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:
- Start from the longest wall, working toward the door
- First row is critical — must be perfectly straight
- Each plank clicks into the previous one at an angle
- Use spacers along walls (8-10mm expansion gap)
- Cut pieces as needed for end pieces and around obstacles
- 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
