Level and clean the base (floor/wall), ensure it’s dry and debris-free, slope ≥2‰ (anti-waterlogging)
Mark lines per layout, leave 5-10mm expansion gap (for thermal expansion)
Let WPC boards acclimate on-site for 24 hours first
Floor Installation (Most Common)
Floating method (Recommended): Lay moisture-proof mat → Install keel (spacing 300-400mm) → Snap-fit boards, leave expansion gap
Direct laying: Lay boards directly on compact base, fix edges with trim strips
Wall Installation
Keel fixing: Fix keel to wall with expansion screws → Fasten boards with clips/self-tapping screws (screw spacing 200-300mm)
Note: Leave 3-5mm ventilation gap between boards and wall
Trim edges with edge strips and corner profiles to hide cuts
Clean the surface after installation, avoid scratches from sharp objects
