Mannington's Historic Oak water resistant laminate collection features character and depth through a reclaimed wood look that is sure to fool the eye. Looking like a real hardwood floor, Historic Oak laminate details realistic saw marks and nail holes, unlike any of our other flooring options. Finished with water resistant technology, having a wood floor has never been easier (not to mention so low maintenance!).
General Information: The flooring is installed as a "floating flooring". This means that the flooring should not be fixed to the subfloor and there should be 4-6 mm distance to wall and other fixed objects. Remove any flooring strips. Measure the room accurately at a right angle to the direction of the floorboards. The floorboards in the final row should be at least 5 cm wide. If necessary, the floorboards in the first row can be cut to smaller size. Tools needed to install the flooring are a pad saw or fine toothed handsaw and an installation kit containing spacer block and an installation tool. You also need an underlayment (cork, foam or rubber) and in certain cases 0.2 (0.008 in) mm plastic film for insulation against moisture.
Laminate planks are easy to keep clean and maintain. Maintenance of the floor typically includes the following: Use a damp cloth to blot up spills as soon as they happen. Never allow liquids to stand on your floor. For tough spots, such as oil, paint, markers, lipstick, ink, or tar, use acetone/nail polish remover on a clean white cloth, then wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue. Sweep, dust, or vacuum the floor regularly with the hard floor attachment to prevent accumulation of dirt and grit that can scratch or dull the floor finish. Periodically clean the floor with cleaning products made specifically for laminate floor care. Do not wash or wet mop the floor with soap, water, oil-soap detergent, or any other liquid cleaning material. This could cause swelling, warping, delamination, and joint-line separation, and void the warranty. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong ammoniated or chlorinated type cleaners. Do not use any type of buffing or polishing machine. For spots such as candle wax or chewing gum, harden the spot with ice and then gently scrape with a plastic scraper, such as a credit card. Be careful not to scratch the flooring surface. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Use felt pads under chair and furniture legs to prevent scratching of the floor surface. Place door mats at all entrances to prevent tracked-in dirt, rocks, moisture, and other debris.
Mannington Historic Oak is a great floating floor that can be installed over the top of linoleum or other flooring because of the click-locking construction. You would want to ensure that your floor is level and then proceed to install as if you were...
