Compare finishes in the context of use, care and personal preference. Images are a starting point; samples and verified product information help make a decision specific.
What to discuss
Ask about the expected maintenance and where a finish is appropriate. Confirm care information with the actual manufacturer and installation details with the project team.
Make the next step clear
Keep selections organized by room and decision date. Record the exact product or agreed specification when a choice is approved, rather than relying only on a saved photograph.
Your conversation checklist
- Explain how each room will be used.
- Request samples and product care information.
- Keep an approved selections record with the team.
