Product Information

Full details

The Kronotex Marina Oak 12mm Laminate Flooring is designed for homeowners and light-commercial business owners who desire the timeless aesthetic of authentic hardwood without the high maintenance requirements. Its standout benefit is its extreme durability, evidenced by a robust 12mm thickness and an AC5 abrasion rating that resists heavy foot traffic and wear. While it offers a premium, realistic finish, users should note that as a laminate product, it requires careful installation to ensure the click-lock system is fully engaged to prevent moisture ingress.

FAQs

Is this flooring waterproof?

It is moisture-resistant but not waterproof. Spills should be wiped up immediately, and it should not be installed in bathrooms or wet rooms.

Can I use this with underfloor heating?

Yes, provided the heating system is water-based and the surface temperature of the floor does not exceed 27 degrees Celsius.

Does it need to be glued down?

No, it is a 'floating' floor system that uses a click-lock mechanism. It should not be glued or nailed to the subfloor.

How long is the warranty?

The product is backed by a 25-year residential warranty, provided it is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

What is the AC5 rating?

AC5 is the highest durability rating for laminate, indicating the floor is tested to withstand heavy residential use and light commercial traffic.

Troubleshooting

Gaps appearing between planks

Check that the floor was installed with proper expansion gaps at the walls. If the floor is 'pinched' by baseboards, it cannot expand and contract, leading to joints separating.

Click-lock joint not closing

Ensure no debris (like sawdust or grit) is stuck in the channel. Use a tapping block to gently coax the joint together; do not strike the plank directly with a hammer.

Floor feels 'bouncy' or creaks

This is usually caused by an uneven subfloor. The subfloor must be leveled to within recommended tolerances before reinstalling the planks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-traffic durability with an AC5 rating
  • Authentic wood grain texture and appearance
  • Hygienic anti-bacterial surface treatment
  • Easy-to-install click-lock system
  • Extensive 25-year residential warranty

Cons

  • Requires precise subfloor preparation
  • Not suitable for bathrooms with high moisture exposure
  • Higher initial cost compared to entry-level laminates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Ensure your subfloor is level, dry, and clean before beginning. Always use a high-quality flooring underlay to provide moisture protection and acoustic dampening. During installation, use a tapping block to ensure each click-lock joint is fully sealed to avoid gaps.

Compatibility: This flooring is generally compatible with water-based underfloor heating systems, though you must check manufacturer guidelines regarding maximum surface temperatures.

Care: Maintain the finish by vacuuming or sweeping regularly to remove grit that can act as an abrasive. For deeper cleaning, use a damp—not wet—mop with a laminate-specific cleaner. Avoid steam mops, as excessive heat and moisture can damage the locking joints over time.
