Floors and substrates

Flooring needs to be assessed together with levels, flatness and substrate condition. Material, tile format and laying pattern affect both preparation and installation.

THE WORK IN DETAIL

Porcelain, terracotta or parquet: installation changes too.

The CEP catalogue separates substrate preparation from installation, with work for porcelain, terracotta and herringbone parquet. Start with the room and existing substrate, then consider material, format and pattern.

Materials, surfaces and preparation
01

First, the substrate and levels

State whether the existing floor will remain or be removed, and identify level changes, thresholds and doors. Screed and laying-only packages address different needs. If you need substrate preparation and porcelain laying, compare the combined proposal with separate operations by reading their quantities and inclusions.

02

The material and pattern

Herringbone parquet, terracotta and porcelain have different patterns and junctions. Provide the format, intended pattern and connected rooms; a plan and photographs help explain recesses or columns. The installation area and amount of covering to purchase may differ because cuts and waste depend on the pattern.

03

Supply and finishing details

Check the specification for who supplies the covering and which installation materials are included. Skirting, stairs, thresholds and repairs should not be assumed included unless described. List these elements alongside the area so the proposal can distinguish the main floor from finishing details.

  • Is the substrate ready or does it need forming?
  • Which material, format and pattern do you want?
  • Who will supply the covering?
