Position the first plank so the tab is facing you. Placing the plank 6 mm \/ 1\/4\u00a8 from the left corner of the wall. Use spacers between the wall and the floor.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">TOOLS REQUIRED: Spacers, rubber mallet, ruler, pencil, tape measure, utility knife, tapping block, 0.15 mm moisture barrier, square, transition moldings, jamb saw, chalk line, eye protection, level, knee pads (optional), broom or vacuum.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Prior to installation, inspect the material in daylight for visible faults\/damage, including defects or discrepancies in color or shine; check the edges of the flooring for straightness and any damage. No claims on surface defects will be accepted after installation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 It is preferable to lay boards perpendicular to the window, following the direction of the main source of light. For the best result, make sure to always work from 3 to 4 cartons at a time, mixing the planks during the installation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Check if subfloor\/site conditions comply with the specifications described in these instructions. If the subfloor is not within specifications, DO NOT INSTALL, and contact your supplier.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Flooring products can be damaged by rough handling before installation. Exercise care when handling and transporting these products. Store, transport and handle the cartons in a manner to prevent any damage. Store cartons flat, never on edge.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Flooring products can be heavy and bulky. Always use proper lifting techniques when handling these products. Whenever possible, make use of material-handling equipment such as dollies or material carts. Never lift more than you can safely handle; get assistance.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Calculate the room surface prior to installation and plan an extra 5-10% of flooring for cutting allowance.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 The environment where the flooring is to be installed is critically important with regard to successful installation and continued performance of the flooring products. The flooring is intended to be installed in interior locations only. These interior locations must meet climatic and structural requirements as well.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 In most cases, this product does not need to be acclimated. However, if the boxes of flooring were exposed for over 2 hours to extreme temperatures under 10\u00b0C or over 35\u00b0C within 12 hours before the installation, acclimation is required. In this case, keep the boards at room temperature for at least 12 hours in an unopened package before you start the installation. The room temperature must be maintained consistently between 20-25\u00b0C before and during the installation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 The flooring should only be installed in temperature ranges between 20-25\u00b0C, it is necessary to maintain a constant temperature before and during the installation. Portable heaters are not recommended as they may not heat the room and subfloor sufficiently. Kerosene heaters should never be used.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 After installation, make sure that the flooring is not exposed to temperatures less than 10\u00b0C or greater than 50\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 For floor surfaces exceeding 400 m2 and\/or lengths exceeding 20 m, use expansion moldings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">SUBFLOOR INFORMATION<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 The flooring can be installed over most existing hard surface floor coverings, provided that the existing floor surface is structurally sound, clean, dry, and smooth. Subfloor variations should not exceed 5 mm over 3 m.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 The substrate should not slope more than 25 mm per 2 m in any direction.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Depressions, deep grooves, expansion joints, and other subfloor imperfections must be filled with patching &amp; leveling compound.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Substrates must be free from excessive moisture or alkali. Remove dirt, paint, varnish, wax, oils, solvents, and any foreign matter and contaminants.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Do not use products containing petroleum, solvents, or citrus oils to prepare substrates as they can cause staining and expansion of the new flooring.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Although this floor is waterproof, it is not to be used as a moisture barrier.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 This product is also not to be installed in areas that have a risk of flooding such as saunas or outdoor areas, seasonal porches, camping trailers, boats, RVs, lanais, rooms that are prone to flooding, or rooms or homes that are not temperature-controlled.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Existing sheet vinyl floors must not be cushioned and not exceed more than one layer in thickness. Soft underlayment and soft substrates will diminish the product\u2019s inherent strength in the clicking mechanism and resisting indentations and could void the warranty.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Acceptable job site conditions, including subfloor moisture conditions, must be maintained throughout the lifetime of the flooring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">WOOD SUBFLOORS<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 If this flooring is intended to be installed over an existing wood floor, it is recommended to repair any loose boards or squeaks before you begin the installation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Wood subfloors must have no more than 12% MC (moisture content).<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Basements and crawl spaces must be dry. Use of a 0.15 mm poly-film is required to cover 100% of the crawl space earth.