Do flooring installers need to be licensed?

While floor installers don’t always need to be licensed to offer their services in New Zealand, it is recommended you use one that is certified to install floors. Not only will you get better results, but these installers are also more trustworthy and generally more knowledgeable.

Do you install flooring before appliances?

If your appliances are built-in and might damage the floors, it might be better to install the appliances first, along with any cabinetry. Otherwise, install the floor before appliances to ensure you don’t sit with a problem if you need to replace appliances and the appliance size isn’t the same.

How long does it take to get floors installed?

The scope of your project determines the time frame. Standard installations generally take between one and three days in New Zealand. Two personnel can usually complete about 750 to 1,000 square feet per day when installing hardwood floors. However, the timeframe can change depending on the materials and size of the job.

What is floor deflection?

Floor deflection refers to when floors sag or bend due to the load it carries. Deflection occurs naturally, but skilled installers know how to minimise it. There’s an allowable limit of deflection, but if you see tiles crack, your floors rattle or uneven floors, you probably have too much deflection.
