Laminate Flooring
VEGA FLOORING is suitable for rooms where traffic is normal, such as dining rooms, lounges, corridors...

VEGA FLOORING must be laid indoorson a clean, stable, flat, smooth and dry surface. Handle the packages carefully during transportation to avoid damaging the tonques and grooves. Laying damaged strips is not covered by warranty.

Store VEGA FLOORING flat for 48 hous, in it’s original packaging, at room temperature (15 to 30 degrees C and maximum of 75%RH), in the room in whichit is to be laid. Think of bying your skirting board today. There is a complete range of matching skirting board to go with VEGA FLOORING. Before laying the strips, you will usually need to provide two underlays (ask your stockist’s advice).

Tools required to lay the floor covering: Laying kit:
20 expansion joints + 1 crowbar + 1 block (for hammering)
1 set-square, 1 saw, 1 mallet.
 
Preparation
  The flatter the laying surface, the better the results you will obtain with VEGA FLOORING. To prevent the moisture rising on any concrete floor, a high density 0.2 mm polyethilene film should be placed on the laying surface, leaving 20 cm overlap at the joints. Leave expantion gaps (8 mm minimum) in the doorways and cover them with sill bars after laying. Put down the sill bars'base prof.
Special Cases
  Any difference in level of more than 5 mm over a lenght of 2 m should be evened out. When the surface area of a room is over 50 sqm or over 8 m in any direction the surface should be split into several parts, leaving expan-sion gaps that you could mask with sill bars.
   
Laying VEGA FLOORING

VEGA FLOORING is designed for glueless laying.
VEGA FLOORING must be laid as a "floating floor".

1. Check the squaring and alignment of the walls. If there is a problem with the squaring or alignment, trace out a cuttig line along the base of the wall, using a spacer on the first fitted row.

2. Laying starts off from a corner of the room, with the tongue sides facing the walls, placing expancion squares every 75 cm between the wall and flooring to leave a gap of 8 mm.

3. Cut the last panel of the first row. The next row shoud be staggered by at least 30 cm from the first row by using the cut-off. Once the first two rows have been laid, check the squaring and alignment again, using a line or a builder`s square. The panel should first be slotted together along the sides and then along the end. You can use a block or the taping bar provided for the areas that are more difficult to reach (block and taping bar included in the laying kit).

4. When you reach the final row, place a loose panel precisely on the last laid panel. Place another panel on top, but with it`s edge 8 mm from the wall. Trace a cutting line along the middle panel, saw it along the line.

5. Lay the panel you cut and ease it into position with the taping bar provided in the laying kit. Insert spacers between the wall and the last panel laid to be sure there is an 8 mm expansion gap.

6. To pass obstacles through the floor covering (pipes, radiator mount), use a pencil to trace the postion for drilling. Find the center then drill, using a big enough bit to leave 8 mm peripheral play. Cut the strip in two so that the saw mark goes through the center of the drilled hole, so that the strip can be reassembled around the pipe. If the obstacle is on the long side of the strip, cut it in a trapezoid shape, otherwise a straight cut would be the best.

The floor is ready for use as soon as it is laid.
   
GLUELESS INSTALLATION
 
 
 
FINISHING
  1. Remove the spacers. Cover the expansion joints around the flooring with skirting and/or quadrants. Fit theese products to the walls without glueing them to the floor.
2. FIt in the upper part of the sill bars to hide the expansion gaps.
3. Any remaining panels can be kept for several years, stored flat in a moi- sture-free area. Furniture can be put back in posion right away.
MAINTENANCE
  The manufacturer recommendes cleaning with a broom or a vacuum cleaner or with a cloth moistened with a small amount extremely diluted cleaning product. Stubborn stains should be removed using a cloth with a small quantity of acetone.
