Installation Guide

• 5% waste is recommended to add for cutting above the actual square footage. 10% extra
material would be better if install diagonal you may require.
• An extra box is also recommended that you retain for future repairs (when required).
• On very large areas, leave at least 1/4" for expansion space. And must be placed between the
flooring and all vertical obstructions (door jams, walls, staircases, posts, pipes, fixtures, etc.).
• Planks should not be glued, and can not screwed, nailed, or otherwise fixed (e.g. closet track, door
stopper,) to the subfloor in any way. It must have room to expand and contract freely.
• Can be installed in light-wet areas but can not be installed in exterior wet areas like patios or
exteriors unless the outdoor area be below a roof.
• Be sure that subfloors be Clean, Dry and Flat. If found differences in floor flatness must either
be sanded or ground down, or built-up with a suitable floor leveling material because improper
substrate or flatness can result in gaps, or poor plank fitting during assembly.
• Install confident over most existing floors if clean, flat, dry, and well bonded/secured tile flooring,
vinyl flooring, sheet vinyl, VCT, LVT, ceramic tile, and hardwood flooring that have a wood subfloor
underneath
• Don’t install over cushioned vinyl flooring, or any existing floating floor products.
• Carpeting must be removed before laying this floor
• This product doesn’t requires acclimation. However leaving at least 24 hours in the area where
installation will be performed would be a good practice.
• HYDROSTOP doesn’t requires underlayment if subfloor is flat enough. However, if subfloor have
evident and clear imperfections an underlayment positioning would be better. HYDROSTOP
PREMIUM already comes with a 1mm PAD attached then no additional underlayment is required.
INSTALLATION TOOLS
• Safety Glasses, Tape Measure, Metal Framing Square, Rubber Hammer, 1/4" Spacers, Utility
Knife, Chalk line or pencil.
BEGINING INSTALLATION
• Decide which direction the planks will be installed. Sunlight entering direction is reccomended for
creating a sense of larger space.
• For a
best looking floor, it would be better to mix planks, pulling from different boxes.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE HYDROSTOP by DECO PRODUCTS™ SPC FLOORING - RIGID CORE LUXURY
VINYL PLANK
Be sure that all doors will swing open with enough clearance over the planks. Remove any existing
quarter round, shoe moldings and doorway transitions. Place wedged spacers for a 1/4" expansion
gap between the planks and the walls or other fixed objects. The spacers must be adjacent to each
plank joint, at the beginning and end of each row on the whole area.
