IMPORTANT!

For a good end result and validity of the warranty:

• Store your Parqe floor flat in unopened packages at normal room temperature for at least 48 hours prior to installation.
• The Parqe floor is to be installed as a floating floor. Make certain the correct distance from the walls is maintained(5-8 mm gap).
• Do not install the floor in wet or damp rooms, such as bathrooms or rooms with a floor drain.
• To help protect the floor, a doormat should be laid inside all external doorways.
• Use felt pads on furniture legs to prevent scratching.

Preparations

The floor should not be glued or fixed to the subfloor or walls in any way. With the climatic changes, the flooring will expand and contract very slightly, therefore a minimum of 5-8 mm expansion space should be left to walls, thresholds, pipes and other fixed objects. An expansion profile must be used in door openings, angled rooms, returning corners in corridors and if the flooring is longer that 12m or wider than 8m. The subfloor must be dry (max 60% RH, at 18°C), even (3 mm/2m; 1.2 mm/0.25 m) and clean. If you have under-floor heating, please speak to your retailer. Parqe can be installed on vinyl, linoleum, wood and ceramic tiles.

Remove textile carpets and underlay before installing. On concrete floors including those with vinyl tiles installed, first place a 0.2 mm polyethylene film with an overlap of 200mm.

Check that the planks are without defects and undamaged before installing.

Installation

Start the installation in the left-hand corner of the room with the tongue facing the wall. Use spacers to secure the correct expansion gap. The planks are assembled by putting the tongue into the groove of the installed plank at an angle of approximately 30 degrees by pushing the plank gently down to lock the joint. Start with the short side joint and place the long side as close to the installed plank as possible.

After the short side joint is assembled, gently lift up the long side joint and press it into the joint before you angle it down. Install the planks in order according to picture 8. The off-cut from cutting the last plank in one row is used to begin with in next row. Ensure that end-joints are more than 200mm apart. Continue this way during the entire installation.

For normal cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner without the beater bar and when necessary a damp mop with some mild detergent. Never use any wet or steam cleaning equipment. Never sand, wax or polish the flooring.

Stubborn stains may be removed with methylated spirits or similar and cotton wool.

Parqe floors have such a hard, dense surface the dirt finds it difficult to leave its mark, which is why vacuuming and an occasional swab with a mild detergent and a damp mop are sufficient to keep your new floor clean and fresh. It is always a good idea to use doormats at doorways opening to the outside to prevent sand and dirt to come on to your Parqe floor.

Stains from coffee, tea, grease, fruit juices and most items found in a home are easily removed with a damp cloth.

Stubborn stains from felt pens, nail polish and crayons can be quickly removed with a little nail polish remover, spirit or acetone.

Always use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent cratches from protruding nails or grains of sand which may have got imbedded between the floor and the furniture leg.

Lift heavy furniture while shifting, never drag it.

Note: Never wax, sand or lacquer your parqe laminate floor. Nor should you use any harsh abrasives, wire wool or similar cleaning agents on it – you don’t need them to get your floor clean. Cleaning – agents such as soap should also not be used, as soap leaves an oily film on the floor, this film hover does not damage the floor and can be wiped off with a damp cloth.
