Review a sample
Pattern scale, colour and lighting influence the result. A sample helps establish expectations more reliably than a small online photograph.
Assess the location
The substrate and room conditions determine the required preparation and protection. Ask whether the proposed finish is suitable for splashes, cleaning and expected wear in that location.
Define scope and care
The quotation should identify repairs, base preparation, decorative application and any protective coating. Request maintenance instructions and discuss the visibility of future repairs before choosing the finish.
