Subfloor preparation
Level and clean subfloor.
SPC Woodlook® Optimal must be installed on a perfectly levelled subfloor, cleaned of dust and all other impurities. If the subfloor is improperly levelled, or if debris is left underneath, unevenness will occur beneath the floor. Due to these irregularities, the SPC Woodlook® Optimal floor will not adhere perfectly to the subfloor, which when attempting to lock the click system on the short side results in cracking, fracturing or even snapping of the lock. Such a defect leads to immediate or, within a few days, visible unclicking on the short side of the plank. Never use brute force during installation; do not strike the lock/flooring with a hammer or any iron object. At most, a rubber mallet may be used, but even then you must tap the lock/flooring gently without using force.
Our recommended self-levelling products.
Please note that such a defect is always caused by:
A – improper or incorrect use of self-levelling compound
B – incorrect installation contrary to the SPC instructions.
Tools required for installation:
rubber mallet, tapping block for fitting and a utility knife (or another floor cutter).
