Why Parador Vinyl is so special.
Before installation, the vinyl floor elements must be acclimatized and stored at the installation location for at least 48 hours in the original packaging. A 0.2 mm thick polyethylene foil ("vapour barrier") or alternatively a Parador subfloor with integrated moisture protection must always be laid on a mineral screed. When laying, certain minimum distances to fixed objects and walls must be observed for all vinyl products. In the case of vinyl with HDF carrier board, this "expansion joint" should be min. 8 mm, for vinyl made of solid material min. 5 mm. Once the subfloor has been laid, you can start with the actual laying. With floating installation, the vinyl floor is laid without a fixed connection to the subfloor. Using the simple click technique, Parador vinyl floors can be installed stably without any prior knowledge. For visual reasons, the floor should be laid with the long edges parallel to the incident light. If there are several windows, start from the largest. The floor is ready for use immediately after laying. Remove the spacers and attach the Parador skirting board using the clip technique – done!
Parador Vinyl - Care
The special surface treatment of Parador vinyl floors makes them resistant to dirt and bacteria. Vinyl floors are easy to clean, making them perfect for households with pets, children and allergy sufferers.
As with all other floor coverings, you should protect your new vinyl floor against dirt particles with suitable dirt collection zones. To protect vinyl floors against scratches, felt gliders must in any case be fitted under chair legs, table legs and furniture. For regular maintenance cleaning, vacuuming or wiping with a slightly damp floor cloth is recommended. It is therefore important that puddles of standing water do not form.
Avoid sand and dirt, as both act as sandpaper. Dry only with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use scouring agents, bone wax, steam cleaners or polish. Contamination with substances such as shoe polish, varnish, tar, oil, grease, ink, marker and lipstick is best removed with a cloth dampened with PU cleaner (polyurethane cleaner). Here, the respective instructions for use must be followed. To remove stains and minor scratches, use a cloth to apply a little PU cleaner to the surface to be treated and rub it dry after a few minutes. If you have to treat or renovate a larger area, it is recommended to use special care products and seals that can be ordered from a specialist store.
