- How do I compare materials?
- Start with how the room is used. Filter flooring families in the catalogue, then compare product specifications. Installation and care requirements depend on the product and its manufacturer.
- How do I choose a colour?
- Consider your lighting, furniture and walls. The visualizer lets you explore an atmosphere from a photo of your room. Then check the actual product colour and finish.
- How do I plan quantities?
- Measure in feet, then add 10% for cutting waste. Product calculators include this allowance and round up to full boxes when coverage is known.
