Carpet Offcuts Melbourne: 3 Ways To Think Outside the Square, Save Money & Keep the Floor Warm!

If you are like me and you don't want to spend the big bucks to cover floor areas such as garages, sheds, cubby houses or rental properties, then think outside the square and buy carpet offcuts as a cheap alternative. 

Here are three ways to think outside the square when looking for cheap floor coverings so you can save money and keep the floor warm!

1. Carpet Offcuts Make Great Floor Rugs:
It won't be long before winter is on the way and everyone is looking for ways to warm up their home. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new rug for your living room floor why not look for carpet offcuts? You can get offcuts cut to size and edges hemmed for a fraction of the cost of buying a new rug. Often you can use the leftover pieces as small mats for other rooms for little to no extra cost or as a hallway runner. 

2. Carpet Offcuts and Remnants Make Good Floor Coverings:
Many carpet places sell new remnants cheaply because they are wanting to clear stock or have left over carpet from larger rolls. We have had many customers come into McMats and be amazed at how cheap they can get carpet offcuts for and also how excellent the quality of the carpet is (predominantly commercial grade, heavy duty wool). Quite often the remnants are large enough to carpet a whole room. 

3. Carpet Offcuts Are Just As Good as New Carpet:
McMats Recycled Carpets has a stillage out the front of its large factory warehouse with rolls of carpet offcuts from $25 (3.66 wide x approx 2+ metres long). The carpet is commercial carpet, heavy duty wool and is sourced from high rise office blocks in and around Melbourne's CBD. Whilst the offcuts may contain plaster debris, you could pay McMats to clean the carpet for you and organise it to be cut to sized and hemmed or you could just take the roll as is and give it a good vacuum when you get home. The carpet is often end of rolls, may have some colour variation, or very little wrong with it. You are getting an absolute bargain because the company just wants to clear short ends and end of stock. We have had customers successfully carpet caravans, holiday homes, sheds, cubby houses and even dog kennels with our carpet offcuts, which they scored for an absolute bargain!
