Full details

FAQs

Can I install this flooring in a bathroom?

Yes, it is waterproof and suitable for bathrooms, but you must seal the perimeter with silicone to prevent water from reaching the subfloor.

Does this product require special cleaning tools?

No, a standard soft-bristle broom, vacuum with a hard-floor setting, and a damp microfiber mop are sufficient.

Is the AC6 rating better than AC4 or AC5?

Yes, AC6 is the highest standard for laminate flooring durability, offering superior resistance to impact, scratches, and wear.

Can I install this over existing tile?

Yes, provided the existing tile is flat, stable, and clean. You may need an underlayment to smooth out existing grout lines.

Is the Victorian Grey pattern identical on every board?

The pattern is designed to look like authentic mosaic, but there is natural variation across the planks to ensure a realistic finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between planks

Ensure the subfloor is perfectly level. Check that debris is not trapped in the click-locking mechanism and re-seat the planks.

Floor feels 'bouncy' or noisy

This often indicates an inadequate underlayment or an uneven subfloor. Ensure a high-quality underlayment is used to absorb sound and bridge minor subfloor dips.

Surface appears dull after cleaning

Use less cleaning product. Residue buildup from soap-based cleaners is a common cause of dullness; switch to a dedicated laminate floor cleaner.

Pros and Cons

  • High-end AC6 durability ensures long-term performance.
  • Waterproof surface ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Timeless mosaic tile aesthetic with easier installation than stone.
  • Click-lock system is perfect for DIY projects.
  • Low-maintenance surface that is easy to clean.

Cons

  • Requires proper underlayment for acoustic and moisture insulation.
  • Victorian mosaic pattern requires precise alignment during installation.
  • Not suitable for outdoor use or areas with standing water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and dry before starting. Use an appropriate moisture-barrier underlayment, especially on concrete slabs. The click-system requires a light touch; do not force the planks together. Leave an expansion gap of 8-10mm around the perimeter of the room using spacers to allow for natural floor expansion.

Compatibility: This laminate is generally compatible with many underfloor heating systems, but always verify the heating manufacturer's temperature limitations before installation.

Care: Avoid steam mops and abrasive cleaning pads. Use a pH-neutral laminate cleaner and a soft microfiber mop. Place felt pads on the legs of heavy furniture to prevent surface micro-scratches over time.