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 We recommend laying the flooring crossways to the existing floorboards.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 All other subfloors &#8212; plywood, OSB, particleboard, chipboard, wafer board, etc. must be structurally sound and must be installed following their manufacturer\u2019s recommendations.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 DO NOT install over sleeper construction subfloors or wood subfloors applied directly over concrete.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">CONCRETE SUBFLOORS<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Existing concrete subfloors must be fully cured, at least 60 days old, smooth, permanently dry, clean, and free of all foreign material such as dust, wax, solvents, paint, grease, oils, and old adhesive residue.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 The subfloor must be dry. With a pH limit of 9 and comply with moisture content requirements and tested as per the below methods:<\/p>\n<p class=\"tabb\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 Concrete moisture vapor emissions must not exceed 3.63 kg MVER (moisture vapor emission rate) per 93 m2 per 24 hours. This can be measured with the calcium chloride test (ASTM F1869).<\/p>\n<p class=\"tabb\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 90% RH (ASTM F2170).<\/p>\n<p class=\"tabb\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 Max. 2.5% moisture content (CM method \/ ASTM F2659).<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 A minimum of 0.15 mm poly-film is required as a moisture barrier between the concrete subfloor and the flooring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">NOTE: THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DETERMINING IF THE EXISTING FLOORING IS SUITABLE TO BE INSTALLED OVER RESTS SOLELY WITH THE INSTALLER\/FLOORING CONTRACTOR ON SITE. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT AS TO SUITABILITY, THE EXISTING FLOORING SHOULD BE REMOVED, OR AN ACCEPTABLE UNDERLAYMENT INSTALLED OVER IT. INSTALLATIONS OVER EXISTING RESILIENT FLOORING MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INDENTATION.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">DO NOT INSTALL OVER<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Any type of carpet.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Existing cushion-backed vinyl flooring.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Floating floor of any type, loose lay, and perimeter fastened sheet vinyl.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Hardwood flooring \/ wood subfloors that lay directly on concrete or over dimensional lumber or plywood used over concrete.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cuadd\">\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">IMPORTANT NOTICE<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">In-floor Radiant Heat: Flooring can be installed over 12 mm embedded radiant heat using the floating method. Maximum operating temperature should never exceed 30\u00b0C. The use of an in-floor temperature sensor is recommended to avoid overheating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 Turn the heat off for 24 hours before, during, and 24 hours after installation when installing over radiant heated subfloors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 Before installing over newly constructed radiant heat systems, operate the system at maximum capacity to force any residual moisture from the cementitious topping of the radiant heat system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 Make sure that the temperature in the room is maintained consistently between 20-25\u00b0C before and during the installation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 Once the installation is completed, the heating system should be turned on at the ambient temperature and gradually increased in 5\u00b0C increments every 12 hours until reaching normal operating conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">\u2022 Refer to the radiant heat system\u2019s manufacturer recommendations for additional guidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\"><strong>Warning:<\/strong> Electric heating mats that are not embedded into the subfloor are not recommended for use underneath the floors. Using electric heating mats that are not embedded and applied directly underneath the floors could void the warranty for your floor in case of failure. It is best to install the flooring over embedded radiant floor heating systems and adhere to the guidelines listed above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> The best idea to maximize the results of your heating system is to have \u201cON\u201d times with a comfortable temperature and \u201cOFF\u201d times with setback temperatures which are normally 4\u00b0C lower than your comfort temperature. The setback temperatures are particularly important as these won\u2019t let the temperature of your room drop too much, meaning it is much quicker to heat your room back to comfort levels when it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">INSTALLATION<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Remove trim molding, wall base, appliances, and furniture from the room. For the best results, door jambs must be undercut to allow the flooring to move freely without being pinched. After preparation work, sweep and vacuum the entire work area to remove all dust and debris.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 With a floating floor you must always ensure you leave a 6 mm gap between walls and fixtures such as pillars, stairs, etc. These gaps will be covered with trim moldings after the floor is installed.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Whenever possible, plan the layout so that the joints in the planks do not fall on top of joints or seams in the existing substrate. The end joints of the planks should be staggered a minimum of 20 cm apart. Do not install over the expansion joints. Avoid installing pieces shorter than 30 cm at the beginning or end of rows.