2. HOW DO I KNOW WHICH
FLOOR IS BEST FOR MY
NEEDS?
Flooring selection will depend on:
• Your specific environment
• Performance features needed
Beware of “one size fits all” theory.
Flooring consultant should be well
trained to evaluate your specific
needs including cost-effectiveness,
durability, safety standards and
overall performance.
3. DOES THE SUPPLIER
MANUFACTURE AND INSTALL
THEIR OWN PRODUCTS?
Selecting a supplier that formulates,
manufactures and installs will
ensure the system is tailored to
meet your specific needs.
Substrate preparation and
installation are critical to project
success. Installation teams
specifically trained on your flooring
system will help you rest assured
that no corners are cut, or short-
cuts are taken.
4. WILL WHAT I BUY
BE WHAT I GET?
You may be surprised how many
customers don’t get what they pay
for.
Ask the supplier to review coverage
information, amounts used, etc.
If you buy a ¼” floor, make sure you
get a ¼” floor!
If you’re not 100% satisfied that you
have what you paid for, request a
core sample to see the finished
thickness.
5. CAN I GET REFERENCES
FROM RELIABLE SOURCES?
Hearing what others have to say
might make your decision a little
easier.
Ask for references in a facility and
environment similar to yours.
Your flooring supplier should be
happy to provide references from
your industry or any other industry
of interest.
6. IS THERE A WARRANTY AND
WHAT ABOUT SERVICE AFTER
THE SALE?
Request a written warranty, do your
homework and beware of the fine
print.
Your flooring consultant and
installation team should be local
and available should you need
them.
Choosing a company that
formulates, manufactures and
installs will eliminate the “blame
game” should something go wrong.
