If for some reason you have to switch the underfloor heating off, you must carry out the above process in reverse. Switch off or lower the underfloor heating to 15°C at least 48 hours before installation and keep it at that temperature during installation. 24 hours after installation, increase the temperature of the underfloor heating gradually by 5°C each day up to a maximum floor temperature of 27°C. Do notexceed 60W/m² with electrical underfloor heating systems . When installing planks, always ensure that the short end joints are staggered by a minimum of 30 cm when you start the next row. Use the left-over piece from the previous row as the first piece of the next row provided that this piece is at least 30 cm long.

You will not cut all the way through so just snap it to get a clean cut as shown. Improper maintenance -Maintenance must be in strict accordance with LiViTLVT maintenance instructions. Don't forget to allow the same expansion gap around pipes and columns. The easiest way to drill the holes in the floor for radiator pipes is shown in the diagrams above. Line up the floor so that the header joint between two boards is in line with the pipe, join the boards together and mark where the hole should be. Drill the hole, take the boards apart and then slot them together around the pipe. You can then use a radiator pipe coverto cover up the expansion gap. This floor has an almost shabby chic look to it but don't be fooled by appearances - it's got oodles of character! Where the existing skirting boards have been left in place and you've left the correct expansion gap between the skirting and the floor, you'll need the use a scotia beading to cover the gap.

Normal variances - Exposure of all or parts of the installed flooring to direct sunlight may cause variations in colour and such variations are not covered by this warranty The expansion gap should be 15mm at the very most. If the room is any more than 15 metres, you must then use an expansion profile. Bear in mind when running the floor from one room to another through a doorway, to measure the total length of the run of the floor and if that exceeds 15 metres, you must use an expansion profile across the door.

Draw a line connecting all the measurement marks, cut the board along the line you've marked and then snap in two as shown in the video above.

It is vitally important to leave an expansion gap around the edge of the room and around any radiator pipes, columns or door thresholds. This expansion gap should be at least 8mm on all sides and increase 1mm for every metre over 8 metres - e.g. if the room measures 15 metres x 15 metres, the expansion gap should be 15mm.

The first and last rows should not be less than 5 cm wide, so measure the room to create a balanced layout and you will then be able to see if the first row needs to be cut to width. If the first row of panels does not need to be trimmed in width, you must remove the tongue on the side of the board that faces the wall to allow for the correct expansion gap.

When installing tiles, always ensure that the short end joints are staggered by a minimum of 20 cm when you start the next row. Use the leftover piece from the previous row as the first piece of the next row, provided that this piece is at least 20 cm long. To get the correct tile effect on your floor, make sure that the end joints are staggered equidistantly from the end joints in the previous row.
