
are today – and guess at what they could be tomorrow. And that’s tricky, especially in growing businesses. But, if you want your carpet to last for as
long as it should (which is a really long time, by the way), then you’ve got to
be realistic about the whole thing. You
can’t simply take a wild stab at your needs.
To make these decisions even more difficult,
you’ve got to remember that carpet does last an extraordinarily long time if
the right one is chosen the first time around.
That means that a lot has changed since the last time you or your department
had to shop around for the best carpeting for your budget – and your aesthetic needs.
Fortunately, the folks over at Birch
Carpets understand your quandary. And,
they want you to make the right decision for your floors just as much as you
do. So, they have taken the time to develop
a couple of apps to make it easier for you to make those difficult choices. On top of that, they’ve made their apps so
easy to use, yet so very useful that making a decision about which carpeting to
choose is... well, painless.
The Product Selector
On the Birch Carpets homepage, you’ll
easily find the Product Selector. And
this is the very best place to begin. This
quick and easy app will help you to narrow down your choices quickly, before moving
on to the next steps. The Product Selector
features four drop down menus. You can make
one selection from these menus, or all four.
The more you choose, the more specific the carpet products that will be recommended
for you.
The first menu is Colour. Now, this may be a priority for your company,
or it could be the last thing on your mind.
If you’re not sure, you may want to skip this the first time around. (Or, you may just want to see how many
different blue options there are to choose between.) Don’t worry, you’ll have as many chances as
you like to check out the different colour options later if you prefer.
Type of Use is the next dropdown menu that you’ll
encounter. This is one of the most
important factors, so you’ll want to give this one a go if you can. Here, you can select your company’s primary business,
such as health, retail or business. But,
once again, you don’t need to worry if you can’t select this – or if you’re unsure
because your company has crossover functions.
Choose the one that’s closest to begin with; you can always go back.
Then, you’ll find Room Type. This menu will really make a difference to
your selection recommendations. Here you
can be more specific as to whether carpeting is meant for reception areas or
offices. It’s important because this is often
the best indicator of traffic loads that you have for a carpet.
Finally, you’ll get to the last dropdown menu. This is a simple choice between carpets and carpet
tiles. You can also choose matting as an
option though it is typically best to decide on the upper layer first and work
your way down.
Once you’ve selected all your choices, you’ll
be taken to a screen with several choices that could be right for you. But, that’s not the end of the process.
The b-creative App
Seeing a tiny square box on your computer screen
doesn’t ever tell the whole story, does it?
There are plenty of variables you still need to play with, and that does
include choosing the right shade of blue to match your custom walls. That’s why the b-creative app was developed.
The b-creative app is also found the Birch Carpets
home page. Just one click and you’ll be directed
to the image of a room. Here, you’ll see
a menu on the left hand side of the screen.
This will enable you to take a look at a few different types of rooms,
such as an office space or a reception area.
Clicking on a different type of a room will bring up a new image. Then it’s time to select wall colours and carpet
types. It’s best to save the carpet
types for last so that you can play around a bit to find your best match.
Once you’ve selected all your options the screen
will change to reflect your choices, giving you an opportunity to look closer at
your top picks. And, if that weren’t easy
enough, Birch Carpets has included a tab on this page to make it super easy for
you to order samples. After all, you’ll want
to get an idea of how a carpeting feels – and how it looks in the sun through
the windows at your business premises. After
all, that carpeting is going to last you a rather long time; you’ll want to be
sure of your decision when you make it.
