After the subsoil is properly prepared, first place the PE lamina as steam closing (not in case of wood floors). The plastic lamina must be overlapped in a minimum width of 20-30 cm, and next to the walls it must be bent upwards to a height of 5-10 cm. Once this operation is done, place the intermediate layer of your election.
Start at the left corner of the room, and place the elements in such a way that the tongue-piece side is oriented towards the wall. Be careful to maintain a lateral distance of 10mm with respect to the wall.
With the remaining piece of the first row the following one will begin. Consider that the frontal unions must be moved at least 30 cm from the previous row.
Place the first element of the second row in the groove of the elements already installed. Take the following one, insert it in angle at the front side in the element that is already flat on the ground directing it as close as possible to the longitudinal side of the row that is in its original position.
Now take with both hands the element just installed and raise it slightly (with this movement the adjacent element will also rise slightly). Now block the longitudinal side joining the elements for this, it is advisable to stand on the placed surface. When thereīs no hollow between the elements, this means that the union is correctly closed and the element can be deposited in the floor totally flat.
In case it is still hollow between the two panels, repeat the previous operation, but exerting greater pressure or verify the previous row. This technique will be applied the positioning of all the remaining row and the rest of the surface. The last element of the row adjusts as follows: Rotate it of so that the side of the groove leans against the groove of the previous element, and the frontal part of the element maintains an interval or 10mm. with the wall. Cut now the element with the saw to the wished length. You can immobilize the element with the help of a pull bar. The frames of the existing doors can be shortened. Take care of leaving enough distance for expansion, a minimum of 10 mm. underneath the frame of the door. If it is not possible to introduce the element underneath the necessary angle of blockade, thighten to each other flattening them. If the frames of the door have not been cut, you will have to leave a expansion joint of 10 mm minimum between the laminated floor and the frame of the door.
