Recommended Use
Recommended Use
Waterproof Hybrid Flooring is recommended for use in internal residential or commercial areas including, but not limited to, living areas, kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and stairs. If installed in wet areas, such as bathrooms or laundries, installation must be according to installation instructions, wet areas not included are areas/rooms with built in drains, such as showers or sauna, warranty will be void if floor installed in areas/rooms with built in drains.
Heavy objects such bookcases, billiard tables, kitchen units, that exceed 200kg/object area or if the load is greater than 30kg/cm2 should not be placed on a floating system. Damage can occur due to incorrect expansion and lack of correct raft movement.
If this flooring is intended to be installed over an existing wooden floor, it is recommended to repair any loose boards or squeaks before you begin installation.
Storage:
Ensure the environment resembles installation conditions (20°C and 40-60% humidity) to avoid material damage. Cartons should be placed in the installation area and remain unopened until commencement of installation.
Heated Subfloors
Most Hybrid Flooring can be installed over a heated slab.
Ensure the radiant heat surface temperature never exceeds 27°C (81°F). Before installing over newly constructed radiant heat systems, operate the system at maximum capacity to force any residual moisture from the cementitious topping of the radiant heat system. The maximum moisture content of the screed is 1.5% (CM method). Shut down the floor heating at least 48 hours prior to installation. Make sure that the temperature in the room is at least 15°C (60 °F) during installation. It is recommended that the radiant heat be applied in a gradual manner after installing the flooring.
Shrinking between boards, cracking and minor cupping can be expected when installing hydronic underfloor heating and does not constitute as a product defect.
If the flooring product has a 5G or drop locking system and is floated over a heated slab it is required that Crosslinked PVA glue be used as per the regular tongue and groove installation. No other form of underfloor heating is recommended.
Subfloor Preparation
Ensure the subfloor is flat and free from debris. For floating floors this generally does not exceed 2mm beneath a 1m long straight edge. For concrete subfloors a moisture barrier is required.
After Installation
Direct sunlight should be minimised with window coverings to prevent heat-related damage.
Never use any of the following products (or similar in nature) on your floor: ammonia-based cleaners, acrylic finishes, wax-based products, bleach, polishes, oil soap, abrasive cleaning soaps, or acidic materials such as vinegar. Many of these products pit or etch the finish of your flooring or prevent the proper use of recommended maintenance materials.

Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
It is only natural that hybrid floors will show signs of wear over time. You can expect years of beauty from your floor with regular cleaning and maintenance routines.
Always apply felt pads under any furniture or chair legs to prevent scratches.
Exposure to sunlight's UV rays accelerates oxidation and aging of materials. This may change the colour of the floor. Periodically rearrange the furniture to allow the floor to age evenly.
Never use any of the following products (or similar in nature) on your floor: ammonia-based cleaners, acrylic finishes, wax-based products, bleach, polishes, oil soap, abrasive cleaning soaps, or acidic materials such as vinegar. Many of these products pit
or etch the finish of your flooring or prevent the proper use of recommended maintenance materials.
Damp mop with a pH neutral detergent such as Bona products designed specifically for Hybrid flooring.

KEY BENEFITS
Common Questions About Hybrid
How Is Hybrid Installed?
How Is Hybrid Installed?
Hybrid flooring is installed as a floating floor. This means the flooring is laid directly on the subfloor and and each board is clicked together. On stairs is generally the only instance hybrid is glued down.
Does Hybrid Need An Underlay?
Does Hybrid Need An Underlay?
No. Hybrid already has an attached underlay so there's no need to install a separate underlay.
Can I Install Hybrid In Wet Areas?
Can I Install Hybrid In Wet Areas?
Yes. Hybrid is fully waterproof and extremely hard wearing. If installing in bathrooms, you will still need a professionally installed waterproofing system/screed under the hybrid flooring. Hybrid can't be installed in areas with floor drainage.
Can I Sand Hybrid Floors?
Can I Sand Hybrid Floors?
No. Hybrid is a man-made product and cannot be refinished like timber. If a board is damaged it can sometimes be repaired or may need to be replaced. We recommend keeping a spare box or two in case of future damage.

"I just had my floor boards which I purchased from Eastern Flooring and had them installed by them. I can't express enough how happy I am with the floor boards. I made the right choice and I love them. My cat is very unhappy cause he can't scratch anymore. Lol. Mercifully I had an old carpet so I let him play with it. The workmanship on the floor boards was excellent and would recommend anyone."
