Installation and Maintenance
Installation
Installing your Shaw Endura Plus White Sands flooring is straightforward thanks to the innovative Fold-N-Go locking system. This system allows the planks to be easily snapped together, creating a tight seal without the need for glue or nails. Here’s how you can achieve the best results:
- Preparation: Ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Any unevenness greater than 1/8 inch over 6 feet should be corrected before installation to ensure the best performance of your flooring.
- Tools Required: Although the Fold-N-Go system is designed for easy setup, having the right tools can simplify the process. You’ll need a tape measure, utility knife, straight edge, and a rubber mallet.
- Laying the Planks: Start from the corner of the room and work your way out. Press the edges of the planks together and use the rubber mallet to gently tap them into place, ensuring there are no gaps.
- Finishing Touches: Install transition strips between different types of flooring and place baseboards to cover the expansion gaps along the walls. These not only enhance the appearance but also protect the edges of your new flooring.
By following these steps, your installation should go smoothly, leaving you with a beautifully laid out floor that is both secure and aesthetically pleasing.
Maintenance
Maintaining your Shaw Endura Plus White Sands flooring is essential for preserving its appearance and longevity. Here are some guidelines to help you keep your floors looking new:
- Daily Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit that can scratch the surface. For a deeper clean, use a damp mop with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for luxury vinyl flooring.
- Addressing Spills: Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent staining. For tough spots like oil, paint, markers, lipstick, ink, or tar, use alcohol or acetone on a clean white cloth, but always rinse with water afterwards.
- Preventative Measures: Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratching. Avoid rolling heavy furniture and appliances on the floor. Consider using doormats at entrances to reduce the amount of dirt tracked onto the floor.
- Repairing Damage: If a plank becomes severely damaged, it can be replaced without redoing the entire floor. Having spare planks on hand can make this process easier and ensure a perfect match.
