Please arrange before installation:

- We must have a clean and safe environment. If the area contains any form of harmful or dangerous substances, our workers have the right to refuse to proceed, and we may issue additional charges.
- If the thickness of your new flooring requires cutting/shaving of doors to allow for closing, this will be an additional cost. Please refer to the quote details, or check with your sales member before installation.
- Please remove all personal and valuable items before arrival of the installers, along with furniture items. There will be additional charges to move large pieces of furniture. Our installers may refuse to move furniture items if there is any chance of damage that might result during moving.

- Per BCA requirements, the subfloor should be prepared prior to installation if the condition is not acceptable for installation.
- Floorboards installed on uneven surfaces may cause creaking sounds, bouncing of floating boards, and in some cases damage to the click system.
- Existing timber substrates are more susceptible to volatile levels and movement of the planks. It is required this type of surface be levelled before installation. The end result still cannot be guaranteed 100% flat or level. The condition may require more than one levelling session to achieve a better result.
Carpet:
- Most carpets are 3.66LM wide. Joins will be done if room is wider.
Timber:
- Newly installed boards may need 4-5 months to settle down and minimize the noise. Due to this, some noise can be associated with any floating wood flooring after installation.

Skirting:
- It is the customers responsibility to patch holes and fill gaps between the skirting boards and the wall after they are installed. This is the case for both new skirting installs and re-installation of the existing skirting.
