How To Fit & Maintain Your Engineered Floor:

Prep Work
It is vital to allow your Engineered Hardwood flooring to acclimatise for at least a period of 48 hours before fitting. You should also check the condition of your subfloor, ensuring that it is level and free of any dirt or debris.

Underlay
Your choice of underlay will vary depending on your subfloor. For example, it is vital to use an underlay with a damp proof membrane (DPM), if you’re fitting your floor over concrete. However, if you’re fitting over floorboards, it is not necessary to use a DPM based underlay.

Although Engineered flooring is fully compatible with under floor heating, you must ensure that the underlay is also compatible, i.e. it can distribute heat evenly across the floor (fit for purpose).

Securing Your Engineered Floor
There are five main methods used:
– Click System
– Gluing
– Floating Floor Method
– Nailing
– Screwing

Fitting
Once you’ve positioned your underlay, Engineered boards can be laid from any edge of the room. Be sure to use expansion spacers as you go along, maintaining at least a 10mm gap between the Engineered boards and the wall.

Remember, a majority of our Engineered floors have simple locking systems, while some have the more classic Tongue & Groove. Essentially, all planks will fit together like jigsaw pieces, creating a resilient, tight bond across each and every board when installed correctly.
