LVP CLICK INSTALLATION GUIDE Page |2 GRADE LEVELS: Suspended: An acceptable suspended floor is a concrete or wood substrate with a minimum of 18” (460mm) of well-ventilated air space beneath it. The Manufacturer recommends that a moisture vapor barrier be placed on the ground below the air space. On-Grade: An acceptable on-grade floor is a concrete substrate in direct surface contact with the ground at the surrounding ground level.

STORAGE AND HANDLING: Acclimate the flooring a minimum of 48 hours before installation in the area it is to be installed. Conditions between 65°F and 85°F (18°C and 29°C) are required before, during and after installation. Cartons should be evenly stacked no more than two high on a flat surface and away from any heating/cooling ducts or direct sunlight. The floor must be clean, smooth, flat and dry.

The surface beneath the floor must be sufficiently prepared in advance to guarantee a successful installation of the flooring. • Fill any low spots in the subfloor greater than 3/16 inch in 10 foot span with a Portland cement leveling compound. • Ceramic tile and embossed flooring will require skim coating with a Portland based patch to avoid bottom up pattern telegraphing.

LVP CLICK INSTALLATION GUIDE Page |5 IMPORTANT: Maintain the 1⁄4 inch space around walls, cabinets, pipes, toilet flanges and any obstacle in the floor. Quarter round or baseboard molding will cover this expansion space. Make sure that you have a transition break every 45ft in either direction (100ft for Grand, Majestic, and Exquisite). Note that in doorways that are less than 6ft, use a t-molding. For plank installation, staggering the end joints a minimum of 6 inches is required.

During peak sunlight hours, the use of blinds or curtains is required. Prolonged direct sunlight can result in discoloration and volatile temperature variations causing damage to the floor, which is not covered by The Manufacturer.
