Pro Tips

Expert advice to ensure a flawless flooring installation every time.

01

Acclimatise Your Flooring

Leave your flooring in the room where it will be installed for at least 48 hours before fitting. This allows the material to adjust to room temperature.

02

Always Use Proper Underlay

The right underlay reduces noise, adds warmth, and extends the life of your flooring. Match the underlay type to your flooring for best results.

03

Leave Expansion Gaps

Always leave a 10-15mm gap around the edges of the room. Flooring naturally expands and contracts with temperature changes, and this gap prevents buckling.
