Before starting the installation, you must make adequate preparations. First, clean the ground thoroughly to ensure that the ground is clean and flat without any bumps or debris. Then, measure the dimensions of the room and figure out the number of floor blocks needed so that materials can be purchased and prepared in advance. In addition, it is necessary to check the quality and integrity of the floor and eliminate damaged or defective floors.

Second, floor adaptation

WPC flooring needs to be adapted before installation so that it is in balance with the ambient humidity. Pack the unopened floor in the area to be laid for at least two days. This allows the floor to expand or contract in response to changes in ambient humidity, thereby avoiding future cracking or warping problems.

In general, flooring along the longest wall can make a room appear more spacious. Second, make sure the gap between the floor plates matches the thickness of the floor. This prevents the floor from becoming deformed when damp or heated. Finally, tools such as rubber mallets and mounting tools are used during the installation process to ensure that the connection between the floor plates is firm and tight.

Fourth, Moisture-proof and mildew proof

The mixed material of wood-plastic flooring makes it have certain moisture-proof and mildew proof properties. In order to further increase the service life of the floor, the following measures need to be taken during installation. Firstly, clean the floor and apply a moisture-proof film to reduce the exchange of moisture between the floor and the ground. Secondly, apply the appropriate sealant to the seams of the floor to prevent the most water penetration. After that, keep the room ventilated and use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to control the humidity in the wet season.

Fifth, floor maintenance
