Plan joins, direction and edges
Draw the area and roll layout before ordering. Confirm the pile direction, visible seams and edge restraint. Include any cuts around planter feet and inspection covers. Compare quantities using the layout, not floor area alone.
Namgrass advises matching pile direction when joining its turf lengths. For your selected product, follow its own seam and adhesive instructions and agree the finished appearance with the installer.
Turn the idea into a project brief
Begin with the actual space, the existing surface and the intended result. Keep photographs, measurements and the proposed reference together so the supplier and installer are working from the same brief. Review these details before approving the sample:
- Roll direction. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
- joins. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
- cutting plan. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
- edge restraints. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
- openings and usable remnants. Record the proposed detail and the source used to confirm it.
Review appearance in the room’s light and beside retained finishes. An editorial image can help with proportion and mood; it cannot establish the physical texture, exact colour or documented performance of the product you will order.
Keep a reference-specific product record
| Record | What to obtain |
|---|---|
| Identity | Brand, collection, reference code, finish and current document edition. |
| Construction | Roll direction; joins; cutting plan. Identify the complete proposed configuration. |
| Application | Written suitability and exposure limits for the exact location, with unanswered points marked for confirmation. |
| Installation | Current instructions, supporting products, preparation responsibilities and details at interruptions. |
| Care & local terms | Reference-specific care guidance, supplier warranty, availability and arrangements for later matching or repair. |
Keep product evidence separate from an installer’s quotation and the supplier’s local terms. A document for another range or assembly should not be treated as proof for the reference being offered. Use the material evidence guide to organise the record.
Agree on scope before ordering
Ask the proposal to distinguish material supply, removal, preparation, installation and finishing. Resolve access, protection of retained surfaces, waste allowance and any separately commissioned work. Compare alternatives using the same project scope, rather than a headline material price.
Before handover, keep approved samples, product codes, care documents and the final installation record together. Clarify which spare material or reference information should be retained and how any outstanding work will be documented.
Questions before you commit
Does the material or brand name establish suitability?
No. The exact reference, proposed location and complete installation need to be checked together. Ask the supplier to resolve any missing evidence before ordering.
Can an inspiration image replace a physical sample?
No. Use imagery to discuss composition, then review a physical sample and current product documents for the supplied reference.
What should a useful quotation include?
It should identify the exact reference and the installed scope, including preparation, finishing, responsibilities, exclusions and the supplier’s local terms.
