1）About the subfloor

(1) The foundation must be dry, flat, firm and ash-free;

(2) If it is a renovation of an old house, it is necessary to fill in the unevenness of the ground until it is flat. If the ground is flat or the tiles have been laid flat, it can be installed directly;

(3) It is recommended to use self-leveling before paving. The height difference of the subfloor within 1m should not exceed 2mm. If the height difference is too large, the subfloor should be re-leveled;

(4) Self-leveling must be thoroughly dry before construction.

2）About the planks

Before installtion, the floor must be laid flat for at least 24 hours to adapt to the ambient temperature. The most suitable humidity for install the click flooring is between 20% and 75%. The temperature must be maintained at 15°C to 25°C.

4）About reserved expansion joints

(2) When the construction area is too large, the expansion joints should be applied on every 8m~10m distance to release expansion force;
