SPC PLANK AND TILE FLOORING

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Product Description: SPC Plank and Tile Flooring

Grade Levels: Above Grade / On Grade / Below Grade

Installation Method: Floating - Drop and Lock

SPC Flooring is intended for interior use only and is suitable for above

grade, on grade, and below grade applications. DO NOT install in any

outside areas, saunas, seasonal porches, camping trailers, boats,

RVs, lanais, rooms that are prone to ﬂooding, or homes that are not

temperature-controlled.

SPC Flooring is a ﬂoating ﬂoor and should be allowed to expand and

contract freely. It must not be glued, nailed, or fastened to the subﬂoor in

any way. Permanent cabinets, vanities, islands and similar items should

be installed ﬁrst. Then, install SPC Flooring around them, leaving the

proper expansion gap. SPC Flooring can be installed under vanities with

legs. SPC Flooring can be installed under toilets; leave proper expansion

space around ﬂange and use a premium waterproof 100% silicone caulk.

Do not anchor toilet through the material.

SPC Flooring is a waterproof ﬂoating ﬂoor, but it should not be used to

seal an existing ﬂoor from moisture. It cannot inhibit the growth of mold

or prevent structural problems associated with, or caused by ﬂooding,

excessive moisture, alkalis in the subﬂoor, or conditions arising from

hydrostatic pressure. Regardless of location, always remove standing

water, urine and other liquids promptly. Job site moisture issues should

be addressed and corrected prior to installation. Fill expansion spaces

around potential wet areas only with premium waterproof 100% silicone

caulk.

Protect SPC Flooring from exposure to direct sunlight via the use of

window-treatments or UV-tinting on windows.

SPC Flooring is not recommended for areas subject to heavy rolling loads.

If the ﬂooring is to be installed by a third party, then it is suggested

that the homeowner be present during the installation for consultation/

direction. The owner and installer should discuss installation and layout

to maximize satisfaction. If this is not possible, consultation should occur

prior to installation. The owner/installer assumes all responsibility for

quality of completed installation.
