Terms of Trade
Here at MRFLOOR we are proud to represent high quality products, service and delivery in flooring industry. Our terms of trade are carried through every steps of the process from quotation to final delivery.
Upon acceptance of these terms and conditions by client the terms of trade are unchangeable
and can only be repealed by written consent from MRFLOOR.
Please note there might be important site-specific issues that may affect the outcome of any timber flooring projects. MRFLOOR strongly recommends a basic understanding of these issues, which can assist in developing a realistic expectation of the final outcome.
Please note once client has made the deposit, MRFLOOR team will commence ordering the right products and supplies for the job from the sellers and manufacturers. Therefore, any instructions received by the Seller from the Customer for the supply of Services shall constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein.
Agreed Scope of Works and Cost
- The client must acknowledge in all cases, MRFLOOR has explained the work process; specific issues, discussed realistic expectations and agrees that the scope of work is clearly understood.
- Beside agreed scope of work, any other possible job is a variation to the original load and will be charged as an extra work accordingly.
Agreed Uncontrollable Variations
- MRFLOOR will not be held liable for other tradesmen’s workmanship e.g. paint flakes, tiler’s spills, plaster dust in cracks, denting from ladders and other tools, silicon, work boot, scuff marks and etc.
- Any oil or silicone-based products include air fresheners and aerosol sprays applied on the floor will cause rejection of subsequent floor coatings.
- MRFLOOR may not be able to remove deep cuts and gouges, depending on how deep the cut or gouge is.
- MRFLOOR may not be able to remove stains from within the floorboards such as animal urine and watermarks and residue from glue and the backing of carpet underlay.
- Stairs and cupboards must be requested & quoted separately. Please note depending on timber species, the stairs may not match the rest of flooring.
- Floor coatings are not applied in a spray booth; therefore there will always be dust particles in the finished floor.
- While applying the final coat, we take precautions to limit any dust on the floor. Dust will be more noticeable on darker timber, gloss and semi-gloss finishes, doorways, large windows and areas affected by direct sunlight.
- Please do not expect the coating to look like a sheet of glass; there will be areas where the coating runs into dips, cracks and holes.
- Please note any swirl or cobweb effect on the floor is caused by distorted reflection on the floor from lighting.
- Some low-cost solvent borne polyurethane coatings are highly subject to sheen variation, rejections, roller marks and quite static in nature; which may cause undesirable traces of dust accumulated on the wet coatings and might affect the finished floor. We recommend the use of modified oil or premium water based polyurethane coating if this is a concern. By choosing the low-cost solvent borne polyurethane coating, you agree to accept all risks of using the mentioned floor finishing.
- Some finishes, mainly polyurethane’s may have a gluing effect on the timber and could cause timber defects. The application of these finishes is at the client’s risk.
Dry and Cure Process
- Despite of what brand for coating material has been applied to the floor, each coat will take up to 24 hours to dry. Depending on the season, temperature, humidity of the location and drying conditions.
- MRFLOOR does not accept responsibility for coatings that do not dry or cure accordingly.
- MRFLOOR does not accept responsibility for any unevenly dried coating layers and other possible deficiencies such as defects, blemishes, faults and flaws.
- MRFLOOR does not accept responsibility for inadequate drying conditions such as temperature, airflow, humidity and etc. Unfortunately, MRFLOOR does not control the weather.
Sand and polish Process
- Before out sanding team starts on the job, it is clients responsibility to ensure all furniture and other tradesman equipment have been fully removed from room/s. This can facilitate an efficient installation, which can meet client’s expectation.
- We always endeavor to provide the best possible service with the conditions given to work with, work in and work around. Please note, if other tradesmen are working on or around the property, we are not liable for the final outcome.
- Although high attention will be exercised by MRFLOOR installation team, due to the nature of machinery work, decoration and skirting may be liable to marking. MRFLOOR will not be held responsible for marking of walls, skirting and similar objects, and will not be held responsible for the cost of redecoration.
- Sand and polish of timber floor is a skill-required process. Please note, as all machinery is done by hand-controlled devices and applicators; therefore there will be signs of the process on the floor; which overtime will be representing part of your interior’s characteristic. As we believe this is part of the beauty of owning a timber flooring.
- MRFLOOR does not guarantee a complete dust-free space and finish on the floor. Such expectation is not achievable unless your timber floor is oven dried (i.e. laminate, previously done, redone finished floors). Dust-free finishing is unattainable for all domestic and commercial projects.
Floor Fill Process
- We will punch nails and fill nail holes and gaps at the end of floorboards with appropriate filler.
- We do not fill gaps between floorboards, as due the natural atmospheric moisture variations, movement of timber filler will ultimately fail at any time and will look unsightly.
- Any holes larger than a nail hole may have a sunken appearance when filled.
- We do not guarantee a filler color match and we are limited to light, mid and dark brown.
Floor Coloring/Staining Process
- Floor Coloring/Staining is not included in standard sand & polish process.
- Additional charges will apply for staining process.
- All color samples are for presentation purposes and may be different to the final outcome.
- If different timber species are supplied, no responsibility will be taken in regards to the possible difference of finished color due to inconsistency of timber.
- Once the color has been agreed either verbally or written; any changes will be charged as an extra work accordingly.
- It is clients’ responsibility to check and assure color at time of application since RE-coloring will be charged as a full job rate.
- Most likely there will be some variation in color and grain between new and old floorboards also staining can produce a two-tone effect.
- Due to the nature of the staining technique, skirting and similar objects may be marked and MRFLOOR will not be held liable for re-decoration.
Floor Coatings & Maintenance
- Three layers of sealant coating are standard; unless specified or agreed. Additional coatings will be charged as an extra work accordingly.
- Coating longevity depends on traffic conditions and maintenance imposed by client.
- MRFLOOR reserves the right to change job specification as necessary to provide the most appropriate finishing.
