The high-quality workmanship and the diverse installation options ensure that the installation of a 3-layer parquet or parquet floor is successful.

Floating installation with click connection

1. Insulation
Place suitable impact sound insulation over the entire surface, without joints and without overlapping, on the clean, ready-to-lay subfloor. The installation is carried out floating, the planks are locked without glue.
2. Start

Start laying in the left corner of the room with the tongue side facing the wall. The exact wall distance is set after laying the first three rows.

3. Snap
Insert the second plank from above into the first and press it down until the lock clicks into place. Make sure the alignment is straight throughout. Lay the entire first row accordingly.
4. Cropping
The last plank of the first row must be cut taking into account the required edge distance (10 – 15 mm). Start the second row with the remaining piece from the first row. The forehead offset must not be less than 50 cm.
5. Angle in
Angle the next plank lengthways and push it towards the already lying plank. Fold the board down with light pressure until the front side locks audibly. Then press the front edges again to ensure a secure connection.
6. Align
After laying the first three rows, the floor is precisely aligned. Use spacer wedges to maintain a circumferential edge distance of 10 to 15 mm.
7. Customize
If the wall runs are uneven, the first row of planks must be adjusted accordingly. Transfer the wall contour to the floorboards and cut them to fit precisely. The minimum width of the first row must not be less than 50 mm. The end joints must be glued, then the row must be wedged again.
8. Recess
For heating pipes, drill holes with a diameter of at least 20 mm larger than the pipe. Cut the plank as shown in the illustration, insert it and glue the sawn-out piece back on. Make covers with pipe sleeves. Door frames may need to be sawn off using a plank as a height measure.
9. Conclusion
The last row of planks is cut to size while maintaining the edge distance and connected to the second to last row. The minimum width is 50 mm. Skirting boards can then be installed. Transitions to adjacent rooms must be made with suitable transition or end rails.
10. Alternative
Laying is possible from both directions if necessary. Floorboards can be picked up again without any problem. If it is not possible to angle it (e.g. under door frames or radiators), the locking lug must be removed, white glue applied and the plank inserted horizontally.
11. Dismantling
Dismantling is carried out by lifting the entire row of boards and gently tapping along the longitudinal connection to unlock them. The forehead connection is released by moving it horizontally (do not lift it).

Full-surface bonding

We recommend having the full-surface bonding of parquet carried out by a specialist company. If you are installing the floor yourself, it is important to follow the instructions for preparing the installation and the following installation tips.

Depending on the nature of the subfloor, pre-treatments such as priming or filling may be required in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The screed must have sufficient strength. Only adhesives that are expressly approved for full-surface bonding of finished parquet may be used. Low-emission adhesives with an eco-label type I or EMICODE EC1 or equivalent classification are recommended. The processing guidelines of the respective adhesive manufacturer must be strictly adhered to.

1. Align
Laying begins in the left corner of the room. The first row of planks is aligned exactly with the groove side towards the wall. For larger distances, the alignment must be checked using a guide line. A circumferential distance from the wall of approx. 10 mm must be maintained.
2. Apply
The adhesive should only be applied to the area to be covered using a suitable notched trowel according to the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines. The open time of the adhesive must not be exceeded.
3. Insert
The parquet is placed in the adhesive bed and pressed evenly to ensure complete wetting. Any adhesive residue on the surface must be removed immediately.
For further installation, please follow the installation instructions for the click connection, see “Floating installation”.
4. Curing
The last plank of the first row must be cut taking into account the required edge distance (10 – 15 mm). Start the second row with the remaining piece from the first row. The forehead offset must not be less than 50 cm.
5. Spare
Angle the next plank lengthways and push it towards the already lying plank. Fold the board down with light pressure until the front side locks audibly. Then press the front edges again to ensure a secure connection.
