Preparing Your Space for install
To prepare your space for installing your new floors, all subfloors must be clean, flat, dry and structurally sound. Ensure subfloor moisture levels have been tested and any issues have been properly treated. Acclimation of COREtec planks and tiles prior to installation is not required, but your floors should be installed in a climate-controlled environment. See installation guidelines below for more detailed information.
