Care and Maintenance
Rigid Core Vinyl SPC Flooring
• Avoid localized exposure to heat from fireplace or other heat sources.
• Use protective mats beneath rolling chairs.
• Keep furniture casters clean.
• Minimize or avoid constant impact from rolling motions. Especially from rolling heavy objects.
• Keep pet dog or cat’s nails trimmed.
• Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or exceptionally pointy heels before walking on the floor.
CLIMATE MAINTENANCE:
• Care should be taken to control temperature. Extreme temperature changes may result in
unacceptable thermal expansion or contraction. Temperature range is -25°F to 155°F and relative
humidity (RH) of 40%-60%.
• Avoid direct localized exposure to sunlight. It will cause the floor to expand and resulting in
irreversible edge peaking.
• Exposure to cold air can cause it to contract resulting in gaps between the planks.
• Use shades or blinds to reduce heat due to sunlight.
• Deflect hot air from heat register or fireplace.
• Do not expose to the core to alkaline or basic or alkaline liquids, like caustic solution. It will affect
the rigid core.
FLOOR REPAIR:
• Very light and small surface scratches can be repaired with a staining “touch up” pen of the
appropriate color.
• Very deep scratches may require the replacement of the planks.
