PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Before installing your Novera Flooring, it is crucial to prepare the environment properly to ensure long-term performance and warranty protection

Acclimation

Laminate flooring must be acclimated to the room temperature and humidity levels before installation to prevent expansion or contraction after installation.

  • Keep the flooring inside the room where it will be installed for at least 48 hours before installation
  • Maintain an indoor temperature of 18-24°C (65-75°F) and humidity between 45-65%.

A well-prepared subfloor is essential for a successful installation. Ensure the following:

  • Cleanliness: The subfloor should be free of dust, dirt, debris, and any adhesive residues.
  • Dryness: Moisture content should be below 2% for cement subfloors and below 12% for wooden subfloors.
  • Flatness: The subfloor should be level with a maximum unevenness of 2mm per 1m (1/16 inch per 3 feet).
  • Structural Integrity: The subfloor should be firm and stable.

If installing over concrete, ceramic tiles, or stone, you must use a 6-mil polyethylene moisture barrier to prevent moisture damage.

If installing over wooden subfloors, a moisture barrier is not required, but underlayment is recommended for sound absorption and comfort.

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Install the Underlayment (If Required)

  • Roll out the underlayment in the same direction you will install the planks
  • Overlap seams by 2 inches and secure with tape.

Step 2: Click-Lock Mechanism

  • Insert the next plank at a 30-degree angle into the previous plank’s groove
  • Gently press down until it clicks into place.
  • Use a rubber mallet and tapping block if necessary.

Step 3: Cut the Final Row

  • Measure and cut the last row to fit, ensuring an expansion gap of 10-12mm (3/8-1/2 inch).

Step 4: Plan the Layout

  • Determine the direction of installation (parallel to the longest wall or the main light source).
  • Calculate the number of planks per row and adjust to avoid a very narrow last row.

Step 5: Install the First Row

  • Place the first plank with the tongue side facing the wall.
  • Use spacers to maintain a 10-12mm (3/8-1/2 inch) expansion gap along walls.

Step 6: Stagger the Joints

  • Always stagger joints by at least 30cm (12 inches) to ensure a stable structure.
  • Avoid H-pattern or stair-step layouts, as they weaken the flooring.

Step 7: Install Transitions & Baseboards

  • Secure moldings, trims, and transition strips without nailing through the laminate to allow for movement.
