IMPORTANT NOTICE:
1. We leave a 10mm gap all around the room to allow for the expansion of the floor. Baseboards must be installed AFTER the laminate flooring in order to cover the gap. Flooring conforms to the standards set by the European Producers of Laminate Flooring (EPLF). The following tolerances may occur and are acceptable: Height difference at the joint up to a maximum of 0.15 mm; Convex and concave measured across the full width of the installed planks at 0.25 mm; Openings within the floor surface at a maximum width of 0.2 mm.
2. For installations that exceed 8x8 meters in any directions, moldings are needed to avoid excessive expansion.
3. Cabinets and Furnitures should not be fixed or place on top of the laminate floor because it prevents normal expansions and contractions.
4. Delivery and installation will be scheduled within one week from our acceptance that subfloor is ready for installation. Preparation and leveling of sub-floors are not included in this offer.
5. To ensure colour availability, please reserve at least one month before expected installation.
6. Wood, as product of nature, is subject to variation in tone, color and grain.
