If you have recently ordered your new flooring from us, and you have completed your project and have just 2 or 3 boxes of flooring left, we strongly suggest that you keep them. In the event that your flooring product were to be discontinued in the future, it could be impossible for you to obtain more of that product if the event did arise that you needed to make a repair to your new floor. If Outlook Flooring installed your floor, and you have 2 or 3 boxes of flooring left, this is considered normal waste and all return fees are applicable.
Waste Factors
This is the extra amount of flooring ordered in order to cover cutting and fitting waste. The standard recommendation for a waste factor on hard surface is 5%. If there are a lot of smaller spaces in your flooring renovation or unusual cutting angles (i.e. closets, crawl spaces, hallways, kitchen islands), we will bump up your waste factor to about 10%. If you plan on installing on an angle (diagonally), we will increase the waste factor to about 15%. Also, the larger the floor widths the more the waste factor is increased.
When figuring out a waste factor, it's always better to err on the side of caution. Don't go overboard, but running out of flooring just before getting to the very end of your project can be costly, both money-wise and time-wise.
