Installation Instructions

approximately 1mm (1/32”) from the edge of the flooring. Then fill the expansion area with sealant, remove any excess
with a plastic scraper or putty knife, then remove the tape. Let dry for 24 hours before exposure to water.
PIPES
In rows where there is a pipe, make sure the pipe falls exactly in line with the short side of two planks. Take a drill bit
with the same diameter as the pipe plus 20 mm (3/4”) for the expansion. Click the planks together on the short side and
drill a hole centered on the joint between the two planks. Now you can install the planks in the floor. See diagrams 6A-
6B-6C.
UNDER DOORFRAMES
When sawing the planks, ensure that the expansion joint under the door is at least 10 mm (3/8”). If you cannot lift the
plank, use an adapted tapping block or pull bar and hammer to tap the planks together with the planks flat on the floor.
See diagrams 7A-7B.
FINISHING
• Remove all spacers.
• Install the molding on the plastic membrane that runs up the wall from under the floor. Never attach the molding to the
floor. This method allows the floor to expand and contract under the molding. (See diagram 8A.)
• For a perfect finish around pipes, use rosettes or flexible silicone caulking.
• In places where profiles or skirting cannot be placed, fill expansion gaps with flexible silicone caulking.
PRECAUTIONS
• Protect furniture and chair legs with proper felt or rubber caps.
• Avoid bringing dirt, water and sand indoors by providing a suitable solid backed floor mat at the door.
• Furniture on casters/wheels must use soft, rubber wheels that are suitable for a laminate floor and/or use a suitable
protective mat.
• Ensure that humidity in the room is always at least 50%. Use a humidifier if you need to.
MAINTENANCE
• The smooth surface of your laminate means it is virtually maintenance free.
• Never use wax, polish, oils, soaps, detergents, shine enhancers, or varnish on the floor.
• For dry maintenance, we recommend a dust mop or vacuum cleaner with soft bristle brush only.
• For slightly damp maintenance, we recommend a laminate cleaner which you spray directly and lightly on a duster.
Always wipe dry immediately until no more moisture is visible on the floor. The use of other cleaning products might
damage your floor. For bevel edge products, we strongly recommend dry cleaning only.
• Do not use any type of cleaning machine such as spray mops, steam cleaners/ mops or power cleaners.
• Wet maintenance is absolutely forbidden. Remove any water immediately. Uniclic® planks are not suitable for use in
damp spaces like saunas.
• Remove stubborn stains carefully with acetone based fingernail polish remover. Never use scouring products!
• In case your floor needs repair, a tool is available called Unifix which allows the damaged floor plank to be easily
removed in minutes without replacing the entire floor. For Unifix to work properly the required expansion gap must be
in place around the room’s perimeter and extra flooring should be available for use in the repair. Enjoy your floor.
ATTN: INSTALLERS Caution: Wood Dust
Sawing, sanding and machining wood products can produce wood dust. Airborne wood dust can cause respiratory, skin
and eye irritation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified wood dust as a nasal
carcinogen in humans.
Precautionary Measures: Power tools should be equipped with a dust collector. If high dust levels are encountered use
an appropriate NIOSH designated dust mask. Avoid dust contact with skin and eyes. First Aid Measures in case of
irritations: In case of irritation flush eyes and skin with water for at least 15 minutes. For questions please contact