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Do not install your kitchen cabinets directly over your floor. Built-in cabinets, kitchen cabinets, islands, and similar heavy items must be installed first. Only then can the flooring be installed, leaving an appropriate expansion gap around it. This gap will be covered with trim moldings after the floor is installed. The quality of the floor can only be guaranteed if it is allowed to move freely. It must not be nailed, adhered, or fastened to the subfloor in any way.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Decide the installation direction. It is recommended to install the boards perpendicular to the window following the direction of the main source of light.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Measure the area to be installed: The board width of the last row shall not be less than 50 mm. If so, adjust the width of the first row to be installed. In narrow hallways, it is recommended to install the floor parallel to the length of the hall.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 UNDERLAY: If the floor DOES NOT HAVE a pre-attached underlayment, an additional underlayment is recommended in order to improve acoustic performance and absorb some irregularities on the substrate. Best results can be expected with an underlayment of 1 mm maximum thickness with a high density (&gt;135 kg\/m3), high compressive strength (\u2265200 kPa according to EN 16354, ASTM D3575-20, Suffix D), and &lt;10% thickness change (according to ASTM D3575-20, Suffix B) that supports the click system during daily use. Thicker underlayments, underlayments with a low density and inadequate compressive strength could damage the locking mechanism and will void the warranty.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">If the floor HAS a pre-attached underlayment, the use of an additional underlayment could damage the locking mechanism and will VOID warranty.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"fil2 wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div id=\"stepss\" class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1175\" height=\"1214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apegrupo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/stepss-.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.apegrupo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/stepss-.png 1175w, https:\/\/www.apegrupo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/stepss--290x300.png 290w, https:\/\/www.apegrupo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/stepss--991x1024.png 991w, https:\/\/www.apegrupo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/stepss--768x793.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1175px) 100vw, 1175px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  tt1\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">1. First row, first plank:<\/span> After thoroughly cleaning the subfloor, you should begin laying from left to right. Position the first plank so that the grooved edge is facing you. Place the floorboard 6 mm from the left wall. Use spacers between the wall and the floorboard.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">2. First row, second plank:<\/span> Drop the plank and gently tap down the end with a rubber mallet so it firmly locks into the previous plank until both are at the same height. Make sure both planks are perfectly aligned. It is crucial that after the short edges of two connecting planks are correctly aligned and the rubber mallet contacts the plank in the area directly above the short edge, allowing for correct locking. Note: Tapping the area close to the short edge, but not directly above it, may result in permanent damage to the joint. Continue installing the first row until you reach the wall on the right.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cuadd\">\n<p class=\"mmdd\" lang=\"en\">IMPORTANT: If you notice both planks aren\u2019t at the same height or are not well-locked together, please follow the disassembling instructions at the bottom of the page, disassemble, and check if any debris stuck inside the lock is obstructing. Failure to properly line up the end joint and attempting to force it in while out of alignment could result in permanent damage to the end joint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">3. First row, last plank:<\/span> At the end of the first row, leave an expansion gap of 6 mm to the wall and measure the length of the last plank to fit.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">4. To cut the plank:<\/span> Use a simple utility knife and ruler, and with the top side facing up, score heavily and several times on the same axis. The knife will not go through the surface but make a deep cut. You can then snap one half of the plank using your other hand to hold down the second placing it very close to the cut. The plank will split naturally.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">5. Second row, first plank:<\/span> Start the second row with the leftover cut part of the last plank of the previous row. This small plank should measure at least 30 cm. Otherwise, cut a new plank in half and use it to begin the second row. The end joints of each adjoining row should not be closer than 20 cm to each other. Whenever practical, use the piece cut from the preceding row to start the next row.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">6. Second row, second plank:<\/span> Click the long side of the plank into the previous row and place it tight to the short end of the previous plank with an angle of 25-30\u00b0. Drop the plank and gently tap on the end with a rubber mallet so it firmly locks into the previous plank until both are at the same height. Make sure both planks are perfectly aligned.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">7. After finishing the installation of every row:<\/span> Use a tapping block and a small hammer or rubber mallet to gently tap the planks into the click of the previous row to make sure they are tightly clicked together and make sure there is no gap between the long side of the planks installed. Any gapping can compromise the whole installation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">8. Tip:<\/span> After the first 2-3 rows of planks are installed, they should be checked with a string line to ensure that rows are still running straight. If they are not, it could be that the starting wall has some irregularities that caused bowing in the installation. If so, the starting row of planks may have to be scribed and re-trimmed to account for any unevenness in the wall. This can be done without having to disassemble the beginning rows.