Before you begin

A smooth installation starts with the right preparation.

Temperature matters: Keep the room and flooring between +18°C and +25°C for at least 24 hours before installation.

Subfloor check: Kährs Luxury Tiles work over most clean, dry, solid, and level surfaces. Just remove any carpets or similar coverings.

Moisture watch: For concrete subfloors, make sure the relative humidity stays below 85%.

Underfloor heating care: If gluing down over underfloor heating, switch the system off during installation and drying. Afterward, turn the heat back on slowly to avoid damage.

Follow these steps for a floor that’s built to last—beautiful, stable, and ready for life.

Quick tips

Examine

Start by measuring your space. Estimate how many floorboards you’ll need across the width, making sure the last row on each side is at least 50 mm wide for a balanced look. Always inspect the boards before installation to check for any damage.

Laying floorboards

Install floorboards lengthwise to complement the room’s shape. For Click vinyl floors, leave a 10 mm expansion gap around the edges to let the floor move naturally. Avoid placing heavy fixed furniture that could restrict this flexibility.

Gluing the floor

If you’re installing a Kährs Dry Back floor, use Kährs-approved adhesive and follow industry best practices. If unsure consult with a professional flooring installer.
