1. Product-Specific Fitting Instructions

Each flooring product has unique fitting instructions due to differences in installation methods and materials.

• Study Instructions: Read and follow the specific guide for your chosen flooring to prevent damage during installation.
• Unique Systems: Click-lock, glue-down, expansion gaps, and subfloor preparation all vary by product.

2. Essential Add-ons for Warranty Validity

• Laminate Flooring: Requires a DPM (Damp Proof Membrane) and suitable underlay.
• SPC/Vinyl Flooring: Almost always requires a DPM, especially in moisture-prone areas.
• Carpets: Quality underlay is essential for comfort, durability, and pile maintenance.
• Engineered Wood/Bamboo: May require a DPM and/or specific underlay depending on subfloor and installation method.
• Always Check: Refer to the product's specific installation guide for mandatory accessories.

3. Necessary Accessories

• Adhesives/Glues: Specific glues required for glue-down installations.
• Profiles & Trims: Essential for neat transitions between flooring types or at doorways.
• Skirtings & Quarter Rounds: Cover expansion gaps along walls.
• Subfloor Prep: Must be clean, dry, level, and sound — levelling compounds may be needed.
