**Guangzhou Shengbaimu SPC Stone Plastic Lock Floor Installation Guide**
Before beginning the installation of your SPC stone plastic lock floor, there are several important prerequisites to ensure a successful and durable outcome.
**Preparation Requirements:**
Ensure the surface to be installed upon meets all necessary criteria. The ground must be smooth, with a slope of less than 3 millimeters over a meter’s distance. It must also be completely dry, solid, level, and free of debris. Installation can proceed on existing cement floors, ceramic tiles, or other flat surfaces like wooden or woven floors, but it is essential to avoid soft surfaces such as carpets.
For the installation process, you'll need a few basic tools: a tape measure, a cutting machine, a hammer, a knocking block, and some glass glue.
**Installation Process:**
Begin by starting from the corner of the wall. Position the board so that the tongue side faces the wall, ensuring there’s a 10mm gap between the wall and the short edge of the board. Next, align the next board at an angle with the short side of the preceding board. Push the board forward gently and lay it flat on the ground. Repeat this step to complete the first row. Make sure to trim the final piece of flooring to fit the space, maintaining the 10mm gap from the wall. Begin the second row using leftover pieces from the first row, ensuring they are at least 300mm long.
Align the tongue of the new row with the groove of the previous row at an angle, then push forward and lay flat. Angle the short side of the board with the already-installed board and fold it down, ensuring the two boards form a secure locking unit. Slightly lift the board (along with the previously installed one in the prior row, approximately 30mm) and press it into place within the previous row. Lower it carefully. Once three rows are installed, adjust the distance between the floor and the wall to 10mm. Continue the process as described until the entire area is covered.
It's crucial to install the floor in its grooved direction for optimal stability and alignment.
**Key Points Before Installation:**
Leave about 10mm of expansion space around walls, pipes, and door frames. In larger rooms—over 100 square meters or dimensions exceeding 10 meters—additional expansion gaps should be created. Ensure a minimum of 13mm gap exists between the bottom of the door and the floor to prevent wear during normal operation.
Install the floor over a moisture barrier if the subfloor is prone to dampness, whether it’s cement or ceramic tiles. Keep the product in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for at least 48 hours after delivery, ensuring it remains unopened. Place heavy objects temporarily in the recently connected areas to stabilize them.
**Height Considerations:**
The lock-type moisture-proof underlay is 1mm thick, while the floor itself is 10.5mm, making the total height 11.5mm. Customers should allow for an appropriate 12mm clearance when installing the floor, particularly near areas like door thresholds, baseboards, heating covers, and other uneven details.
By following these guidelines, your SPC stone plastic lock floor will not only look great but will also remain stable and durable for years to come.
