Welcome to our blog! Whether you’re a faithful follower or this is your first time, we’re glad you’re here. One of our main focuses here at Mouery’s is flooring education; we believe that when you understand everything that goes into your future flooring purchase you’re able to make an informed decision on what products are best for you and your family. When choosing carpet we encourage you to shop by fiber type (which can all be explained here if you need a refresher), but what you may not realize is the unseen cushion underneath the carpet is equally as important.
