Installing SPC floors usually involves the following steps:
1.Preparation:
Make sure that the floor surface in the installation area is flat, dry, clean, and free of any dust, debris, or other debris.
Inspect the floor for any damage or imperfections and repair them before installation.
Calculate and purchase enough SPC flooring material to cover the entire installation area, with some extra material set aside for cutting and finishing.
For best results, allow the SPC flooring material to acclimatize to the temperature and humidity in the area where it will be installed, which typically requires several days in the area where it will be installed.
2.Installation tools and materials:
SPC floor material
Measuring tool (tape measure or gauge)
Saws (example: chainsaw or handsaw)
pencil or marker
scissors or cutting knife
hammer
Mounting glue (optional)
Installation aids (example: rubber mallet, caster tool, mounting strips, etc.)
3.Installation process:
Use a measuring tool to measure the length and width of the installation area and record these dimensions.
Depending on the size and shape of the installation area, determine the first floor board to cut from the SPC floor board.
Use a saw to cut the first floor board to size and make sure the edges are flat.
Place the first floor board at one end of the installation area and use a pencil or marker to mark where the next board should be placed.
Apply installation glue (if necessary) to the joined edges of the floor panels, then attach the next floor panel to the one already installed.
Use a hammer to lightly tap the joints of the floor boards to make sure they are tight.
Repeat the above steps to gradually install the entire floor area, ensuring that the joints between the floor panels are tight and even.
If cutting is required during installation, use a saw, scissors or cutting knife to cut the floor panels to the desired shape and size.
After the installation is complete, use an installation aid such as a rubber mallet to flatten the entire floor surface to ensure that all floor panels are firmly seated on the ground.
Note that this is only an overview of general SPC floor installation methods, and specific installation steps may vary by make, model, or manufacturer’s recommendations. It is strongly recommended to carefully read the installation guide of the SPC floor purchased before installation, and follow the specific instructions provided by it for installation.
