ATTAR specialises in all types of documentation for any sized floor covering project, whether it be residential or commercial, to ensure the floor coverings selected are fit for purpose with respect to performance, construction, aesthetics, and maintenance, so as to mitigate risk on behalf of our clients.

This includes the writing and preparation of flooring specifications, tender documents, defects reports, flooring audits, etc.

It is our experience that the specification of the incorrect flooring type, incorrect flooring construction or incorrect colour can cause large and costly problems for the end client. Products incorrectly specified that are not fit for purpose can potentially require premature replacement and additional maintenance costs which can lead to unhappy clients.

Specifying the correct flooring type, colour, construction and floor preparation for each individual project is critical to achieving the desired outcome. 

ATTAR has assisted several clients with preparing technical documents to safeguard their flooring assets.

ATTAR covers everything from selecting the right moisture barrier (where required), flooring type, the installation including floor preparation, recyclability of the flooring at the end of its warranty period, as well as the flooring maintenance.
