Why it matters
Many scratches, dents and joint stresses come from furniture use after handover. The floor choice should include how the room will actually be used.
Load is different from walking
A person walking across the floor spreads pressure differently from a chair wheel or heavy furniture leg. Concentrated pressure can affect surface wear and joint stress.
Rolling chairs can create repeated local wear.
Heavy furniture legs should use suitable pads.
Dragging can mark the surface and stress joints.
Protect the floor before damage appears
Furniture planning is part of floor planning. Pads, mats, lifting methods and care habits help keep the floor looking and feeling better over time.
Use pads under movable furniture.
Use mats where chairs roll daily.
Take photos early if marks or movement appear.
