What this report covers

The floor maker's installation instructions decide the warranty: expansion gaps, moisture limits and acclimation. Leave a box of extra flooring for future repairs if the owner wants it, and the care instructions for the product.

How to use it

For each item, mark it OK, Needs attention or Not inspected, and add a short note where it helps. "Not inspected" with a reason protects you better than a blank line. Print it or save it as a PDF and send it to the customer with your photos.

FAQ

What should be checked after a floor is installed?

Flatness, seams, expansion gaps, transitions, trim and doors.

Why leave extra flooring?

So a damaged board or tile can be matched later.

Why do expansion gaps matter?

Many floors move with humidity and need room at the walls, per the maker.

What should the owner be told?

How to clean the floor and what to avoid, from the maker's care guide.

We know what works. Leave it to Koira.
