Quick installation

Silkwood Engineered Flooring can be installed in a matter of hours, directly over a number of surfaces such as:

• Over a concrete slab
  
• Over particle board or plywood sub-flooring
• Over ceramic tiles or vinyl
• Over old timber

There are four fundamental points to consider when installing Silkwood Engineered Flooring

• The subfloor should be clean, dry and level in all cases. Silkwood is predominantly installed as a floating floor over existing structural flooring or can also be glued directly onto the subfloor - particular preparation is vital for successful installation.
• In a floating floor installation method, use an effective underlay.
• Leave a small gap around the edge of the floor to allow for the natural expansion associated with timber
• Finish the floor with the appropriate trims, available from your retailer World of Timber
