The indoor temperature is controlled between 18 ° C and 29 ° C. Do not unpack. Take care to avoid direct sunlight and large temperature changes.
Ground Floor
Suspended installation floor is generally required on plywood, OSB board, tile or cement self-leveling floor. If it is installed on the original floor, the original floor must be firmly nailed or glued to the ground and must be flat. The floor of wooden plywood, OSB boards or boards must be flat.
The unevenness of the base layer should be less than 2 millimeters within the range of 2 meters ruler. Otherwise, suitable self-leveling should be used for leveling. If there is no moisture-proof treatment on the original floor, a layer of waterproof polyethylene film (film and film overlap 20cm) should be laid.
Cleaning and dust removal is required before installation to ensure that the ground is free of debris or gravel, and that the ground is dry, clean and level.
