Product Information

Full details

The Kronospan Chipboard Flooring is designed for homeowners and contractors needing a reliable and moisture-resistant substrate for residential flooring installations. Its key benefit is providing a sturdy, long-lasting foundation, especially in high-moisture areas. A minor caveat is that it serves as a substrate, requiring a separate finished flooring layer. This 2400 x 600 x 18mm chipboard features a tongue and groove system for easy fitting and a moisture-resistant layer for enhanced durability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this flooring ready to be walked on without a top layer?

No, this product is a chipboard substrate designed to be covered with a finished flooring material such as laminate, vinyl, carpet, or tile.

Can I use this in a basement?

Yes, its moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for basement installations where humidity can be a concern, provided the area is not prone to flooding.

What is the thickness of the board?

The thickness of the Kronospan chipboard flooring is 18mm.

How do I cut the boards to fit?

Use a circular saw or jigsaw with a fine-tooth blade suitable for particle board. Always wear safety glasses and a dust mask when cutting.

Does the moisture resistance protect against spills?

The moisture-resistant layer provides enhanced protection against dampness and humidity, and can withstand minor spills if wiped up promptly. It is not waterproof.

What are the dimensions of one board?

Each board measures 2400mm in length and 600mm in width.

Troubleshooting

Boards do not interlock easily

Check for debris or damage in the tongue and groove channels. Ensure boards are aligned correctly before attempting to join.

Subfloor feels uneven after installation

Verify the subfloor beneath the chipboard is level and that the chipboard itself was properly secured at all fixing points. Ensure joints are staggered.

Suspected moisture damage or swelling

Address the source of moisture immediately. If swelling is minor and localized, allow it to dry thoroughly. For significant damage, affected boards may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the subfloor area is clean, dry, and level before installation. Lay the boards with the tongue and groove edges interlocking. Secure boards according to manufacturer recommendations for your chosen fasteners (screws or nails) and adhesive. Stagger the joints for maximum stability.

Care: To maintain performance, avoid prolonged exposure to standing water. Clean spills promptly. For general cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the moisture-resistant layer.
