FAQs
Can I install laminate flooring in the bathroom?
Our wood-based laminate flooring must not be installed in areas where splashing water can regularly get onto the flooring. In the long run, water can penetrate over the edges into the HDF (high density fibreboard) supporting layer and damage it permanently.
Some of our collections (Classic, Edition and Trendtime) are treated with the Aqua-Proof process so that the flooring in wet rooms can endure standing water with up to one hour's protection without damage. Laminate flooring should not be installed in permanently wet rooms or damp environments (sauna areas, small bathrooms, etc.) as the risk of moisture penetration cannot be excluded.
If you are fitting your bathroom with laminate flooring, you must ensure that you do not install it in direct splashing water areas (shower, bathtub or washbasin) and that the relative humidity does not permanently rise above 60 %. To prevent water running under the laminate flooring at the edges, it is recommended to use the water-resistant skirting board from the Parador range.
Can I install laminate flooring in the kitchen?
Since the domestic kitchen is no longer considered a wet room and (except in the event of damage) no direct splashing water can be expected, you can install our laminate flooring in the kitchen without hesitation.
Can laminate flooring be installed over underfloor heating/cooling?
Parador laminate flooring is suitable for floating installation on hot water underfloor heating systems.
For installation on electric underfloor heating systems (so-called temperature control systems) you must bear the following in mind
only install the laminate flooring on systems that have a temperature sensor and controller
do not install the laminate flooring on older electric underfloor heating systems (installation before 2000)
you should also not install laminate flooring on night storage heaters
In the technical data sheets you will find further information, for example about the heat transmission resistances of our laminate flooring.
The maximum surface temperature of 29°C must not be exceeded and a very fast heating process must be avoided.
If the screed including the underfloor heating was newly installed, the following moisture values must not be exceeded when installing the laminate flooring:
anhydrite screed: max. 0.3 CM %
cement screed: max. 1.8 CM %
Our tip: have the screed layer or heating engineer provide you with a heating protocol and a moisture measurement according to the CM method before installing the laminate flooring.
