2. Do I need to leave expansion joints when installing SPC flooring?
Absolutely. It is recommended to leave 8 - 10mm expansion joints against the wall. For large - area paving, additional expansion joints should be set to prevent the floor from bulging.
3. What should I pay attention to about the ground before installation?
The ground must be flat with a height difference ≤ 3mm within 2m. Besides, clean up all debris thoroughly. Uneven or dirty ground will damage the locks.
4. Can SPC flooring be cleaned with a steam mop?
No. High temperature from steam mops will damage the surface structure of SPC flooring. Just clean it with a dry cloth or a slightly damp mop.
5. Why does SPC flooring feel cold and hard when stepped on?
Its main component is stone plastic, so the foot feel is similar to tiles. You can lay foam pads to relieve this discomfort.
