In a home
Shown in Oakwood Villa.
Living areas, open-plan kitchens, passages, bedrooms, offices and shops. The AC5 / Class 33 rating is the grade for heavy commercial traffic, and the core is made to resist swelling: under 5% after the board is fully soaked in testing.
Water-resistant doesn't mean waterproof. Spills, pet bowls and wet shoes are fine if you wipe them up; standing water, leaks and flooding are not.
Black Forest+ is laid as a floating floor: the planks click together over an underlay and aren't glued or nailed down. It needs a gap of 12 to 15 mm around the edges, which the skirting and trims cover. Each colour has matching trims (listed under each colour).
Before it goes down, we check the screed underneath is solid, level and dry, repair or level any weak or uneven areas, and lay a moisture barrier where it's needed. The underlay is chosen for the room and your budget, from standard Combilay to premium acoustic underlay, always one the manufacturer approves.
Sweep, vacuum (no beater bar) or use a dry microfibre mop to get rid of grit. For a proper clean, use a well-wrung, slightly damp microfibre mop so the floor dries straight away. Don't pour or spray water or cleaner on the floor, and don't use wax or polish.
Put felt pads under furniture, lift rather than drag, use a mat at outside doors and a chair mat under office chairs on castors.
