SPC VINYL FLOORING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION:

Please read all the instructions before you begin the installation. Improper installation will void your warranty. Check all carton labels to ensure that the colors, size and run/lot numbers match. Installing flooring from different lot numbers can result in differences in shading, texture, gloss and coloring.

GENERAL:

This product has a pre-attached underlayment; using additional underlayment will void the warranty and can cause excess deflection which will damage the locking joints. There is no laboratory testing data for sound reduction that supports use of additional acoustic underlayment to further reduce impact sound or sound transmission through the flooring.

The flooring planks will not be damaged by exposure to water, however, the finished floor is not a complete waterproof installation and is not to be used as a moisture barrier. Clear standing water on the flooring as soon as possible. Water left unattended under the flooring with anything organic on the substrate can create a situation where mold and bacteria can be promoted. Any damage to the flooring or the surrounding structures from mold is not covered under the product warranty. Use of a 100% silicone sealant around the perimeter can aid in keeping surface water from migrating under the flooring around the perimeter.

Do not install flooring over carpet or any other type of soft surface flooring.

• Use window coverings or UV rated films to limit sun exposure during peak sunlight times. This will help create a more stable temperature and prevent flooring from thermal degradation.

• Flooring with Uni-Click Locking system does not need to be acclimated, however if the boxes were stored over 2 hours in extreme temperatures (under 50°F [10°C] or over 100°F [40°C]) within the 12 hours before the installation, acclimation is required. In this case, place cartons (stacks of 5 high max.) in installation area at service temperature for at least 8 hours in unopened package before you start the installation.

• Service temperatures must be maintained consistent between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C) before and during installation. Gradually increase/decrease service temperature to the normal operating temperature of the area after installation.

• Always use oversized (minimum 2” diameter) hard plastic or nylon floor protectors for heavy objects or objects with high point loads (high PSI at bottom of leg/support). Castor chairs should have minimum 2” diameter wheels.

• For the best result, make sure to always mix planks from several cartons at a time; mixing the planks during the installation to balance the pattern and colors.

• Expansion spacing of 1/2” (12mm) where flooring abuts all vertical surfaces, including walls, columns, jambs, etc. These gaps will be covered with trim moldings after the floor is installed.

• Installation areas greater than 48 lineal feet (2400 sqft.) should have a 3/4” (18mm)expansion space around the perimeter. Use expansion moldings at openings less than 6 feet and increase expansion gaps to 3/4” (18mm).

• Maintaining a distance from heat sources such as fireplaces, wood stoves, furnaces, etc. of at least 18” with ensure a stable installation and limit damage to the flooring. Excessively low or high temperatures may cause this product to expand or contract and lead to visual defects of the floor that will not be warranted.

• Inspect your subfloor before you begin. It must be dry, clean, flat and smooth prior to installation; all substrates must be or made to be flat to 3/16” (5mm) within a 10ft (3m) span with cementitious leveling compounds.

• The flooring planks will not be damaged by exposure to water, however, the finished floor is not a complete waterproof installation and is not to be used as a moisture barrier. This product is also not to be installed in areas that have a risk of excess water exposure or flooding such as commercial showers, saunas, pools or outdoor areas.

• Do not install cabinets, islands or fixed objects on top of the flooring; flooring should be butted to these with proper expansion spacing.

• Undercut all doorjambs leaving 1/64” space above the flooring surface. Do not fasten wall moldings and/or transition strips to the planks or directly through flooring to the subfloor.

• Rigid Core SPC planking is best when installed the length direction of the planks parallel to the main light direction.

• Inspect each individual plank one by one before installation. No claims on surface defects will be accepted after installation; defects greater than 1” (1cm) are considered identifiable and should be culled.

SUBSTRATES

All subfloors / substrates regardless of type shall be structurally sound, clean and free of any surface contaminant, dry, flat and smooth prior to installation. Substrate flatness requirement is an F32 rating (3/16” in 10 lineal feet) or 1/8” in 6 lineal feet when measured; if necessary, flatness should be achieved by mechanical grinding or sanding or use of a cementitious leveling compound.
