How We Install SPC Flooring — The Professional Process

Understanding the installation process helps you prepare your home and know what to expect. Here's exactly how our team transforms your floors.

Step 1: Site Inspection & Measurement

Before any work begins, our team visits your home to:

  • Measure every room precisely (laser measurement for accuracy)
  • Check subfloor conditions (level, moisture, cracks)
  • Identify potential issues (door clearance, transitions, thresholds)
  • Help you choose colors and textures with physical samples

This visit is completely free and takes about 30-45 minutes.

Step 2: Preparation Day

On installation day, we start with preparation:

  • Move light furniture to a safe area
  • Remove existing floor transitions and skirting (if needed)
  • Clean the subfloor thoroughly — dust and debris affect adhesion
  • Level any uneven areas (self-leveling compound if needed)
  • Lay moisture barrier / underlayment

Step 3: Installation

SPC uses a click-lock system — no glue or nails needed:

  1. Start from the longest wall, working toward the door
  2. First row is critical — must be perfectly straight
  3. Each plank clicks into the previous one at an angle
  4. Use spacers along walls (8-10mm expansion gap)
  5. Cut pieces as needed for end pieces and around obstacles
  6. Stagger joints for natural appearance (minimum 30cm offset)

Step 4: Finishing Touches

  • Install new skirting boards to cover expansion gaps
  • Add transition strips at doorways and floor-type changes
  • Trim door frames if needed for clearance
  • Final cleaning of the entire floor
  • Quality inspection with the homeowner

Step 5: Handover

  • Walk through with you to check every area
  • Provide care and maintenance guide
  • Register your warranty
  • Clean up all waste and remove from your home
