Acclimation:

• Delivery of boxes should be made 24 to 48 hours prior to installation.

• Boxes should be stored in a cool dry location (approximately 16 - 26 degrees celsius).

• Boxes should be stored on a flat surface.

• Do not stack boxes too high.

• Do not store or sit boxes vertically (up against a wall or similar).

Glue: • We recommend using permanent hard set glue to install Aquis Vinyl Plank.

Tips:

• Use a good quality permanent hard set glue. Use a glue with moisture resistant barrier.

• Varied climate conditions on site may / will cause the planks to expand or shrink, therefore a good quality glue and installation process is essential.

Vinyl planks will / try to expand and shrink with changing climate conditions. Expansion and or shrinkage of the planks is not considered a defect. The amount of expansion or shrinkage of the planks is a result of conditions. There is no minimum or maximum expansion or shrinkage.

Starting: • Make sure the planks are installed in a straight line. Do not use a wall as a guide as it may not be straight.

• Make sure you measure the room and cut the planks to the lengths that best suit the room size. Try not to leave very small planks at ends of rooms.

• Plan the installation and layout of planks.

• Install the planks in brick style pattern (staggered joints)

• Staggered joints should be approximately 300mm apart for best visual effect.
