Installation & Assembly

− In places where it is too difficult to install the Uniclic® planks with the tapping block (e.g. against the wall), you can tap them to-
gether using the pull bar and a hammer. (See diagrams 5A – 5B - 5C.)
− There must be an 8 to 10mm (5/16" to 3/8”) expansion joint between the last row and the wall. Keep this in mind when sawing
the last row of panels.
Pipes
In rows where there is a pipe, make sure the pipe falls exactly in line with the short side of two panels. Take a drill bit with the same
diameter as the pipe plus 20mm (3/4”) for the expansion. Click the panels together on the short side and drill a hole in the center of
the joint between the two panels. Now you can install the panels in the floor. (See diagrams 6A-6B-6C.)
Under doorframes
When sawing the panels, ensure that the expansion joint under the door is at least 10mm (3/8”). If you cannot lift the panel, use an
adapted tapping block or pull bar and hammer to tap the panels 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.
− For a perfect finish around pipes, use rosettes or caulking.
− In places where profiles or skirting cannot be placed, fill expansion gaps with caulking. (See diagram 8A.)
Precautions
− Protect furniture and chair legs with proper felt or plastic caps.
− Avoid bringing dirt, water and sand indoors by providing a suitable floor mat at the door.
− Use (office) chairs and seats with soft wheels that are suitable for a laminate floor and/or use a suitable desk 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 never retains dirt or dust.
− Never use wax or varnish coating on the floor.
− For dry maintenance, we recommend using a Quick·Step® duster (flipper) or vacuum cleaner.
− For slightly damp maintenance, we recommend using Quick·Step® Quick Clean, which you spray diluted with water (see instructions)
on the Quick·Step® duster. The use of other cleaning products might damage your floor. Always wipe dry immediately until no more
moisture is visible on the floor. We strongly recommend dry cleaning only for beveled edge products.
− Wet maintenance is absolutely forbidden. Remove any water immediately. Uniclic® panels are not suitable for use in damp spaces like
saunas.
− To remove stubborn stains carefully, we recommend using Quick·Step® Force or acetone based fingernail polish remover. Never use
scouring products!
− In case your floor needs repair, Quick-Step has a tool called Unifix, which allows the damaged floor plank to be easily removed in min-
utes 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 be available for use in the repair."
