1. SUB-FLOOR CONDITION

The sub-floor must be levelled to a tolerance of no more than 2 mm gap showing under a 1.5 m straight edge (UK: No more than a 3 mm gap showing under a 2 m straight edge).

The surface must be smooth with no roughness. Local irregularities, e.g. above day joints, must be levelled. 

2. INSTALLATION - FIRST ROW

The first row of panels are laid in a straight line with the metal bracket pointing in the laying direction.

The panels are joined at ends by using loose joining tongues (See the small drawing).

All the panels should be numbered on the back side or on the metal bracket, to ensure that they are correctly placed each time the floor is laid, so that line markings, etc. are aligned.

3. INSTALLATION, PANEL PATTERN

The panels are laid in an interlocking pattern so that all end joints are staggered 900 mm from row to row.

NB: The panels are pressed close together in lengthwise tongue and groove joints before they are pressed down into the metal bracket.

Panels without the metal bracket are used for the last row. 

4. TRANSITIONS RAMPS

The first and last row of panels, as well as the first and last panel in each row, are delivered with prefixed black painted transition ramps, and should be installed accordingly. 

5. FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION - CENTER ROW FLOOR PANELS

Centre Row panels are available on request with this floor type.

These panels come with metal brackets on each side and are laid out in the middle/centre of the floor as a starting row.

In this way two installation teams can work at the same time. 

6. DISMANTLING

Remove loose joining tongues using the removal hook, and dismantle the panels row by row starting with the last installed panel.

Carefully take up the panels and stack them in the storage carts. Panels are stacked face to face and back to back, and staggered 5 cm so that the battens support each other leaving no pressure on the foam.

Junckers storage cart stores 40 panels.
