One top tip is to check if quality materials are included in your quote. ⁠ For example we use a system of liquid DPM and adhesive from the German company STAUF, a manufacturer that sets the standard for wood flooring adhesives. And we use their best products. The Stauf SPU460 adhesive combines excellently the needed flexibility with the strong bond required for a wooden floor that will last decades.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #FinWood#CraftedForLife#10YearsWarranty#ToolsOfTheTrade#StickWithStauf ⁠#Stauf

One top tip is to be sure whether you have a quote or an estimate and double check what is included. ⁠ Estimates are a brief summary of estimated costs which is subject to change whereas a well calculated quotation is a detailed account of what you can actually expect to pay. At first glance one might seem higher than the other but the details matter.⁠ ⁠ #FinWood#CraftedForLife#10YearsWarranty#IHaveThisThingWithFloors #Floors#ContractorsOfInsta #WoodFloors#WoodFloor #WoodFlooring #FlooringIdeas

We cannot emphasise enough the tremendous importance of the sub-floor prep. All the great visible features you may have planned will have no value if the wooden floor bounces, swells because of the moisture and is totally uneven. The sub-floor is for a wooden floor like the foundation for a house. Always check that the sub-floor prep is included and detailed in the quote or estimate. #FinWood#CraftedForLife#10YearsWarranty #RealWoodFloors #WoodFloorInstall #WoodFlooringProject
