Daytona Toasted Oak Plank Glue Down LVT Flooring

Daytona Toasted Oak Plank is a commercial-grade, oak-effect luxury vinyl floor in a softly toasted, gently golden shade. Each plank measures 178 x 1219mm, glues down and stays put and carries a 0.55mm wear layer, the grade specified for shops and offices.

The colour

A lightly toasted oak, softer and paler than Manuka Oak, with a brushed grain that gives it the character of a more lively wood. For period houses, dining rooms and anywhere a floor should look like it has always been there.

Suits: Period homes, dining rooms, studies and restaurants.

Why Daytona

• A 0.55mm wear layer. Most vinyl sold for the home carries 0.30mm. Daytona carries 0.55mm, which is 83% thicker, on every colour and both formats. That clear layer is the only part your shoes, chair legs and pets ever touch.
• The colour sits under the wear layer. The oak effect is printed beneath the clear layer, not on top of it. With a stronger protective layer, the colour remains looking like it did on day one.
• Micro-bevelled on all four sides. Every plank has a fine bevel on each edge and a grain embossed into the surface, so every plank reads as a separate board.
• Guaranteed at home and at work. A 25 year residential guarantee and a 10 year commercial guarantee, on a floor rated Class 33 for heavy commercial use.
• Glue down, because it stays down. Bonded directly to the subfloor, with no click joint, no expansion gap at the skirting and no hollow sound underfoot. Suitable over underfloor heating up to a surface temperature of 27°C.
• Made by Associated Weavers. Certified Greenguard Gold, FloorScore and French A+ for indoor air quality, and phthalate-free.

Specification

Coverage and ordering

Each pack covers 3.685 m² and contains 17 planks. Lay it straight in a random or third stagger for a clean, modern floor, on the diagonal to widen a narrow room, or with a border. Allow 10% extra on your measured area for cutting. Toasted Oak also comes as a 114 x 457mm herringbone block, in exactly the same shade and specification.

Fitting

Let the packs acclimatise in the room for 24 hours. The subfloor must be smooth, dry and level; a latex screed over timber or uneven concrete is normal, and new screeds should be checked for moisture. Use a high-temperature dispersion adhesive made for luxury vinyl, which covers 3 to 3.5 m² per kg, with the trowel its maker recommends. Set out from the centre of the room, mix planks from three packs as you go, roll with a 50kg roller within 30 minutes of laying and keep foot traffic off for 24 hours.

Care

Vacuum or sweep, then damp-mop with a neutral cleaner. No steam mops, no abrasive pads, no bleach. Felt pads under furniture. That is all it needs.
