Often touted as the best way to be environmentally friendly and support your community, buying local means just that—purchasing items manufactured near you. By purchasing goods
that are produced locally, you stimulate the economy where you live—jobs are
created or retained, families and cultures are supported, and the community thrives
and grows.
Purchasing locally also means that you have more control over quality; you know that
certain goods have been produced in a way that meets national standards, especially
in terms of responsible forest management.
Furthermore, sourcing locally reduces the transportation costs associated with your
goods. Buying local puts less strain on the environment by using less gas, and thus fewer emissions.
The interlocking design of Lock floorboards guarantees resilience while minimizing the cost of labour and materials, leading to a uniform look across your entire home.
With Välinge's innovation of the sturdy 2G™ angling installation system applied to both long and short sides, floorboards snugly interlock, saving time on spacing. The robust joints provide a tight connection on all sides, resulting in a level floor without any gaps, even in fluctuating temperatures and humidity rates (30% to 60%).
Flexible subfloor: Lock floorboards adapt to a range of subfloor types, including concrete, wood, and radiant heating systems. They can be installed below, on, or above grade. Consider floating them atop a recommended membrane, ensuring a level, clean, dry, and sound surface. Soundproofing or dampening materials can enhance comfort and acoustics in your space. The interlock design fastens the floor securely without the need for permanent attachments such as nails or adhesives, cutting down on costs.
Simple installation: Whether your floor is glued down or floated, the appeal of a swift and hassle-free process cannot be overstated. Lock floorboards check both boxes, making them a perfect choice for DIY enthusiasts. However, please keep in mind that prior experience or expert guidance is strongly recommended for a successful project.
Instructions can be summarized in 4 steps!
Prepare your floor surface and cover it with the recommended membrane. Take boards from several boxes, alternating as you go to ensure the best look.
Start in the left corner of the room. Lay the first row of boards with the groove facing you, leaving at least 1/2" gap from the wall. Install the next row, inserting the tongue into the groove at a 45˚ angle.
Press lightly on the boards to lock them in place. Use both hands to apply even pressure.
Lay subsequent rows in the same way.
In the hands of professionals, the floating method boasts an impressive 30% reduction in installation time, with no need for glue or nails, ensuring easy cleanup with a broom or mop.
Considering glue-down installation? No problem—Lock technology is compatible with that method as well. The seamless interlocking of the boards not only improves efficiency but also minimizes glue smudging compared to other flooring technologies, thanks to the simplified alignment of the boards.
Moreover, assorted board lengths ranging from 17″ to 69″ in each box not only offer a captivating visual appeal but also speed up the fitting process for added practicality.
