Having new flooring installed is an exciting moment—it’s the day your home truly begins its transformation. But many homeowners feel unsure about what the installation process actually involves.
To help you feel confident and prepared, here’s a step-by-step guide to what happens on installation day with New Vision Flooring.
1. Final Preparation of Your Home
Before our team arrives, we recommend:
- Clearing small items and valuables from the installation area.
- Unplugging electronics and removing anything fragile.
- Ensuring pets and children are safe in another room.
Tip: If you need help moving larger furniture, let us know in advance—we’re happy to assist.
2. Furniture Protection & Room Setup
Once our team arrives, we’ll:
- Move or carefully protect your furniture.
- Cover nearby surfaces to keep dust and debris contained.
- Prepare the workspace to minimise disruption to your home.
3. Subfloor Preparation
A perfect floor starts with a solid foundation. That’s why we:
- Check the subfloor for moisture or unevenness.
- Install underlay (for comfort, insulation, and soundproofing).
- Apply moisture barriers where needed, especially for kitchens and bathrooms.
4. Professional Installation of Your Flooring
This is where the transformation happens. Depending on the material:
- Carpet – precisely cut, fitted, and secured with professional edge finishing.
- Laminate – click-lock system installed quickly with tight seams.
- Vinyl (LVT) – waterproof planks or tiles laid seamlessly with authentic finishes.
Our installers use specialist tools and techniques to ensure everything fits flawlessly.
5. Finishing Touches
To complete your new floor, we:
- Install trims, doorway strips, and edge finishes.
- Reposition your furniture safely.
- Make sure every detail looks clean and polished.

Before we leave, you’ll get a full walkthrough of your new floor. This includes:
- A quality inspection with you present.
- Cleaning up and leaving your space spotless.
