Q: Can I take flooring samples home?
A: Yes. During your showroom appointment, we encourage you to take samples to your space so you can view them in your own lighting, against furnishings and wall colours.
Q: What factors affect pricing in the quote?
A: Several factors may affect your quote, including:
Flooring material and brand
Area and complexity (cut-ins, stairs, transitions)
Site conditions (subfloor preparation, moisture, leveling)
Need for underlay or additional accessories
Labour and access constraints
Waste / overage allowance

A: We typically aim to provide a quote within 24 hours of visiting the site or receiving required measurements. (You’ll often hear back from us quickly after your enquiry.)
Warranty, Maintenance & Care
Q: Do your flooring products come with warranties?
A: Yes, our flooring solutions are backed by manufacturer warranties (which vary by brand and product). We work with brands that provide quality warranties to protect your investment.
Q: How should I maintain and care for my new flooring?
A: Maintenance depends on the flooring type. For example:
Carpets: vacuum regularly, clean spills immediately, periodic professional steam clean
Timber: use manufacturer-approved wood floor cleaner, avoid excessive dampness, use protective pads under furniture
Vinyl / LVT: sweep/dust, mop with pH-neutral cleaners, avoid abrasive tools
Laminate / Hybrid: follow guidelines around moisture exposure and cleaning agents
We also provide a free downloadable Flooring Maintenance e-Guide via our shop section.
Q: What if my flooring gets scratched, dented or damaged?
A: Minor scratches may be buffed out or repaired depending on the material. For timber, deeper damage may require sanding and refinishing (if the veneer is thick enough). For vinyl/laminate, replacement of individual planks may be possible, but color matching may vary. Always consult with us before attempting DIY repairs.
Lead Times, Delivery & Installation Logistics

A: Lead times vary by product and brand. Many standard items are in stock locally. Specialty or custom orders may take additional time (e.g. several weeks). We will always provide estimated delivery times in your quote.

A: Yes. We handle delivery and logistics, coordinating with your site schedule and ensuring safe transport of materials.

Maintain suitable temperature and humidity on site as per product requirements
Discuss any special requests (e.g. transitions, thresholds, cut-outs) in advance

A: Typically, we require a deposit prior to ordering materials, with final payment upon completion of installation. Specific terms will be outlined in your quote/contract.
