What is floor preparation and do I need it?

Floor preparation varies from job to job, ranging from pocketing filling subfloor for floating floors or 3-4mm self leveling screed for a glue down application. Correct floor preparation is vital for the practical and aesthetic performance of your new floor covering. The full extent of preparation is often revealed after existing floor coverings are removed and a comprehensive assessment is made on-site.

How long does a flooring installation take?

Carpet installations under 80sqm and flooring installations under 60sqm usually take one day. Larger installations may require two days or more. Time should also be allocated for floor preparation before applying your chosen floor covering. Times may vary depending on the complexity of your project.

Can I install my floor myself?

While some flooring types are easier to self-install than others, it's essential to follow manufacturers' installation standards for warranty validity. DIY installations can be challenging, so for a stress-free experience and to protect your investment, we offer full installation services.

How long will my order take to arrive?

This depends on several factors:

  1. Stock availability
  2. Your delivery location - rural or remote towns may take longer if multiple freight companies are required
  3. How long it takes our suppliers to dispatch an order

If all of the above factors are optimal and everything runs smoothly, orders generally take between 2 to 5 days.

Can I keep my samples?

Full plank samples can be taken home on loan basis. Samples ordered online through our Sample Box service are yours to keep.

Do I need to move my furniture?

Before our flooring teams arrive to install your new flooring, please ensure that the areas designated for the installation are cleared of all furniture. While our teams can assist in moving larger items, we kindly ask that you relocate all small items and electrical items beforehand, as we are not professional movers.

When should my flooring be installed during my building/renovation timeline?

As flooring is considered a finishing trade, it's essential to complete all other aspects of your build or renovation beforehand. Make sure that paintwork, electrical work, plumbing, and cabinetry are all finished prior to installation. Additionally, for floating floor installations, it's advisable to install skirting boards after the flooring to achieve a seamless finish.

How soon can I book my installation?

Installation timeframes depend on product availability, which can vary. Inform your sales rep of your timeline and they can recommend suitable products. Installation dates also depend on the availability of installation labour, which can vary throughout the year.

Do I need to be home for the installation?

You do not need to be home on the day of installation. Clear access to the installation area is essential. If you prefer to be present, avoid entering the installation area until the installer has finished, ensuring safety for all.

What do I need to do before my installation?

Ensure clear access for our installers and remove all furniture and belongings from rooms receiving new flooring. Electricity and water should be available, and pets should be isolated from the installation areas.

What if there is a delay or I have to change the installation date?

Please inform us of any delays as soon as possible to reschedule your installation. Timely communication can prevent additional charges and ensure a smooth process.

What if I change my mind and want to cancel my purchase and installation?

Contact the Flooring Coza store you purchased from to discuss cancellations. Depending on the circumstances, cancellation fees may apply.

What do I do with leftover flooring from my installation?

We recommend keeping 1-3 extra boxes of flooring as attic stock, just in case any issues arise with the flooring in the future. If there are any unused boxes remaining, we will accept returns for sealed and undamaged boxes that are not discontinued stock.

Why is there a colour variation between the sample and my new floor?

Slight colour variations between samples and bulk production dye lots are natural and within industry standards. Hard flooring, like wood and stone, is designed with natural-looking variations in knots, colours, and grains, and one small piece may not fully reflect all the varying shades.

What happens if there is a problem with the installation?

Contact your sales rep if you have concerns during or after installation. They will liaise with the installation teams to address issues promptly.

How long is your installation guaranteed for?

All Flooring Coza installations come with our workmanship warranty, ensuring professional installation. Each product also has a separate manufacturer’s warranty, available from your sales consultant.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

A deposit is required for all jobs to secure products and labour for your project. 

Does climate and environment effect my floor?

It's important to realize how your flooring interacts with the air around it, as this can affect its performance. Changes in temperature and humidity cause the flooring to expand or contract, leading to shifts in its dimensions. When it's humid or hot, the flooring absorbs moisture and expands, which can cause squeaks or creaks. Conversely, in dry conditions, it contracts. Unless your home has a controlled environment, your flooring will always adjust to its surroundings. As a homeowner, it's essential to understand that your flooring will keep adapting to its environment over time.

Can sunlight from windows and doors effect my floor? 

Leaving your floors in direct sunlight for too long can cause them to fade, expand, contract, peak, or get damaged. To protect your floors, make sure to keep them out of harsh sunlight by using curtains, blinds, tinting or outdoor structures like pergolas and verandahs.
