Store laminate flooring only in dry and well ventilated room placed at least one foot from nearest wall. Do not stack higher than 5 boxes high. Let boxes acclimate 48 prior to installation. The recommended room temperature for installation is 18 to 22Cº. The recommended humidity is from 50% to 70%. Every panel should be checked visually for damage or defects before installation. As with most laminate floors, this product is “Moisture Resistant”, not Waterproof or Water Resistant. It should never be used in a bathroom or sauna. DecalFloors recognizes that this product will be installed in kitchens and powder rooms, but proper installation techniques must be maintained for any claims to be honoured. The shortest piece used should never be less than 12″ long, and short seams must not be located within 12” of each other.
