Clear the Rooms and Access Routes

Remove small furniture, rugs, decorations, and personal belongings from the work area. Discuss large pieces and appliances with the team in advance.

Arrange clear access for materials and equipment. Keep pets and children away from active work areas and confirm where removed materials will be placed.

Plan Around the Installation

Ask which rooms will be unavailable and when the new flooring can be walked on or furnished. Timing depends on the selected product and installation method.

Discuss dust protection, transitions between rooms, and any subfloor preparation. Review cleaning and care instructions before putting the rooms back into use.

  • Remove all small furniture, decor items, and valuables from the workspace.
  • Discuss appliance, electrical, and ventilation arrangements with the team before work begins.
  • Roll up area rugs and store them in a dust-free zone.
  • Clear direct pathways from the exterior entrance to the work area.
