DON'T HIRE A FLOOR CONTRACTOR UNTIL YOU CONSIDER THESE IMPORTANT POINTS
Laying a new timber floor can give your room a fantastic face lift, but getting an inferior finish can be a frustrating and expensive problem. That is why it is essential to consider the following points when picking your materials and contractor.
COLOUR CHANGES
Timber flooring changes colour and grading of the timber can vary. It is important to note that what you see in a showroom is not always what you receive. Supplying and laying a timber floor is a specialist area, therefore your visiting consultant should have many years of experience in commercial and residential timber flooring to advise you how the finished product will look and wear.
SQUEAKING FLOORS
Squeaking floors can often be the cause of sub standard glues and fastening materials.
TIMBER FLOORING AND SUBSTRATES
Are the products Australian made? (Not just the flooring)
Timber in Australia is the envy of the world. Our timber is clean and if chosen correctly will conform to the very strict Australian standards.
Most consumers when choosing their floor look at colour only. We need to look beyond this! The quality of material and workmanship will often be the difference between a proud or a disgruntled client.
With all projects it is not the final process that can determine the end result, it is the foundations. With a long term investment in timber flooring it is undoubtedly not worth taking short cuts in your substrate material.
Is my substrate material Australian made? If so, prove it!
Once again Australian products are acclimatized for Australian conditions and although could cost a little more, they are without a doubt, worth it and could determine the quietness of your floor when you walk over it.
FLOOR FINISHES
A floors shine and durability can be assisted by various products. Similar to most items there are high quality floor coatings. How many coatings will be applied to my floor?
PRICING
Don’t get caught out: If the price is to cheap there is usually something wrong.
Ask questions:
Does your flooring company form part of an association?
Show me proof !
Most reputable Flooring companies form part of an association with monthly forums. These forums discuss flooring issues that continuously arise within the industry that can impact on your final product.
LICENCED
Is the person over seeing the job a licensed supervisor?
Is the Company Licensed to carry out the work?
What project experience does the individual recommending the product have? (Not the company, the individual)
