Samples and colour charts

Samples and colour charts

A sample helps compare colour and texture before ordering. Inspect it in the project's lighting next to the floor, wall or adjoining material.

How to compare the options

Start with the intended location and compare options that fit the task. Beyond appearance, check the variant, fixing method and care instructions where relevant.

When buying for a company, record the product name and variant code. This helps you rebuild the schedule and compare against products already used at the site.

What to confirm before ordering

List the required features before deciding and note where colour, dimensions or finish can vary. If the item is for an existing interior, compare it in both daylight and artificial light. For a purchase spanning multiple ranges, include photographs and existing product references so that compatibility can be checked.

Record actual measurements and state whether they were taken at a finished site or from a drawing. For an order covering several areas, list zones with different conditions separately instead of combining them into a single floor area.

Use the data sheet for the exact variant to check the intended use, material and care instructions. If the project specifies a performance value, request documentation that covers the chosen model and its installation method.

For a quote, add a photo, sketch or the code of the product you are considering. Include the timing, number of sites and whether the enquiry covers supply alone or also selection, scope planning and installation. Service availability depends on the product and location.

Frequently asked questions

How should I take measurements?

Measure in more than one place, record the units and mark anything that could affect fitting, day-to-day use or cleaning access. Include an object of known size in the photo if useful.

How do I compare two similar variants?

Compare the product sheets for the exact codes even when the images look alike. Check whether the important values apply to the size, material and conditions of use you need.

What should I list for multiple sites?

Record conditions, dimensions and quantities for each site. Where conditions are similar, agree on a trial option and check it at one location before placing the rest of the order.

How should I plan cleaning and maintenance?

Check the manufacturer’s instructions for the material and fixings. Consider access to areas where dust or moisture can build up and whether a section can be lifted or replaced.
