    Remarks : 

    Technical information and safety data sheets of any laying materials and floor coverings used must be observed!

    Allow floorings to air condition in the rooms before laying. The coverings must be relaxed and laid flat.
    During the setting phase, the direct influence of heat/solar radiation, dynamic and point loads must be avoided.

    When laying there is no guarantee that the coverings will be able to resume without sticking.
    If the flooring is laid on existing flooring, the possibility of changes in the colour of the flooring cannot be excluded.
    Removing the fixings from existing floor coverings can lead to damage to these coverings.
    A possible joint formation of the flooring can also be reduced by the application of a fixation.
