Fitting & Warranty – Your Guide to Lasting Floors

Ensure your beautiful new floor performs perfectly and stays protected with correct fitting and warranty adherence.

Your warranty is valid only when specific installation guidelines and requirements are met.

1. Product-Specific Fitting Instructions

Each flooring product has unique fitting instructions due to differences in installation methods and materials.

Study Instructions: Read and follow the specific guide for your chosen flooring to prevent damage during installation.
Unique Systems: Click-lock, glue-down, expansion gaps, and subfloor preparation all vary by product.
Preventing Damage: Incorrect fitting can lead to buckling, lifting, or damaged edges — and may void your warranty.

2. Essential Add-ons for Warranty Validity

Laminate Flooring: Requires a DPM (Damp Proof Membrane) and suitable underlay.
SPC/Vinyl Flooring: Almost always requires a DPM, especially in moisture-prone areas.
Carpets: Quality underlay is essential for comfort, durability, and pile maintenance.
Engineered Wood/Bamboo: May require a DPM and/or specific underlay depending on subfloor and installation method.
Always Check: Refer to the product's specific installation guide for mandatory accessories.

3. Necessary Accessories

Adhesives/Glues: Specific glues required for glue-down installations.
Profiles & Trims: Essential for neat transitions between flooring types or at doorways.
Skirtings & Quarter Rounds: Cover expansion gaps along walls.
Subfloor Prep: Must be clean, dry, level, and sound — levelling compounds may be needed.

4. How Warranty Claims Work

Warranties are provided by the flooring manufacturer or supplier. We facilitate the process for you.

Claim Process: Contact us with details and photographic evidence.
Manufacturer Involvement: We inform the manufacturer/supplier and provide them with the necessary information for assessment.
Resolution: The manufacturer assesses the claim — may involve an inspection — and coordinates replacement or refund.

Pro Tip: Always download and keep a copy of the specific installation guide for your chosen flooring. It's your best reference for correct fitting and warranty validation!

Measure & Wastage – Your Key to a Perfect Fit

Getting your measurements right is crucial for a smooth, stress-free installation and to ensure you order the correct amount of flooring.

Here are three ways to measure depending on your product – with detailed tips to avoid costly mistakes:

1. Measuring in Square Meters (m²)

For most plank, tile, and carpet tile products: laminate, vinyl planks/tiles, PVC tiles, engineered wood, bamboo flooring, and carpet tiles.

How to Measure: Length × Width = Area in m².
Accuracy: Measure to the nearest 1cm (0.01m).

Wastage to add:

Standard Rooms: Add 10%
Long & Narrow Areas (hallways): Add 15%
Herringbone or Complex Patterns: Add 20%

2. Products Sold by Running Meters

For broadloom carpets, sheet vinyl, artificial grass, and some rubber flooring.

How to Measure: Measure the longest length and widest width required.
Accuracy: Precision is critical — measure to the nearest millimeter.
Measure into Doorways: Always measure into doorways and under built-in fixtures.
Check Product Roll Width: Rolls come in specific widths (e.g. 2m, 3m, 3.66m, 4m, 4.2m).
Calculating Joins: If your room is wider than the roll, calculate total linear meters required factoring in pattern matching.

3. Measuring for Blinds

Essential for Venetian, roller, vertical blinds, and shutters.

Reveal Fit (Inside Mount): Measure inside width at top, middle, and bottom — use the smallest. Same for height.
Face Fit (Outside Mount): Measure the window opening plus desired overlap for full coverage.
Check for Obstructions: Note any handles, latches, tiles, or mouldings that might interfere.

Pro Tip: Double-check all measurements before ordering, measuring each dimension at least twice. Consider sketching a quick diagram of your room with measurements!

Colour Accuracy – See Your Flooring Clearly

We want your new floor to look as beautiful in your home as it does on screen.

Understand these key factors for the most accurate colour representation:

1. Screen Displays & Settings

Your computer monitor, tablet, or phone screen has its own calibration. This means colours can appear slightly different from one device to another.

Resolution & Calibration: Higher quality screens and proper calibration generally show more accurate colours.
Brightness & Contrast: Your personal settings can also influence how colours are perceived.
Colour Profiles: Different devices use different colour profiles (e.g., sRGB, Adobe RGB).

2. Lighting Conditions

The type of light in your room significantly impacts how flooring colour appears.

Natural Light: Differs throughout the day (morning vs. afternoon).
Artificial Light: Warm LED bulbs cast a yellowish tone, cool LEDs cast a blueish tone.
Room Ambience: Even furniture and wall colours can affect the perceived shade.

3. Our Commitment & Your Best Choice

We strive for the highest accuracy, but seeing it in person is always best.

Order a Sample: The most reliable way to check colour and texture.
Visit Showroom (if applicable): Experience the flooring in real-life settings.
Terms & Conditions: Acknowledge that minor variations are possible but aim for accuracy.

Pro Tip: Always order a sample! It's the best way to ensure the colour perfectly matches your home's lighting and decor.
