5 What is laminate and how is it made? OVERLAY CORE BOARD utes ct s stance tance It ensures a hygienic floor: ease of cleaning non-proliferation of germs & bacteria The embossing of the overlay gives the flooring its surface appearance, from simple textured surfaces to highly sophisticated effects. d oard: to MECHANICAL LOCKING SYSTEM BALANCING LAYER DECORATIVE LAYER he isture tees ty All those layers are pressed together under high pressure and at high temperature, in a single operation. The technology used is called Direct Pressed Laminate or DPL. This process is registered in a European norm (13329) that sets all the criteria and tests that must be satisfied for a floor to be classified as laminate and will last to give years of pleasure. 5

9 Unique results Tarkett Aquastyle gives results that are unique among the competition. How does water threaten your laminate floor? Through its joints! It could penetrate them and make the boards expand at the edges. Thanks to MRTech, Aquastyle 832 resists water ingress and hence expansion. Stringent testing has demonstrated that Tarkett Aquastyle solution results in 50% less expansion than its competitors average. Without MRTech T-joint test: measurement of the expansion of boards at the joints 1 hour after treatment With MRTech Competitors average Tarkett MRTech 0,045 mm 0,020 mm INTENSIVE TESTING Tests in real-life conditions 4 steps: 1. Standard cleaning 2. Getting out of the shower/spills from the shower 3. Cleaning with warm water, common/non-specialised cleaner 4. Partly-standing water (<1 hr) test measurement: height difference & visual appearance Laboratory T-joint tests Method: pouring water and soap on a floor sample built in a T shape to test the joints resistance Test measurement: the T-joint test measures the expansion of boards at the joints 1 hour after pouring water on the floor Unique benefits compared with plastic-based products Aquastyle 832 is environmentally-friendly: our laminate products are made of 84% natural, renewable materials from carefully-managed forests Aquastyle 832 is a more resistant product: best abrasion-resistance, impact-resistance, stain-resistance and cigarette-burn resistance Aquastyle 832 gives a wood-like touch, both in design and feeling. 9

11 Innovative flooring resistance In very stressed rooms like kids rooms or the kitchen, the floor needs to be more resistant to maintain its original look and structure. It has to bear more impacts, potentially located repeatedly in the same area, around the kitchen worktop for example. Tarkett laminate now offer an increased impact-resistant flooring solution. How? A new formula for the HDF board (mixture of different types of timber) gives greater resistance to the board and hence to the overall boarding. HIGH IMPACT-RESISTANCE big and small Laminate has st in accordance hat our new board an the norm s Big ball test in accordance with EN g Tarkett laminate gives acoustic comfort Tarkett offers solutions to bring acoustic comfort to your homes. There are two types of irritating noise: drum sounds and transmission sounds. Choose between our two options to absorb and muffle these sounds: products with an integral 2.2 mm underlay (Soundlogic products) or a 3 mm separated foam to lay underneath the laminate (Soundblock foam more info on page 41) and keep noise out of your living areas! Drum sounds (also called room sounds, emitted sounds, resonating sounds or reflected sounds) are generally defined as the perceived level of airborne sound inside a room produced by walking persons, falling toys or other impact sources. Reduction of loudness of drum sound is measured in comparison with a standard laminate flooring. The test results are expressed as a % (reduction value), and professionals also classify those values into SL groups. The higher the SL results or percentage, the better. Transmission sound is produced by walking over a floor and is transmitted through the structure s floor to the room below. Impact sound transmission of laminate flooring is measured using a tapping hammer placed on the floor. The results are expressed as db, generally describing the difference between the noise level in the room below when with and when without the laminate floor. The higher this value, the lower the noise level in the room below the floor. Drum sound reduction [measured in accordance with lab standard IHD-W 431] Transmission sound reduction (db) [measured in accordance with norm EN ISO 140-8] Soundlogic Soundblockfoam 7mm 22.8 % - SL mm 16.2 % - SL mm 8.8 % - SL mm 14.0 % - SL

When sound passes through Soundlogic extruded thermoplastic structure, it is forced to change directions many times and travel great distances before it passes completely through. The sub floor will act as a reflective surface underneath. As a consequence, not only does Soundlogic dense structure dampen ambient sound in the room it s installed in, but it also inhibits sound greatly from travelling into the room below. 41

