Start from the left corner of the
room, having the tongue clinging
to the wall, foreseeing to leave a
perimetral space at least 8 mm,
using spacers (do not fill with
silicone, wires, etc.).
Fix using the tongue-and-groove
method.
Raise along the side of the plank
and cling to it.
For a better visual result, stagger
the planks by 1/3 of their length.
On the perimeter, avoid cuts that
are less than 25 cm long and 10 cm
wide.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
Planks must be preferably oriented in the direction of the light that
gets into the room.
• How to make cuts along edges. Make the cut taking 2 planks.
Place the first plank A over the last entire plank that has been
laid. Rest the second plank B in such a way that it touches the
wall. Use plank B as if it was a ruler to cut plank A. Lay the blade.
This procedure must always be applied for cuts along edges.
• Finishesinbathroomsandsanitaryappliances.Sealtheperimeter
edges near the sanitary appliances with suitable anti-mould
silicone or rubber cement that guarantees perfect sealing.
MAINTENANCE
• Precautions for use. Apply felt pads below the legs of furniture
or below heavy objects. Protect the planks from direct heat
sources such as stoves and chimneys. Dyed rubber-based
and castors (castor chairs, tables etc.) may indelible stain the
flooring.
• Floor cleaning. Vacuum cleaner or wet cloth. Use only Detergent
Evo of Virag. Difficult stains: dilute bleach, alcohol or lemon juice.
Ink, tomato, mustard, blood, beet, mercurochrome stains: leave
diluted bleach on for some minutes without scrubbing. Rinse
abundantly. Rust: clean with a rust preserver for fabrics and
rinse abundantly. Grease, ink and felt-tip pen: scrub slightly with
a piece of cloth soaked in alcohol. Rinse abundantly.
• Precautions for maintenance. Absolutely avoid using
acetone and chlorinated solvents (e.g. trichloroethylene).
• Replacement of planks. Cut a corner of the plank to be replaced,
Leave a distance of 8 mm on
remove the plank by pulling from such corner, lay a new plank
the entire room perimeter and
inserting first of all the tongues under the other planks, and
from every obstacle that could
compromise the laying movement.
Once the laying is completed,
remove all spacers and place
proper skirting board. Do not fix the
skirting board on the floor.
then fit it into place.
• Please note. The possible spacing of the joints between the
planks is a natural phenomenon caused by the product ageing
and does not require any intervention.
