Troubleshooting
Planks do not lock together securely
Ensure the locking mechanisms on the edges of the planks are clean and free from debris. Check for any damage to the tongue or groove system. Make sure planks are aligned correctly before applying pressure.
Floor feels uneven or hollow
This often indicates an improperly prepared subfloor or missing/inadequate underlayment. Check for high spots or low spots in the subfloor and ensure the underlayment is laid flat and evenly.
Visible gaps between planks
Ensure planks are fully engaged. Use a tapping block and hammer gently along the long and short edges to close any small gaps. Check for debris trapped in the locking system.
Water stains or swelling around edges
Wipe up any standing water immediately. While the Aqua feature offers protection, prolonged exposure can still cause damage. Ensure proper sealing of expansion gaps if necessary.
