FAQs

What kind of flooring is this kit suitable for?

The Blostm Floor Fitting Kit is suitable for both laminate and hardwood flooring.

What is the purpose of the floor spacers?

The floor spacers are used to create the necessary expansion gap between the flooring and the walls.

How do I use the tapping block?

Place the tapping block against the edge of the plank and gently tap with the mallet to join the planks together.

What if my planks are too thick for the kit?

The kit is designed for flooring between 7-15 mm. If your planks are outside of this range, the kit may not be compatible.

How do I use the pull bar?

Hook the pull bar onto the edge of the plank and use it to pull the plank into place, especially in the final rows where a mallet cannot be used.

Can I use this kit for an entire house?

Yes, this kit includes essential tools for most flooring installations. However, very large or complex installations might require additional tools.

How do I clean the tools?

Wipe the tools with a damp cloth after each use. Ensure they are dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Floor planks do not fit together tightly.

Ensure the tapping block is used correctly and that the mallet is used with controlled force. Check for debris on the plank edges.

Spacers are difficult to insert.

Make sure you are using the correct size spacers for your flooring and there is sufficient space against the wall. Use a small pry bar if needed.

Pull bar is ineffective.

Check that the pull bar is hooked securely onto the plank. Ensure that the angle is correct for efficient pulling. Adjust if needed.
