Floating Method / Installation

This document is designed to assist with key points of consideration when you are planning to install our engineered (T&G) oak flooring for both the direct stick and floating method of installation.

We strongly recommend that you use a professional installer with suitable qualifications and relevant experience to install this flooring.

Suitable Substrates:

• We do not recommend Aquis engineered oak flooring to be direct fixed to joists and bearers. This method of fixing is not suitable for this product. Warranty will not cover this type of installation.

• We do not recommend Aquis engineered oak flooring to be direct fixed to battens. This method of fixing is not suitable for this product. Warranty will not cover this type of installation.

• Aquis engineered oak flooring can be installed over concrete, particle board (such as yellow tongue), plywood, cement sheeting, tiles or cork.

• Concrete substrate. Make sure the substrate has the appropriate moisture content (<2.5% moisture content is recommended).

• The timber substrate must be dry (<14% moisture content is recommended).

• Make sure the substrate is flat. We recommend 3mm over 3m in all directions.

• Choose a good quality leveling compound that is suitable to the site and site conditions.

• If laying over tiles, make sure the tiles are flat and secure. Grout lines should / must be filled with suitable filler.

Under-floor Heating:

• Aquis engineered oak flooring can be installed over in-slab hydronic under-floor heating.

• Our warranty will not cover any issues caused by in-slab hydronic under-floor heating.

• We do not recommend any other forms (such as in-screed hydronic heating or electric heat blanket systems ) of under floor heating. Our warranty will not cover issues caused by such heating systems.

Plank / product grading and inspection:

• Oak flooring is a beautiful and natural product.

• Each plank will be distinctive in grain and colour.

• Colour, grain, shade variation is not considered a flaw or defect. These features are considered natural and serve to enhance the charm of the flooring.

• Our flooring is manufactured to accepted industry standards which permit a defect tolerance not exceeding 5%. The defects may be of a manufacturing or natural variation type.

• The use of stain, filler or putty stick for the correction of defects during installation should be accepted as normal procedure.

• Should an individual piece be doubtful as to grade, manufacture or factory finish, the installer should not use the piece.

• The owner / installer assumes all responsibility for final inspection of product quality. If the flooring is not acceptable, contact your seller immediately.

• Prior to installation, the installer/owner has final inspection responsibility as to grade, manufacture and factory finish. The installer must use reasonable selectivity and hold out or cut off pieces with deficiencies.

• Once the plank / product has been laid it is deemed to be acceptable. Warranty will not cover any claim against plank / product for visible defects once the plank / product has been installed.

• We recommend that you order 8% to 10% extra above measured area for waste, offcuts and general cutting / fitting of the flooring.
