Laminate is a multi-layered floor made from high density fibre board with a water resistant wear layer.

A combination of High Definition (HD) digital printing and Embossed in Register (EIR) texture results in a floor that is indistinguishable from a natural timber
floor.

Water Resistant Laminate Flooring is recommended for use in internal residential or commercial areas including, but not limited to, living areas, kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and stairs.

DO NOT INSTALL in bathrooms, laundries, toilets, saunas, or areas subject to regular moisture or water.

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

Laminate 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 laminate floor.

Subfloor Preparation

Ensure the subfloor is flat and free from debris. For floating floors this generally does not exceed 3mm beneath a 1m long straight edge.  For concrete subfloors a moisture barrier is required.

After Installation

Avoid placing rugs, mats, or very heavy furniture on the floor until it has fully acclimatised. Additionally, direct sunlight should be minimised with window coverings to prevent heat-related damage.

It is only natural that laminate 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 laminate flooring.
