FAQs

Can I install this in a bathroom?

No. While it is 24-hour water-resistant, it is not waterproof and should not be used in high-humidity areas with a risk of standing water.

Is an underlay required?

Yes, an underlayment is required to provide cushioning, acoustic insulation, and moisture protection from the subfloor.

Can I use this with radiant floor heating?

Yes, this product is fully compatible with underfloor heating, provided the system surface temperature does not exceed 27 degrees Celsius.

How much should I order for my room?

Calculate your total square meter area and add 10% to account for cutting and waste during installation.

How do I maintain the wood-effect finish?

Avoid abrasive scrubbers and heavy wax cleaners. Use a damp microfiber mop to maintain the surface shine.

Is the flooring scratch-resistant?

The AC4 rating provides high resistance to common household scratches, but it is recommended to use felt pads under heavy furniture legs to prevent long-term marring.

Troubleshooting

Planks feel bouncy or unstable

The subfloor may be uneven. Check for dips and use a leveling compound before re-installing.

Gaps appearing between planks

Ensure the room temperature is stable. Check that the expansion gap is not too tight, which can cause the floor to buckle or pull apart.

Click-lock joint is difficult to close

Check for debris in the locking groove. If it remains stuck, check the angle of the plank—it must be inserted at the correct manufacturer-specified angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a clean, flat, and dry subfloor. Before laying, acclimate the planks in the room for at least 48 hours. Ensure you use an appropriate underlayment to provide sound insulation and minor subfloor leveling.

  1. Prepare the subfloor: Ensure it is level within 2mm over a 2m span.
  2. Install underlayment: Lay a high-quality flooring underlay to protect the underside of the planks.
  3. Click-lock installation: Using the L2C system, angle the tongue into the groove and press down until you hear a secure click.
  4. Expansion gaps: Maintain an 8-10mm gap around all vertical obstructions.

For daily care, sweep or vacuum using a soft-bristle attachment to remove grit. For deeper cleaning, use a damp—not wet—mop with a laminate-specific cleaner. Never use steam cleaners, as high heat and moisture can damage the structural integrity of the boards.
