03
Lamination

Installation
SPC Flooring Installation Guide
Acclimatisation
Allow SPC flooring to acclimatise to room temperature for at least 48 hours before installation.

Ensure subfloor is clean, dry and level. Use a self-levelling compound for an even finish.

Plan the layout to avoid narrow pieces at edges. Start from the centre and work towards walls.
Click-Lock Installation
Fit planks together using the click-lock mechanism, tapping gently with a rubber mallet if needed.
