Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this chipboard flooring be used as the final visible floor?

No, this product is designed as a substrate or subfloor. A separate finished flooring material such as vinyl, carpet, tiles, or wood must be installed on top of it.

What are the exact dimensions of each panel?

Each panel measures 2400mm in length, 600mm in width, and 22mm in thickness.

Is this flooring suitable for a basement?

Yes, its moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for basements, provided there is no risk of standing water or excessive dampness. Ensure proper subfloor preparation and ventilation.

How many panels are needed for a 10 square meter room?

Each panel covers 1.44 square meters (2.4m x 0.6m). For a 10 square meter room, you would need approximately 7 panels (10 / 1.44), plus an allowance for cuts and waste (typically 5-10%).

Can I install underfloor heating with this flooring?

Yes, this chipboard flooring is compatible with most underfloor heating systems. Ensure you follow the specific installation guidelines for your chosen heating system and the flooring manufacturer's recommendations for subfloor preparation.

How should I store the panels before installation?

Store panels flat in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing them vertically or on uneven surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Panels do not interlock easily

Ensure no debris is present in the tongue or groove. Check for any damage to the edges. Ensure panels are aligned correctly before attempting to join.

Gaps appearing between panels

Ensure panels are pushed fully together. Check for consistent adhesive application. Reinforce with additional fixings if necessary.

Slight swelling observed

This can occur with excessive moisture exposure. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid water ingress. Allow the panel to dry thoroughly before proceeding or covering. If severe, consider replacing the affected panel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before laying the Kronospan Tongue & Groove Chipboard. Apply a suitable adhesive to the tongue or groove as recommended by the manufacturer. Interlock the panels, ensuring a tight fit. Secure panels with appropriate fixings (screws or nails) at recommended intervals.

Compatibility:

This flooring is compatible with most standard domestic and commercial flooring finishes, including vinyl, laminate, engineered wood, carpet, and tiles. It is designed for interior use only and is particularly well-suited for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and other areas with higher humidity levels.

Care:

While moisture-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to standing water. Clean spills promptly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For general cleaning, use a mild household cleaner if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
