Subfloor Preparation
The subfloor must be level, dry and clean. The permissible deviation is no more than 2 mm per 2 m. All high spots must be ground down and dips filled. The moisture content of the subfloor must not exceed 3%.
Laminate Acclimatisation
Before installation, the laminate must lie flat in the room for 48–72 hours. This allows the material to acclimatise to the room's temperature and humidity, preventing deformation after installation.
Installation Technique
Lay the laminate perpendicular to the window — this makes the seams less noticeable. Leave an expansion gap of 10–15 mm at the walls. Use 2–3 mm thick underlay for sound insulation and to level minor unevenness in the subfloor.
