This instruction is a GUIDE only. If unsure, please contact your retailer.
Before you start It is understood that; • It is the owner’s/installer’s responsibility to read and be aware of the entire installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any additional compound or material you use. • The installer assumes all responsibility for the final inspection of product quality. An inspection of each board should be carried out prior to installation. Carefully examine the flooring for colour, finish, and quality before installing. Use reasonable selectivity and hold out or cut off pieces with glaring defects, whatever the cause. All such inspections should be conducted in finished lighting conditions, particularly in areas that will be exposed to sources of natural light. If the flooring is not acceptable, contact your retailer immediately. • Before beginning installation, the installer must determine that the environment of the jobsiteandconditions,andthetypeofsubfloor involved are acceptable. Thus, ensuring that it meets or exceeds all requirements, stipulated in the installation instructions that follow. The manufacturer declines any responsibility or job failures resulting from, or that are associated with inappropriate, or improperly prepared subfloor, or job site environmental deficiencies.
• All sources of moisture must be rectified prior to the installation of the floor. In addition, all moisture levels in the rooms fitted with hardwood flooring should also be maintained at a stable level, in line with normal living conditions. • In almost all flooring installations, a moisture barrier will be required. The form of Moisture Barrier Membrane you should use will be dependent on the subfloor and the installation method used. • Any on site dampness (such as recently laid concrete slabs, or wet paint) must be completely dried prior to installation of the timber flooring. Please refer to our installation instructions in the ‘subfloor’ section for more information. • The carton of floorboards should be stored in a protected dry place. • The boards should be placed in the room in which they are to be fitted, to acclimatise for 48 hours on site in a protected area and should be carefully stacked in their packaging to allow air to circulate. DO NOT OPEN CARTON UNTIL COMMENCEMENT OF THE INSTALLATION. • All sources of moisture must be rectified prior to the installation of the floor. In addition, all moisture levels in the rooms fitted with hardwood flooring should also be maintained at a stable level, in line with normal living conditions. • We recommend opening a few cartons at a time and mixing boards from each carton during installation.
