INSTALLATION OF LAMINATED FLOOR PANELS

KRONOSWISS LAYING INSTRUCTIONS

The ground rules for laying 

Needless to say, laminate floor panels cannot be laid on a scree slope or marshland. Well,  they can, but it would be a blot on the landscape. No, seriously, a fine product such as this needs a proper base – every do-it-yourself floor layer knows that. 

Prior to laying, Kronoswiss laminate floors should be stored in the room horizontally for at  least 48 hours at room temperature in the unopened pack. Before, during and at least Three  days after laying, the following room air conditions must be guaranteed: Floor surface: min.  15 °C Air temperature: min. 18 °C Humidity: 50 – 75%  

For cosmetic reasons Kronoswiss laminate floors should always be laid lengthwise in relation  to the main source of light. Calculations should be made prior to laying as to the width of the  last row of panel. Should it be narrower than 5 cm it will be necessary to cut the first panel lengthwise before starting.

Kronoswiss laminate floor should always be floating, i.e., the underneath of the panels should not be stuck, nailed or fixed in any other way. After laying, skirting boards should be affixed to the wall, not to the floor!

Please adhere strictly to the instructions for laying, as claims for compensation cannot be accepted in the event of improper use. Should problems arise when laying the floor, the work should be stopped immediately and the specialist retailer consulted.

SPECIAL RULES FOR BATH ROOMS, KITCHENS AND SIMILAR AREAS

Areas where water may occasionally be present on the surface of the floor: In full bathrooms, in kitchens around the sink, dishwasher and ice maker, laundry room and all exterior entranceways, the following additional installation procedures should be observed.

• Add a continuous bead of laminate flooring glue to all four edges of the Laminate Flooring planks before installing as described in the following paragraphs.
• All expansion spaces in these areas must be filled with a 100% mildew silicone sealant.

Never install Kronoswiss Laminate Flooring over a sub-floor with a drain or sump pump or in any area constantly exposed to water or high moisture content. Examples include saunas, shower rooms, basements exposed to high hydraulic pressures, etc.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage to the laminate floor caused by installation in an inappropriate place.
