How to install Explora SPC click vinyl flooring

To install plank Explora SPC click vinyl flooring, follow these steps:

1. Begin by ensuring that the subfloor is completely flat and free from any debris to ensure a straight-forward installation process.
2. Acclimate the Explora vinyl flooring to the room by laying the unopened boxes flat on the floor for at least 48 hours before installation.
3. Measure the room and plan the layout.
4. Begin laying the planks by inserting the long side tongue into the groove of the plank in the first row at a 20-30 degree angle. Lower the plank and apply pressure until it clicks into place.
5. For subsequent planks, align the short end first, then the long end. Ensure that the planks are snug against one another with no gaps.
6. When fitting around corners and obstacles, measure and mark the plank, then cut using a vinyl cutter or a fine-tooth saw.
7. Once you reach the last row, measure and cut the planks to fit. Remember to leave a small expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to allow for natural expansion and contraction of the flooring.
8. Lastly, install baseboards, trim or transitions according to the manufacturer’s instructions to complete the installation and achieve a professional finish.
