Hardwood & laminate / PLANNING GUIDE
Make the material work for your space.
Start with these practical considerations, then review your chosen product in detail.
Describe the actual use
Include entrance exposure, furniture and how the room operates. Ask for written approval for the selected product in that specific commercial setting.
Coordinate the complete finish
Review samples with walls, furnishings, adjoining floors and stair details. List compatible moldings and transitions with the flooring.
Questions worth asking.
Does a residential warranty cover my business?
Do not assume that it does. Check the manufacturer’s commercial warranty and permitted applications for the exact product.
Should hardwood and laminate have the same care plan?
Use the selected product’s own maintenance instructions. Record those requirements before comparing the long-term upkeep of your options.
Manufacturer planning resources
Explore the manufacturers’ guidance. These references do not identify Royal’s available inventory or confirm a product for your project.
BEYOND THE SURFACE
Plan the finishing details.
Keep the compatible materials alongside your flooring selection so the brief covers more than the floor alone.
- Matching moldings and transitions
- Approved adhesive or underlayment
- Specified stair components
Before quantities become an order
Residential approval does not establish commercial suitability. Confirm the manufacturer’s written requirements for the selected product and use.
