How to Install SPC-Lux Flooring

Follow this guide to install your SPC-Lux Flooring.

We have broken the install down into a few simple steps, so that it is easy to follow — but we also have uploaded a How to Video which will assist you with the install.

You can of course contact a member of our team if you require any further advice or assistance with this flooring project. We have a call-me-back and an enquiry form here.

Install your SPC-Lux Insulated Flooring by following our step-by-step how-to guide. We have made this clear so you can easily install the flooring yourself, using it in conjunction with our video and website details.

Measure the Area of the Room

Measure the total area required, using a tape measure. You should measure the width and length.

Start Installing SPC-Lux

Begin at the back corner of the room, laying the SPC-Lux Flooring.

Our recommendation would be to start with a full board and just cut the final piece when you come to the end of your run — this creates a scattered pattern.

Cutting the SPC-Lux

To cut the SPC-Lux you should use the knife and the set square provided within the kit, to ensure a perfect straight finish. Once you have scored the SPC-Lux flooring panel, you can then snap the board.

Do not cut over a board that is already down — you risk scraping it as you apply pressure. Either cut elsewhere, or flip an unused board over and use that as your base.

UNILIN Locking System

The SPC-Lux boards are clicked together using the UNILIN Locking System, which makes the install easier than alternative flooring types. You'll be able to feel the board clicking into place.

Tapping Block and Mallet

Use your tapping block and the mallet provided in the kit to ensure the panels are secured together nicely.

The mallet is rubber, so it will not damage the SPC-Lux panels.

Getting Around the Tricky Bits

Within the kit you will have a profile gauge — this goes around shapes and replicates them, so you can copy the shape onto the SPC-Lux flooring. Place the profile gauge over the flooring and mark the area required to remove, then cut the shape out using a jigsaw.

Pull Bar

When you get near the edge, use the pull bar to ensure the flooring is securely in place all around the perimeter of the room. Use the pull bar in conjunction with the mallet.

Radiator Pipes

If you have radiator pipes, use the profile gauge to get half of the curve of the pipe and draw this shape on the end of your board. Do the same on another board for the other side, then use a jigsaw to make the cuts and slot each piece around the pipe.

You may then wish to finish with pipe covers if necessary.
