Separate what stays from what changes
Show us the skirting, doors or finishes you want to retain. New materials need to meet them properly, so heights, edges and transitions are discussed before ordering.

Floors & tiles in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf
New flooring in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf often meets finishes you want to retain. We discuss substrate preparation, final build-up and transitions alongside the floor finish so doors, skirting and fixed furniture inform the decision.
Before work starts
Let’s check the details that could hold up your renovation
Access, existing materials and rooms you still need to use can change the order of work. Tell us about your property so we can plan around it.
Consider floor build-up and doors together
A new floor finish may change the final height. Door clearance, adjoining rooms and existing fitted furniture therefore belong in the discussion before materials are chosen by colour alone.
Agree arrangements for shared areas early
For apartment work, we discuss the handling route and areas that need protection. Information from the owner or building management helps us plan around the building’s day-to-day use.

Get the important decisions out of the way early
The substrate comes first
Levelness, strength and moisture affect installation. Old adhesives, loose layers and cracks must be assessed. Potentially hazardous older materials require professional investigation before removal.
Choose materials for the use
Living areas, kitchens and busy commercial spaces have different needs. Maintenance, moisture exposure and manufacturer approvals belong in the decision.
Plan transitions carefully
Doors, adjacent rooms and stairs determine the available build-up height. Movement joints and connections to fixed elements must also suit the chosen flooring system.
What to send us
Tell us the area, existing floor and desired covering. Photographs of transitions and doorways are helpful. For parquet and tiling, the scope and authorised specialist contractor are agreed beforehand.
What affects the quote
Materials, installation method, substrate preparation, room geometry and removal affect the price. An apparently inexpensive installation may need substantial preparation, which should be visible in the quotation.

Questions about your Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf project
Anything else on your mind?
Write to us.
Vinyl, laminate or parquet – which is best?
Use, moisture, maintenance preferences, feel and budget are key. Suitability for underfloor heating or wet areas must be checked for the specific product.
Can the existing floor stay in place?
Only if the substrate, build-up height and manufacturer's requirements allow it. A general promise without assessment would not be appropriate.
Does renovation mean removing everything?
No. What can remain depends on its condition and the changes you want. We discuss retained finishes and new connections together rather than assuming a complete strip-out.
Should I order materials before our discussion?
Ideas and samples are helpful. For floors, doors and fitted furniture, dimensions, build-up and connection details should be checked before ordering so your choice suits the actual space.
