Four flooring tips for the best results ever
Chris Jones

Follow these four flooring tips for the best results ever. 

1. Let your flooring acclimatise

Unroll your chosen flooring in the installation area and let it acclimatise to a temperature between 15 -28˚C for at least 24 hours prior to being loose-laid.

2. Check for damage

Before installation, inspect the new flooring in a well-lit area for any defects, damage or differences in shading.

3. Check the pattern

Check the pattern line up and shading to see if any sheets need to be turned or reversed.

4. Install cabinetry first

Install cabinetry prior to laying the floor covering. Also remove the skirting and undercut doorframes before you begin.
