1、Use an electro static broom daily to remove dust and grit.
Clean using a slightly damp mop(very dry) with warm water. Flooring should not be soaked with water.
2、If exposed to large amounts of water, dry it immediately and open the window to let the fresh air in.
Use a commercial dryer if necessary.
3、You may use undiluted methylated spirits on a rag or sponge to spot clean.
4、Use a protective cloth/padding on the feet of heavy items such as furniture.
Heavy items must not be dragged across the floor.
When moving big or heavy thing, handle with care. Do not pull or push.
Attach felt protection pads to the legs of the furniture.
Never slide or roll furniture or appliances across your floor. Protect the surface if using a trolley to move heavy objects
5、Place mats at door ways to trap dirt and grit.
6、Avoid allowing degrading materials such as sand and shoe nails reaching the floor.
7、Avoid long-time direct contact with high temperature media.
8、Avoid direct sunlight – direct sunlight will damage the floor or cause fading over time,
so it is a good idea to use curtains or blinds to filter the sunlight coming in through the windows.
9、Move rugs regularly to keep consistency.
Although treated with UV protection, bamboo is a natural product and there may be a slight colour change
in different environments.
Do not use chemicals, household cleaners, soaps or wax. These will dull your floor and make it hard to refinish.
Do not use a steam mop.
Do not drag any sharp objects across the floor.
Do not walk in shoes that have nails in the soles or heels.
Do not allow dust and grit to build up.
Do not sand or polish Laminate floor.
Room preparation
Sweep,vacuum or dust floor/sub-floor before beginning installation.Ensure all grease,foreign particles,protruding nails etc are removed so the surface is clear,dry and smooth.
If installing over old floors etc make sure there is no delamination of old flooring or any unsound areas are left unattended.
Make sure the sub-floor is free of moisture,alkaline substances.This is usually present only in below grade sub-floors or basement areas where a high water table or poor drainage.
Check to see if sub-floor is lever ensuring a straight edge is used,if you find that there is more than 3mm variation in the level of the sub-floor over a 1 meter length,
then flooring leveling compound will be required or even concrete grinding to reduce any bounce in floor.
Materials Required
Moisture barrier underlay is required and approximately 5% more than material is required than total area measured,this is for wastage.
The quality of your floor installation will be dependent on the quality of your sub-floor preparation
Door jambs and architraves need to be undercut(trimmed) to allow for the flooring to fit underneath.
Also,make sure there is plenty of clearance under the door jamb for the floor to expand.
Installation steps
(1) If installation is done on a concrete slab,make sure the concrete is fully cured.If not,seal the slab with an approved sealer.
(2) Lay the moisture barrier underlay over the entire floor in the same longitude direction as the plank is laid.
(3) First row of flooring will be laid alongside the longest wall.
(4) A space must be allowed for expansion/contraction of flooring due to varying temperature/humidity conditions.
which takes place throughout the year.Start the first row minimum of 10mm off the wall using spacers to create this expansion.
Timber and Bamboo flooring expand much more in the width of a board than the length,
so if the width of boards exceeds 6 lineal meters across the room then more expansion will be required.
(5) Adhesive is not required in the Uniclic locking system while tongue and groove flooring requires PVA cross link adhesive.
(6) Subsequent rows may be laid one by one,the off cut at the end of the room is to become your next starter for the next row.
End grain joins should have a minimum stagger of 300mm apart.
(7) The last row of flooring doesn’t usually fit perfectly in width ,some ripping/sawing must be done.
To fit this last row special pulling bar is required for this final stage.
(8) Once installation is complete,fit skirting or beading to cover the expansion gap and transition trims to all doorways.
