Invictus Maximus Highland Oak Parquet - Chocolate Glue Down LVT Flooring uses a glue down installation method. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level (within 5mm over 2m, or 3mm for intricate patterns), and structurally sound. Test moisture levels with a hygrometer for 72 hours. Proceed only if relative humidity is 75% or lower. Apply at least a 3mm smoothing compound over most substrates. Use the recommended adhesive and trowel, lay the planks carefully, and roll with a 68kg floor roller in both directions. Professional installation is strongly advised.
Invictus Maximus Highland Oak Parquet - Chocolate Glue Down LVT Flooring can be fitted over dry, prepared concrete or screed (with a damp-proof membrane), plywood (minimum 5.5mm flooring grade), OSB, existing vinyl, ceramic tiles, and terrazzo. All subfloors require a minimum 3mm smoothing compound. Power-floated concrete should be shot blasted first. Do not install over cushioned vinyl, carpet, floating floors, or bare chipboard. Chipboard must be overlaid with 5.5mm plywood.
