Installation Guidelines

SPC design floor is a hard-wearing, easy-care and decorative floor covering for private and commercial use. Due to low construction height, it is suitable for new construction and renovation. The porduct can be laid in lounges, in rooms with high humidity such as a bathroom, kitchen or cellar.

SPC Design Floor must be adjusted to the room temperature, where it will be installed for 48 hours in the closed packaging. In order to prevent edge damage and bending of the SPC, the packages may not be placed on the narrow sides or laid on underlay woods, but may only be transported and stored on a flat surface.

In rooms without strong sunlight, it is possible to install without expansion joints up to a length of 20m. For large areas or complex layouts(L-, Z- or U-shape, hourglass, doorways) or if heavy or permanently installed structures obstruct the free movement of the floating installation, the floor must be separated at an appropriate place with an expansion joint.

For areas with dynamic horizontal forces, such as those found in gyms, on sports or dance floors, the floor is not suitable. Expansion joints in the screedmust be taken over in the top ground. Between the floor covering and the walls as well as to all fixed installations, steel door frames or heating pipes, a lateral distance of atleast 10mm must always be maintained. Wooden frames are shortened at the bottom and coating is pushed underneath. On the walls, the distance is secured with wedges are removed and the distances covered with suitable baseboards, transition rails and pipe rosettes.

Floating installation requires the floor covering in the doorways to be separated. Directly adjacent surfaces with extremely different temperatures should be separated if necesary. Intense sunlight can cause thermal expansion. Suitable shading measures prevent overheating.

The package may only be opened immediately before installation. always mix items from multiple packages. Before installation, check the individual elements for correctness of color and structure and possible damage in good lighting. Differences in color and structure are material typical and not a reason for complaint. For items with a high static pressure load, weight distribution must be provided n accordance with the weight.

The ground must be free of old textile coverings, clean, permanently dry, even, firm and stable. Loose, soft or resilient old coverings must always be removed. The flatness must not exceed 2mm/m. Bumps must be removed and pits must be filled.
