How To Install Majestic Quick Step Laminate Flooring |
General: |
|
|
The new Uniclic X system introduced by Quick Step allows you to remove a damaged plank from the center of the room without having to strip out half the floor. While preserving the traditional structure of Uniclic, this new system features a modified long side joint, which makes the installation process even easier, especially in those hard to reach places such as under radiators or door frames.

Acclimatization and room preparation |

Ensure a temperature of 5-20° C and a relative moisture level of 50-60% inside the designated area.
After laying the underlay and the flooring, make sure the doors can close and open easily and allow the easy installation of the floor under the door frames by having them modified.

WOODEN SUBFLOOR |

Prior to installation remove any previous wooden flooring and check to see whether the plank floor is stable and nail down any loose planks and use special leveling layers if necessary. Remove any obstacles inside the crawl space under the floor plank and ensure a good ventilation, minimum 4 cm2 (0,6 sq.inch) of total ventilation holes per m2 (10,76 sq.ft) of floor, as the wood should not exceed a 10% moisture content.
Install the new planks at ninety degrees to the existing planks.
