Mistura Hybrid Flooring Installation Guide These instructions are intended to assist in achieving an optimum installation. Any variation to these instructions by installers may affect the warranty.
Preparation All installation of Hybrid 5G Click floors should be in accordance with AS1884-2012. Hybrid 5G Click floors must be installed using a floating floor system and should not be adhered, nailed or pinned in any way to the subfloor or structure. Floating floor installation systems should not be used if loads are likely to exceed 200kg/object area or if the load is greater than 30kg/cm2 - in this case, we recommend only direct stick products should be considered.
Pre-installation Checks It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that the product and accessories supplied are the correct product, colour, pattern and quantity. Prior to installation, each plank should be carefully checked in good natural light for any obvious visual defects. Never install defective product. If the product is incorrect or has any visual defects or damage, contact your nearest National Tiles store. National Tiles will not be responsible for any visible defects after the flooring has been cut and/or installed.
Site Testing and Conditioning Concrete subfloors must be tested in accordance with AS1884-2012 for moisture using the relative humidity in-situ probe test. RH levels can be up to 95%. Generally Hybrid 5G Click floors do not need to be acclimatised. However, if boxes are exposed to extreme temperature within the 12 hours prior to installation, please refer to the Extreme Temperature below.
Extreme Temperature Prior to Installation Should your Hybrid 5G Click floor be exposed within the 12 hours prior to installation for over 2 hours to extreme temperatures (under 5ºC or over 50ºC) (which may be due to storage in vehicles or transport to site), acclimatisation is required at a room temperature between 18ºC to 28ºC for minimum of 12 hours, in unopened packages prior to installation. Ensure individual stacks are no more than 3 packs high and they are spaced at least 200mm apart to allow airflow between stacks. The temperature must remain between 18ºC to 28ºC for the entire installation period and a minimum of 48 hours after installation completion. The ambient relative humidity in the installation area should be maintained at 30%-60% to prevent condensation forming under the laid flooring.
