What is the warranty?

Troubleshooting

Flooring planks are not fitting together properly.

Check for debris in the locking mechanisms, ensure the subfloor is level, and use a tapping block to gently secure the planks.

Gaps appear between the planks.

Ensure the room's temperature and humidity are within the recommended range. Check for subfloor movement and adjust as necessary. Use appropriate expansion gaps.

Scratches or dents on the surface.

Use a laminate floor repair kit to fill in minor scratches or dents. For deeper damage, consider replacing the affected planks.

Flooring is squeaking when walked on.

Check the subfloor for unevenness and correct as needed. Ensure proper underlayment installation. In some cases, the floor may need to be re-secured.
