🔍 Explanation of the most common mistakes

0:40 Vinyl flooring not acclimated
The new flooring must adjust to the room’s climatic conditions. Whether due to lack of knowledge or time constraints, failing to do this often results in floor deformation.

1:34 Subfloor not properly prepared
Whether it’s new or old screed, old tiles, or another existing floor covering, the subfloor must be suitable for the new flooring. Proper flatness and stability are key factors that are often overlooked.

2:43 Installation instructions not followed
The enclosed installation guide is essential for your flooring. It should be included in the packaging. If you follow all the points, you will have no problems.

4:04 Incorrect impact sound insulation used
There are various reasons why the wrong underlay is used for vinyl flooring. Often, people say, “I already had impact sound insulation! I bought a cheap one on sale! The package says it’s suitable for vinyl!”
Please follow only the manufacturer’s recommendations. Otherwise, the warranty will be void if the wrong underlay, for example, leads to open joints.

4:56 Insufficient edge distance
Click vinyl flooring is installed as a floating floor. Therefore, enough distance must be maintained from all fixed components. If this is not the case, the floor cannot expand properly and may start to buckle.

5:53 First row not properly aligned
Admittedly, the first row is tricky. You need to work very precisely to ensure the click connection locks correctly, the line is maintained, and the connections don’t separate when adding new planks.
Installation wedges can help with fixation during installation. Mistakes in the first rows will affect the entire floor surface.

9:53 Offset between rows
The click connection should be sufficiently staggered between the planks. If the offset is too small, not only does it look bad, but the connection also won’t be able to absorb expansion and contraction forces properly. The result: joint formation.

10:55 Expansion joints
A common installation mistake is failing to include expansion joints or making them insufficient. If expansion joints are missing, bumps, bulges, gaps, or broken click connections may appear.

11:48 Excessive point load
The load on an elastic floor must not be so high at certain points that it restricts the floor’s movement. Fixed kitchens on click vinyl are the most common cases where the floor is no longer able to expand properly. This results in gaps forming between planks.

13:10 Floor fixation without round cord
Silicone is often used to seal a floor at the edges. If silicone is simply injected into the gaps, it fixes the floor in place. A round cord can help here, as it prevents the silicone from bonding at three points.
