[Chasity chen]

Before installing SPC flooring, we need some preparations below:

1.The surface of the floor must be dry, clean and stable.

2.Any polish, dirt, paint, etc must be removed from the surface.

3.The floor surface must be flat and leveled with a scraper and putty knife.

4.Maintain the room temperature above 15℃before installation.

5.Check that the doors can still open and close after the SPC floor has been installed(minimum+1cm(3/8’’))

Installation

Ensure that all installing floorings must be the same batch numbers.

Move the plank up and down and at the same time exert forward pressure.

The planks will automatically click into place.

You can insert the tongue into the groove.

The tongue-in-groove method is the easiest way. Please refer to the installation instruction for more details.

Condition:

a. Existing floor surface level must be within acceptable level with a tolerance level of 1mm only

Otherwise, this will cause a high low between vinyl planks and waviness effect after completion

b. It is advisable to do self-leveling cement before laying the vinyl plank for uneven floor.

c. For vinyl glue-on, floor, and wall (if any) moisture must be within the acceptable range. Otherwise, it is advisable to apply waterproof liquid before self-leveling cement for the floor and primer for the wall.

d. Uneven wall surface will cause a gap between vinyl and wall, it is advisable to skim coat the gap whenfloor completed. This can be substituted with wall skirting.

e. If floor skirting is excluded, it is advisable for the SPC floor to be installed first before any wall

panel/partition/furniture lay to avoid the visible gap between wall and vinyl plank. In this process, floor cover is compulsory to protect the completed SPC flooring

f. It has floor skirting, it is advisable for the vinyl plank to be installed last to avoid breaking into the SPC flooring.