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">9. To lay the last row:<\/span> Position a loose board exactly on top of the last row laid. Place another board on top, with the tongue side touching the wall. Draw a line along the edge of this board, to mark the first board. Cut along the edge of this board to mark the first board. Cut along this line to obtain the required width. Insert this cut board against the wall. The last row should be at least 50 mm wide. The spacers can then be removed.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">10. Holes for pipes:<\/span> Measure the diameter of the pipe and drill a hole that is 12 mm larger. Saw off a piece as shown in the figure and lay the board in place on the floor. Then lay the sawed-off piece in place.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">11. Door molding and skirting:<\/span> Lay a board (with the decorative side down) next to the door molding and saw as shown in the figure. Then slide the floorboard under the molding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">INSTALLATION IN WET AREAS<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span class=\"smb\">IMPORTANT:<\/span> This product is not warranted for installation in wet areas with running water and areas with built-in drains, e.g., pool or shower areas.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Use a T-molding to separate the wet area from the rest of the installation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Fill the expansion spaces with a compressible PE foam backer rod and cover them with a flexible 100% silicone sealant around the entire perimeter of the installation before installing moldings.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">Branded and generic silicone tubes are available at any local home center or hardware store. IMPORTANT: Do not use acrylic sealant.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Apply silicone sealant to connections to doorframes or any other fixed objects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">FINISHING THE INSTALLATION<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Protect all exposed edges of the flooring by installing wall molding and\/or transition strips. Allowing slight clearance between the molding and the planks. Make sure that no plank will be secured in any way to the subfloor.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 At doorways and at other areas where the flooring planks may meet other flooring surfaces, the use of a transition molding is required to cover the exposed edge but do not pinch the planks. Leave a 6 mm gap between the planks and the adjoining surface.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">MAINTENANCE<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Use appropriate window coverings, such as drapes, window treatments, or UV-tinting on windows, to protect the product from direct sunlight as long-term exposure to direct sunlight can potentially lead to discoloration.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Sweep or vacuum daily using soft bristle attachments. Do not use a vacuum equipped with a beater bar.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Do not buff or sand the surface.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Clean up spills and excessive liquids immediately.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Damp mop as needed and use neutral cleaners recommended for vinyl flooring.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 The use of residential steam mops and spray mops on this product is allowed. Use at the lowest power with a suitable soft pad, and do not hold a steam mop on one spot for an extended period of time (longer than 30 seconds). Refer to the mop\u2019s manufacturer instructions for proper usage.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Use proper floor protection devices such as felt protectors under furniture. Equip wheeled-type office chairs and other rolling furniture with wide-surface, casters at least 5 cm in diameter.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to reduce the amount of dirt brought into your home. Do not use mats with latex or rubber backing since these backings can cause permanent discoloration.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or wax to maintain the floor.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 For stubborn spills use low odor mineral spirits or denatured alcohol applied to a clean cloth. Never pour chemicals directly on the floor.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Do not drag or slide heavy objects across the floor.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 The flooring can be used in homes where wheelchairs are needed, but only certain thickness products can be installed for that purpose &#8212; not including pre-attached backing, at least 5 mm thick product. The flooring must not be applied to ramps. Motorized wheelchairs are NOT to be used.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">DISASSEMBLING<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">Separate the whole row by lifting it up delicately at an angle. To separate the planks, leave them flat on the ground and slide them apart. If planks do not separate easily, you can slightly lift up the planks (5\u00b0) when sliding them apart.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div

A solid protective covering must be laid (must use at least 1\/4\u201d \/ 6 mm hard board) on your floor and gently \u201cwalk\u201d the item a cross it. Carpet or cardboard is not adequate to prevent surface indentation or roller marks from occurring or scratches to the floor.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 Damage caused by non-compliant casters on furniture.

