It is 24-hour water-resistant, meaning it can handle spills if cleaned up promptly, but it is not waterproof and should not be used in bathrooms.
No, laminate flooring must be installed on a flat, solid, and stable surface like concrete, wood, or tile.
Each pack contains eight planks covering approximately 1.8336m².
Yes, always leave a small gap between the flooring and the walls to allow for natural thermal expansion.
It is rated Class 32, making it suitable for light commercial use, such as small offices or quiet boutique spaces.
Steam mops are generally discouraged as they can force moisture into the joints and damage the core; a damp mop is safer.
Ensure the subfloor is perfectly level and that the planks were clicked fully into place during installation; temperature fluctuations can also cause slight expansion.
The subfloor may be uneven, or a high-quality underlay was not used. Verify subfloor levelness and ensure an acoustic underlay is installed.
Use felt pads on all furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor; clean with a neutral pH laminate-specific cleaner.
Installation is simplified through the L2C click-locking system, which allows boards to snap together firmly. Before installation, ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level to prevent squeaking or board shifting. If installing over concrete, a moisture barrier underlay is required. For maintenance, a dry dust mop or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment is sufficient for daily cleaning. If using a damp mop, ensure it is only slightly moist and never dripping wet, as standing water should be avoided. Use cleaners specifically formulated for laminate floors to preserve the protective top layer.
