Pre-Installation Checklist
A successful installation requires proper preparation of the sub floor. Read and understand all applicable guidelines and technical data sheets before beginning installation. Follow industry standards and flooring manufacturer's recommendations for sub floor moisture content, design, layout and application of flooring materials. All slab constructions must meet the specific requirements of the floor covering to be installed.
Sub Floor Examination
Prior to starting, the sub floor must be checked according to NWFA installation guidelines. It must be solid and sound, flat, permanently dry, clean, free of chaps, indentations and anti-adherents, as well as resistant to pressure and tension. Moisture content of all floors must be measured before installation.
All timber floors should have 8-14% moisture content at installation. There should be no more than a 4-5% variance in moisture content between the timber flooring and any timber sub floor. See NWFA guidelines and the timber flooring manufacturer's recommendations for details.
Sub Floor Preparation
Depending on type and condition of sub floor, a mechanical treatment (e.g. mechanical brushing, grinding or sanding) may be required. Intensity of such work must be determined at the site by the installer. Dust, paint, residual adhesives or other surface contaminants must be removed by suitable means. Cleaning the surface with an industrial vacuum cleaner is recommended. Cracks and gaps must be filled with concrete crack filler unless they are expansion joints. Level when necessary to 3/16 inches within 10 feet. Heated sub floors must be primed.
Installation Procedure
Installation of laminate floors:

Apply glue continuously along the upper part of the tongue of the element already laid and along the upper side of the lower groove edge of the element to be laid.

Installation of engineered, plytimber and chip board:

Apply glue continuously along the upper and lower part of the tongue of the element to be laid. Press elements together hard. Wipe wet adhesive from pre-finished flooring with a cloth dampened with water. Add mild soap if necessary. Do not leave water spills on flooring as they will cause dimensional changes to the timber flooring."
