More than a product name
Suitability depends on where and how a material is used. Consider traffic, cleaning and maintenance alongside appearance. Ask for project-specific specifications rather than assuming uniform products across every development.
Explain the use
Wet rooms, entrances and external areas have different needs. Ask for the evidence and conditions behind performance claims.
Read samples in context
Lighting, adjoining materials and surface area affect appearance. Record product codes, colour and approval details. A visual selection is separate from technical suitability.
Consider interfaces
Thresholds, wet-area transitions, window surrounds and service access need coordinated details. Ask how changes affect other elements, cost and timing.
Plan maintenance
Request cleaning and care instructions at handover. Keep product information for future replacements. Direct project-specific questions to the team with the project name and location within the property.