This warranty does not apply to any products designated as B grade, cabin grades, closeouts, seconds, factory special, non-standard items and flooring sold \u201cas is\u201d.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">It is the responsibility of the purchaser and the installer, whether they are professionals or a do-it-yourselves, to inspect all flooring and flooring accessories before installation. If during inspection the purchaser or the installer knows\/discovers or can reasonably be supposed to know\/discover (for example when the default is visible), that the flooring has a visible manufacturing issue, do not install the flooring. Please immediately contact the retailer from which the flooring was purchased. No claims will be accepted for flooring of which the purchaser or installer knew\/discovered or can reasonably be supposed to have known\/discovered, that there was something wrong with it. In such case we only warrant the part of the flooring which has not been installed yet.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">We do not allow or authorize any other person or entity to alter the obligations and limitations in this warranty. This warranty is the complete and exclusive expression of our warranty and is in lieu of all other express and\/or statutory warranties. Any implied warranties, including but not limited to the implied warranties, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are limited to this express warranty. However, some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation on how an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">We expressly exclude and will not pay consequential or incidental damages under this warranty. By this we mean for example loss, expense, inconvenience or damages, other than to the flooring itself, that may result from a defect in the flooring. However, some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. We reserve the right to inspect the flooring and to remove samples for additional evaluation, if we consider this necessary. Any attempt to repair or replace the flooring without our consent will void this warranty.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">The failure of either party to enforce any of the provisions of this warranty agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or a waiver of the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every provision. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We will always respect these other rights. No implied warranties extend beyond the term of this written warranty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">4. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF ANY OF THE ABOVE LISTED PROBLEMS OCCUR<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">You should notify the original dealer of the defect within 30 calendar days after you know\/discover the defect and within the validity period of this warranty. Your dealer can answer your questions and, if necessary, start to process a claim. If your notification takes place outside this period, our warranty will not be applicable. In order to enjoy the warranty, you are obligated to present:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 A valid proof of purchase in the form of the sales receipt for the flooring and other accessories related to the installation which may affect the installation quality such as but not limited to adhesive, moulding, underlay, moisture barrier, moulding, etc.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">\u2022 A detailed description of the defect and\/or a photograph or sample of the flooring that clearly shows the defect. Provide additional information requested by the factory to understand the root cause of the issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"smb\" lang=\"en\">5. WHAT WE WILL DO If<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">we honour a claim under this warranty, we will &#8212; at our sole discretion &#8212; repair or refinish the defective material or we will refund the price of the flooring. If the flooring was originally installed by a certified professional installer and if there is a justified claim within the first 36 months from the date of the original purchase, we will also pay the reasonable labour costs to perform the repair or replacement.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">This repair or replacement or refund will be a pro-rated percentage cost of the flooring and labour cost. This percentage is determined by the number of years remaining on the warranty and the length of the warranty. For example, if the claim is made 3 years after purchase on flooring warranted for 15 years, then 80% (12\/15th) of the flooring cost will be considered.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">This warranty is limited to the designs, colours, structures and styles available at the time of repair or replacement. If the original is no longer available, we have the right to substitute another design, colour, structure and style that is similar to the original and that has a similar value. We will always try to take into account the wish of the customer.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COLECTIONS AITANA ESPADAN IRTA MARIOLA ANETO MULHACEN VELETA VLOOK INSTALLATION GUIDE GENERAL PREPARATIONS After thoroughly cleaning the subfloor, start laying from left to right.
