Variant: DIY Instruction

1. substrate preparation

Check the subfloor. Any unevenness that exceeds 3 mm over a length of 1 m should be sanded down or filled with a floor levelling compound. Then clean the surface to be laid with a hoover.

CAUTION: Never install vinyl over a soft subfloor such as carpet, cork or any type of foam underlay.

2. acclimatisation

The vinyl planks should be stored horizontally in the room where it is to be installed for at least 48 hours before installation in the packages. This will allow the material to acclimatise to the room temperature and not "work" so hard after installation.

3. before laying

Before laying the floor, it is imperative to follow the official laying instructions, which are included in every package, otherwise any claim to warranty and guarantee will be void!

Before laying out the floor, check the wall you are starting on and make sure it is at right angles to the opposite wall. If the impact sound insulation is not already integrated, we now recommend spreading out the insulation.

4. installation instructions

Tips for the UniClic system: To achieve as uniform a floor appearance as possible, it is recommended to install panels from different packages mixed together. You should start laying in a corner (left) and starting from the wall. With the tongue side facing the wall, lay the first board. Angle the end of the second board into the first. In the second row, the plank is placed at an angle to the end face of the row already laid and folded down. As the board is folded down, the long side of the board will click into the existing board at an angle. With a little pressure, the click joints now snap into place. The transverse joints (front side) should be offset by at least 30 cm from row to row ("wild bond", half a plank length for tile formats). You can use a tapping block and a light tap on the long side of the plank to help it along. To cut a plank, now take measurements and mark the plank. Then take an angle and tear the plank with a multi-purpose knife/cutter and break it off.

5. finishing the last row

Place the spacers on walls, door frames, fixed wall cabinets, kitchen units, etc. so that you have an expansion gap of approx. 5-10mm for underfloor movement or expansion of the product. To install the last row, it is recommended to use the floor layer's jointing iron from the accessories. When using skirting boards, make sure that the expansion joint is covered by the skirting board. If the floor is sealed, e.g. in the bathroom, the PE round cord is now inserted into the expansion joint and the floor sealed with a silicone joint.

6. attach skirting boards

Finally, cut off the PU film approx. 2 cm high and attach the skirting boards.
