Installation Guide & How-To Videos

• Wood flooring should be left to acclimatise on site for at least one week before fitting.
• We recommend that you use a qualified flooring fitter to fit your floor.
• Use a moisture meter to ensure your site conditions i.e. Sub-floors, walls and flooring are within the specified recommendations (e.g. anything below 3.0% in a concrete sub-floor is acceptable). If the sub-floor is calcium sulphate, a moisture level of less than 0.3% CM (which equates to approximately 1.5% moisture content (MC)) is permitted. Please revert to your store of purchase if in doubt about moisture conditions.
• You must lay a moisture barrier (we recommend Tuplex underlay) over all concrete sub-floors.
• Expansion gaps MUST be left around the perimeter of your wood floor (approximately 3/4” for a standard room). In large rooms, expansion gaps may be required within the floor. Joints MUST always be installed in door thresholds when floating floors.
• Never install kitchen units/islands or bedroom units on top of floating floors as this will restrict natural movement and may cause the floor to lift.
• It is vital that you read the specific fitting instructions for your floor type as different procedures pertain to each floor. If in doubt, please ask your store of purchase for a floor fitting guidelines leaflet.
• Before fitting your floor, please check with your fitter that you are completely satisfied with the floor.
• It is recommended to break floors at doorways to allow for expansion.

Please remember, flooring cannot be replaced once fitted.
