Preparations:
- Start by removing the skirting.
- Shorten the base of the door and ensure that the door moves freely above the new floor surface.
- Lay down foam or paper underlay and plastic sheeting if required.
- Plan your installation ahead so that the last row becomes a minimum of 50 mm wide.
Laying:
Use distances against the wall.
The first row is laid with the long side tongue against the wall and the short side with the plastic list towards the next board according to the picture.
Place the second board tightly against the first and fold down with a single action movement. Place your hand above the joint to push down the board to the right position. Be careful that they are aligned correctly.
The staggering of the joints in adjacent rows should not be less than 40 cm.
Push in the long side first and tight to the previous board. Fold down in a single action movement. Place your hand above the joint to push down the board to the right position.

Important

Please see our Web page for maintenance and warranty before installation.
The floor may not be used in wet areas such as bathrooms.
The indoor relative humidity should always be 30%-60% RH
The subfloor is to be dry, clean, and flat.
If the flooring is to be laid on concrete, the subfloor is always to be covered with a plastic film moisture barrier. To even the surface and reduce noise a floor underlay must be used. Max 2 mm.
The floor is installed floating. Always leave an expansion gap of 8-10 mm against the wall. Avoid installations, heavy objects, screws, or nails through the floor, which prevent the floor’s normal movements, so that joints don’t open up. If the room is more than 10 m along the planks or 6 m across the planks, an extra expansion gap should be used.
At the time of laying the floor, check that all planks are free from visual defects and damage, this relates to both color and structure and fitting tolerances. Be careful to have enough light at the time of installation. Claims on installed flooring are not accepted.
Golvabia shall not be liable for any delayed availability of premises, or any consequential costs related to this, which may result from a justified claim.
Be careful not to use too much force at the installation since this can damage the floor. Follow the installation instructions carefully. More info is available on www.golvabia.se
The color of the wood floor changes when it is exposed to day light. This is a natural characteristic of wood material

Furniture feet should be fitted with felt pads.
Do not use tape on the floor.
For daily cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner and wipe the surface if necessary with a well-wrung damp cloth. Only mild detergents should be used.
For the long-term maintenance is polish or refresher used to give the floor a fresh look.
Maxwood is not refundable but can be renovated by sanding the surface lightly by hand, cleaning the floor, and applying a new coat of lacquer.

Use an entrance mat both outside and inside the exterior door to prevent dirt and sand from damaging your floor. Dirt is the cause of wear on wood floors
