Owners Responsibility
Before fitting your floor you should always inspect the sub-flooring and environment where the wood is to be installed, ensure that all requirements meet or exceed manufacturers fitting specifications.
Jordan's Wood Flooring Warehouse declines all responsibility for any faults that may occur resulting from or associated with sub-flooring and environment deficiencies.

The owner of the floor has responsibility of the final inspection with regard to grade, manufacture and factory finish.

When ordering your flooring always allow 5% wastage, this is to allow for cutting waste or mis-manufacture. (All products, no matter how good, will always suffer from a small percentage of mis-manufacture). Never use a piece of flooring that you are unhappy with as this can not be rectified later. If having your floor fitted by a tradesman please ensure he is aware of this as we are unable to accept any responsibility after the floor is fitted.

Pre-Delivery
Flooring should not be delivered if building work is being carried out. Always ensure that plastering or cement work is completely dry. And never store the wood flooring in an area which contains damp.
The room in which the floor is to be laid must have settled to the ambient conditions of temperature and humidity that will usually prevail at that time of year. Always store wood floors flat, never leant a wall which may cause the wood to bow.

Storage
It is always better to store the wood flooring in the area where it is to be fitted as this will allow for perfect acclimatisation. Do not store in damp environment, next to heating, in any drafts or direct sunlight.

Delivery
Deliveries are made to the hallway only (upper level floors are to the ground floor only) unless previously agreed. When receiving your goods please check the products and amount for quality and quantity before signing for the goods.

Tools
In some cases it would be advisable to employ a professional fitter, however, if doing the job yourself, we recommend that you have the following tools available before fitting your floor:
Hammer • Nail Punch • Tape Measure • Circular Saw, Table Saw or Jigsaw
Power Nailer with Mallet* • Power Nails • Lifting Bar • Drill (for radiator pipes)
 Chalk Line • Pencils
(Always check manufacturers details for tool requirements).
