Installation instructions for Majestic Quick Step floor coverings
 
arrow General
Whilst still preserving all the benefits of traditional Uniclic joints, the new Uniclic X system allows you to easily replace a damaged panel in the middle of the room, without having to pull up the entire floor. Maintaining its original structure, based on a tongue and a groove that click together to form strong joints without the use of glue, the Uniclic X features a modified long side joint, to make installing even easier, especially in those hard to reach places. This structural improvement makes the replacing of a damaged board in the middle of the room possible without having to pull up the surrounding floor.
arrow Preparing the room
  • Check for the general conditions inside the designated room: ideal conditions are 15 - 20°C (59-68°F) at a relative humidity of 50-60%.
  • Check that doors can still open after you install the underlay and the floor
  • Modify door frames to allow an easy installation of the floor under them
  • Remove old skirting boards
arrow CONCRETE SUBFLOOR
arrow New buiding:
  • Make sure to allow the new concrete floor to dry for a week if it is of 1 – 4 cm thick and the double amount of time for a thickness of over 4 cm.
  • The moisture content of the concrete must be less than 2.5% (CM method)
  • If you are installing the laminate flooring in a room with underfloor heating, make sure that the subfloor does not exceed the temperature of 28.8oC and that the moisture content is less than 1.5% and make sure to ask for special instructions or use a professional for the installation.
arrow Renovation:
  • The Uniclic X floor boards can be placed on top of damp-proof floor covering such as PVC, linoleum,etc.
  • All damp-open floor coverings such as carpets and needle felts should be removed prior to installation.
arrow PLANK SUBFLOOR
  • First remove any previous flooring
  • Check to see whether the plank floor is stable and nail down any loose planks and use special leveling layers if necessary.
  • The maximum moisture content of the wood must not exceed 10%
  • Allow a good ventilation, minimum 4 cm2 (0,6 sq.inch) of total ventilation holes per m2 (10,76 sq.ft) of floor, in the crawl space under the plank floor by removing any obstacles.
  • The new panels must be installed at ninety degrees to the existing planks.
