Installation Guides by Product Type
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is easy to install with the click-lock system. It’s ideal for DIY projects but requires proper underlay and expansion gaps to ensure stability and sound insulation.
Rigid Core Flooring
Rigid core flooring (SPC/WPC) features a click-lock floating installation. Waterproof and suitable for homes and commercial spaces, it requires a flat subfloor and proper underlay for comfort and sound.
LVT/LVP Flooring
LVT floors can be glued down or clicked together depending on design. They work well for both residential and light commercial areas.
Underlay
Proper underlay enhances sound insulation, comfort, and floor longevity. Learn how to select and install the right underlay for laminate, SPC, and WPC flooring.
Installation Guides by Pattern
Herringbone Pattern
Herringbone creates a dynamic, classic look. It requires precise alignment and cutting, making it slightly more complex than standard layouts. Recommended for laminate, SPC, and WPC floors in high-end residential or commercial spaces.
Chevron Pattern
Chevron planks meet at perfect angles to form elegant V-shapes. Installation demands careful planning and precise cuts. Suitable for SPC, WPC, and laminate floors where a modern, geometric design is desired.
Square Tile Layout
Square tile installation offers a straightforward, grid-based layout. Easier and faster to install, ideal for large commercial areas or contemporary residential spaces. Compatible with laminate, SPC, and LVT flooring.
Diagonal or Custom
Diagonal and custom patterns add visual interest but require additional trimming and layout planning. Best suited for skilled installers handling laminate, SPC, or WPC floors in bespoke or high-end projects.

Professional Installation Tips & Tools for Flooring Longevity
Laminate Flooring
Installation Tips:
- Let planks acclimate 48h before installation.
- Maintain 8–10mm expansion gap along walls.
- Check subfloor level; use leveling compound if necessary.
- Use underlay for moisture & sound insulation.
Tools & Accessories:
Tape measure, pencil, square ruler, rubber mallet, tapping block, pull bar, spacers, saw/utility knife, underlay roll, moisture barrier film.
Common Mistakes:
Uneven subfloor, skipping expansion gap, incorrect underlay placement, inaccurate cuts, ignoring acclimation.
Impact on Longevity:
Incorrect underlay, skipped expansion gaps, or uneven subfloor can cause warping, edge lifting, or premature wear. Use quality underlay, maintain expansion gaps, level subfloor, and acclimate planks.
SPC & WPC Flooring
Installation Tips:
- Acclimate planks 24–48h.
- Ensure subfloor is clean, dry, and flat.
- Use spacers and tapping block to avoid damage.
- For WPC, ensure humidity & temperature within recommended range.
Tools & Accessories:
Tape measure, pencil, square, tapping block, pull bar, rubber mallet, spacers, saw/utility knife, underlay (anti-bacterial, soundproof), moisture meter, leveling compound, chalk line.
Common Mistakes:
Subfloor not level, excessive moisture, wrong tapping technique, no underlay, improper plank direction.
Impact on Longevity:
Excessive moisture, poor click-lock engagement, or improper subfloor prep can lead to clicks loosening, warping, or surface damage. Check moisture levels and ensure flat subfloor.
LVT Flooring
Installation Tips:
- Verify adhesive compatibility if glue-down.
- Use proper roller to remove air bubbles.
- Ensure subfloor is smooth; self-level if needed.
Tools & Accessories:
Tape measure, utility knife, straight edge, roller, adhesive trowel (if glue-down), spacers, pull bar.
Common Mistakes:
Air bubbles, uneven adhesive spread, cutting without straight edge, ignoring expansion gaps.
Impact on Longevity:
Improper adhesive application or uneven subfloor may cause bubbling, peeling, or surface scratches. Use compatible adhesive and ensure smooth subfloor.
Underlay
Installation Tips:
- Lay underlay perpendicular to flooring direction.
- Avoid overlapping; tape edges if needed.
- Use underlay suitable for moisture & sound requirements.
Tools & Accessories:
Tape measure, scissors, utility knife, double-sided tape, roller, vapor barrier film.
Common Mistakes:
Overlapping seams, using wrong type for moisture/sound, not securing edges, folding underlay.
Impact on Longevity:
Wrong type or poor placement can reduce sound insulation, allow moisture ingress, or cause uneven wear. Use recommended underlay type and secure edges.
