Terms
Terms of use
These terms cover reading the site, using its illustrations and relying on its guidance. They are written to be read, not to be survived.
By using Flooring & Decorating you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
Editorial guidance, not professional advice
The guides on this site describe general approaches to flooring, color and room layout. They are not a substitute for advice from a qualified installer, builder, electrician or structural engineer. Floor structures, subfloors, moisture, asbestos, building regulations and product warranties vary from building to building.
Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for a product and the rules that apply where you live before you install anything. If a floor feels springy, a slab is damp or a wall is cold to the touch, stop and get the cause looked at before covering it up.
Illustrations are illustrations
The interiors shown on this site are original renders made to illustrate an idea. They are not photographs of real installations, and they are not presented as client work. Colors in a render will not match a physical sample exactly; always choose from a real sample in the room where it will be installed.
Copyright
The text and illustrations on this site are owned by Flooring & Decorating unless stated otherwise. You may quote a short passage with a link back to the page. You may not republish an article, reproduce the illustrations, or use them commercially without written permission.
Links to other sites
Where a page links to another site, that site’s terms and privacy practices apply. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination site.
Accuracy and updates
Pages are dated and updated when the guidance changes. Despite care, a page may contain an error or become out of date. If you spot a problem, please tell us through the contact form so it can be corrected.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided as it is. To the extent permitted by law, Flooring & Decorating is not liable for loss arising from reliance on the guidance on this site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
