Lay a Luxury tiles floor

Before you begin

The temperature of both the room and floor materials must be between 55°F and 85°F. Make sure the floorboards have been stored within this temperature range for at least 24 hours before you begin laying your floor.

Kährs Luxury Tiles can be laid on top of most subfloors. The subfloor should be clean, dry, solid and flat. Remove all existing wall-to-wall carpeting or similar floor coverings. If the vinyl floor is to be laid on top of concrete, the relative humidity (RH) can be a maximum of 85% in the subfloor. If you are using glue and laying your vinyl floor on top of underfloor heating, the heat must be turned off for the entire installation process and drying time.

Check our subfloor preperation guide for detailed instructions.
