02 · INSTALL
Installation must follow the current technical sheet and actual site conditions. These checks do not replace assessment by a qualified installer.
Flooring requires a sound, clean, stable base compatible with the selected installation system.
Check cohesion, adhesive residue, cracks, contamination and load-bearing capacity before laying the first board.
Installing on a weak or contaminated substrate and expecting the underlay to correct the problem.
A surface that looks dry may retain moisture incompatible with wood, HDF or adhesives.
Measure with the correct procedure for the screed type and document the result before installation.
Using only a surface meter, relying on elapsed time or sealing moisture in without finding its source.
Substrate deviations create movement, sound, joint stress and uneven wear.
Verify tolerances with the appropriate straightedge and correct them compatibly before underlay or adhesive.
Compensating with soft layers or forcing boards together during installation.
Underlay affects acoustics, stability, heat transfer and vapour protection.
Select a solution authorised for the collection, substrate and underfloor-heating system where applicable.
Choosing by thickness or price without checking compressive strength, joint protection and vapour control.
Both systems may be valid, but sound, response, repair and preparation requirements differ.
Decide according to product, substrate, acoustics, underfloor heating, dimensions and expected use.
Changing the recommended system during the work or bonding a collection not approved for adhesive installation.
Materials change dimension and require room to move without lifting or opening joints.
Respect perimeters, structural joints, doorways and maximum areas stated by MEISTER.
Blocking the floor with fixed furniture, rigid sealant, screws, frames or tightly fitted skirting.
Orientation changes the perception of length, width, light and continuity.
Study the main room, incoming light, corridors and transitions before setting the starting line.
Starting from a wall without checking squareness and ending with an impractical final row.
Skirting, profiles, stairs, doors and junctions turn correct laying into a finished project.
Define components, colours, heights, clearances and stair details before calculating and ordering.
Leaving details until the end and discovering that the required profile, colour or size is unavailable.
