Note for installing click-lock stone-look vinyl flooring
For click-lock vinyl flooring, you do not need to use adhesive. Instead, lay an additional 1-2mm thick foam underlayment under the flooring planks. This foam layer makes the floor quieter underfoot and prevents moisture from rising from the substrate.
The final step to complete the installation of stone-look vinyl flooring is to clean the entire floor surface again with a soft damp cloth to clean and remove any remaining excess adhesive or dirt. Do not use strong cleaning chemicals to avoid scratching or damaging the floor surface.
If the flooring planks have a protective nylon layer, you need to peel it off to reveal the beautiful, glossy stone pattern.
Check the joint areas to ensure there are no gaps or unevenness. If necessary, use skirting boards or white silicone adhesive to fill the seams and create a seamless look.
Allow the floor to dry and stabilize for at least 24-48 hours before use to ensure proper adhesive bonding.