42 All you need to know to instal and live your floor! Before installation: room preparation Acclimatising Allow your flooring to adjust to the temperature of the room in which it is to be installed. The packaged flooring should be placed in the room for a minimum of 48 hours prior to installation. Direction While your floor is acclimating, take the opportunity to set the direction of installation! Always take into account the light source and the main direction from which the floor will be viewed. Tarkett recommend laying panels lengthways in accordance with the main viewing direction and main source of light. Floor preparation A few simple checks must be carried out before you can actually start installing your floor! The sub-floor must be dry. The sub-floor must be even. Irregularities >3 mm/m or 2 mm over 2m must be levelled out accordingly. The sub-floor must be firm, robust and clean. More info on the installation instructions inside your laminate boxes! What you need to know about under-floor heating & laminate Laminate flooring is suitable for installation above under-floor heating systems, provided that the heating element is embedded in concrete or another sub-floor. Laminate flooring is not suitable for installation above under-floor heating foil installed above concrete or any other sub-floor, unless otherwise specified by the under-floor heating manufacturer. Laminate flooring surface temperature should never exceed 28 C. Laminate flooring can be installed on low-temperature water-based under-floor heating systems with a maximum 28 C surface temperature. Standard electrical underfloor heating foil systems can generally reach a surface temperature of more than 28 C when turned up to maximum operating temperature, which is not compatible with laminate flooring. If you are using an electrical under-floor heating system, make sure you have a self-regulating system in order never to exceed 28 C. 42

43 After installation Maintenance Cleaning So easy! Regular cleaning: vacuum and dry-mop. Occasional cleaning: if needed, you can damp-mop your flooring every 2 weeks. Use a cleaning solution suited to laminates, rinse the mop thoroughly, and dry-mop your floor when finished. Stains! Remove stains, spots, etc. as they occur. Rub the stain with a clean, dry mop moistened with a dedicated cleaning agent. Never spray any cleaning agent directly onto the floor. When using a solvent or concentrated cleaning solution, read the safety advice carefully! Rubber, plastic, heel marks Rub the mark with a dry cloth. Use acetone if needed. Once dry, brush it off with a white nylon pad. Urine, blood Wipe the stain with a slightly damp cloth. If dry, rub it down with a dry nylon pad. Nail-varnish, shoe polish, paint, ink, felt pen, lipstick Remove with a cloth soaked in acetone, nail-tar varnish solvent, paint-thinner or vinegar essence. Fruit, milk, beer Remove with an absorbent dry cloth. If dry, wipe down with a dedicated cleaning solution, then wipe dry. Candle wax, chewing gum Once hardened, these should be removed with a blunt plastic scraper. Prevention always helps! Place door-mats and foot brushes at all exterior doorway entrances. Fix felt protectors under furniture legs. Disposal? Recycling? You can dispose of your laminate flooring in normal household waste, or disposal waste for large quantities. Laminate flooring can be reused or recycled as an energy source. 43

44 Tips and tricks for installation Installation basics Laminate flooring should always be laid as a floating floor (i.e. the boards should never be fixed to the sub-floor in any way). Boards should be staggered by a minimum of 300 mm and should always have a length > 30 cm. Allow for an expansion gap of 8-10 mm between the flooring and any fixtures (walls, pipes, door-stops, etc). In corridors and rooms longer and/or wider than 10 metres, expansion provision should be allowed for and covered with a matching transition profile. Before installing laminate flooring, it should be left for 48 hours in the room in order to allow it to adjust to the temperature and humidity in which it will be used. How to instal your laminate flooring?* Glue-free systems. No special tools: a pencil, ruler and saw are about all you need. 2-lock Fold-down system! It s so easy 2-Lock, it takes 50% less time to instal the flooring! So easy only one person is needed, even for large rooms! T-lock Angle system: angle-angle-angle: it is locked and will stay firmly clicked in place for many long years! And walk over your flooring as soon as it is laid! *Always refer to and follow the installation instructions provided with your laminate flooring. 44

45 Aquastyle Simple steps to prevent water ingress! Aquastyle 832 boards are treated to resist moisture ingress, and hence expansion. But to make your humid room even more resistant to moisture, all its perimeters should be watertight. Tarkett provides you with all the accessories to achieve this goal, and all the indications to build your water-resistant solution! 1 AQUASTYLE UNDERLAY & 2 AQUASTYLE TAPE o come up to the wall lace with Aquastyle 5 AQUASTYLE SKIRTING and fixing unit AQUASTYLE 832 & 4 AQUASTYLE EDGE PROTECT Reminder on the use of Aquastyle 832 Private use only: unsuitable for public areas and heavily-used rooms.
