Installing the COREtec Pro Premium Cardington Walnut flooring is straightforward, thanks to its user-friendly design. Whether you opt for professional installation or decide to take on a DIY project, you'll appreciate the simplicity and flexibility it offers. The flooring utilizes an innovative angle-tap system, allowing planks to securely lock into place over most existing floors. This design eliminates the need for an acclimation period, enabling you to install and walk on your new floors on the same day.
For those choosing the floating method, no adhesives are necessary, which speeds up the installation process and makes it cleaner. Alternatively, for areas that demand a more permanent solution, the direct glue method can be employed. Both installation options are designed to provide a secure and lasting fit, ensuring your floors remain beautiful and functional for years to come.
Maintenance
Maintaining the COREtec Pro Premium Cardington Walnut floors is just as easy as installing them. To keep your floors looking new, regular sweeping to remove loose dirt and dust is recommended. For a deeper clean, occasional mopping with a damp cloth will suffice. It’s important to use cleaners that are specifically designed for luxury vinyl flooring to avoid damaging the UV acrylic finish.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can wear down the finish and potentially damage the floor. For spot cleaning, a mild solution and a soft cloth can effectively handle most spills and stains. By following these simple care instructions, your COREtec floors will continue to look pristine and perform excellently, even under the rigors of everyday use.
