DIY step by step

Variant: DIY-Instruction

button

1. substrate check

The first step is to check the subfloor. Sand down any unevenness and fill it with a floor levelling compound. Then clean the surface to be laid with a hoover.

CAUTION: Never install PVC flooring over a soft subfloor, e.g. over carpet or any type of foam underlay.

button

2. before installation

PVC flooring should be stored in the room where it is to be installed for at least 24 hours before the installation. This will allow the material to acclimatise to the room temperature and not "work" so hard after the installation.

For loose laying of an area larger than 20 m², we recommend taping the edge of the walls.

Before laying, it is imperative to follow the official laying instructions, which are included in every package, otherwise any claim to warranty and guarantee will be void!

3. cutting to size

Tip: To achieve as uniform a floor appearance as possible, lay the strips in relation to each other so that the patterns match exactly and the strips overlap at the seam. Unpack the roll and roll it out on the subfloor. Use a hooked blade knife to roughly pre-cut the strips.

ATTENTION: There must always be a gap of approx. 3 cm between the flooring and the wall and between the flooring and all fixed components.

4. laying instructions

4.1 Loose laying

Stick the tape strips to all edge areas and remove the foil on the back of the tapes area by area. Now fix the floor by pressing lightly. Make a double cut at the joint of the strip. To do this, lay the sheet overlapping and cut the sheet to fit exactly along the joint. You can then make the final cut with an edge distance of approx. 2 mm. The floor should be free of tension when cutting and no objects should lie on the PVC floor.

4.2 Gluing

Apply the adhesive evenly to the subfloor in strips using a notched trowel. Please observe the flash-off times specified in the data sheet. Now lay the strips in the wet bed and rub down the PVC covering. Make the final cut with an edge distance of approx. 2 mm. Finally, the substrate can be rolled with a roller to avoid air bubbles.

5. finishing loose laying

First, tape over the joints of the strips with masking tape. The masking tape can then be cut at the joint and now the strips are welded together with a cold welding adhesive. After approx. 1 hour, the masking tape can be removed.

6. attaching the skirting boards

Finally, you can attach and seal the skirting boards. PVC flooring can also be attached to existing skirtings with a mounting adhesive.
