What is a carpet remnant — and why does it cost less?

A remnant is the end of a roll. When a big job gets cut from a full roll, the piece that's left — often big enough for a bedroom, office, or set of stairs — is a remnant. It's the exact same name-brand carpet, off the same roll, as the full-price stock around it. It costs less for one reason: there's only the one piece, in the one size it happens to be, and when it's gone we can't order more of it. Remnants are priced by the piece, not by the square foot. Measure your room first, then come see what fits. And yes — our crews can install a remnant just like any other in-stock carpet.

Remnants live on the carpet side of the warehouse. See how a remnant fits into a full install on our carpet installation page, or bring your measurements by the store and we will walk the racks with you.
