arrow 8 focus points
  1. As the installation of the Quick Step laminate floors is done without the use of glue thanks to the Unilink system you can walk on the floor during and immediately after finishing installing.
  2. Make sure that you have checked every plank and that you have taken out the faulty ones, if any.
  3. Preferably, the direction of the floor should follow the one of the light entering your space and the ideal temperature is of 15-20° C and a relative humidity of 50-60%.
  4. It is preferable that you leave the planks to acclimatize for 48 hours in the unopen packages at room temperature, placing them in the middle of the room where you will install the flooring.
  5. It is very important to make sure that there is an 8 to 10 mm expansion joint on all four sides of the floor, around pipes, thresholds and under doors to accommodate for any floor expansion or contraction caused by seasonal humidity level fluctuations.
