BERRY ALLOC Style Bedienungsanleitung

style installation manual

Version: 28/10/2020

Style is suited for both residential and commercial areas such as shops, hotel rooms, etc.

To obtain a perfect result, we recommend that the installation instructions are followed carefully.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Transport your ﬂoor carefully on a ﬂat surface. Planks should be stored and transported

ﬂat in their packaging, in small neat piles, max. 5 boxes high. It is recommended not to

place the boxes down on the short side as this can cause damage to the locking system.

It is important to store the planks for at least 48 hours at room temperature (18-25°C)

before installation. Make sure the packs are spread out so they all have the chance to

adjust. This temperature should be maintained throughout the installation and for least

24 hours aer installation.

Storage: Style must be stored inside.

TOOLS

Trimming knife, saw or guillotine, pencil, T-square, measurer and spacers (wedges).

Additionally for skirting boards and proﬁles: power drill.

SUBFLOOR

Careful subﬂoor preparation is essential for an excellent result. Roughness or unevenness

in the subﬂoor may telegraph through the new ﬂoor, resulting in an unsightly surface

and causing excessive wear on high spots, damage to the locking system or indentation

on lower spots.

Remove all traces of plaster, paint, glue, oil, grease, etc. The subﬂoor must be clean, ﬂat,

dry and stable. Remove textile ﬂoor coverings (such as carpet, needle felts, etc.) Remove

all debris (including nails) and vacuum.

Style can be installed on top of concrete, tiles, wood and most existing hard surface

ﬂoor coverings, provided that the subﬂoor is smooth, dry and clean. It is not suited to be

installed on so surface ﬂoor coverings s.a. carpet or cushion vinyl.

Although Style is impervious to moisture, subﬂoors must be checked for moisture

problems. If there is moisture, carry out sealing before installation. Excessive moisture

can generate mould or fungus.

Depending on your subﬂoor, a moisture barrier/ damp screen might be necessary. When

properly installed with aluminium adhesive tape, our Dreamtec+ underlay functions as

a dampscreen.

Make sure ﬂoor level deviation is a maximum of 3 mm per m, and 2 mm per 20 cm. If

these margins are exceeded, the subﬂoor must be evened out with a suitable ﬁller or

levelling compound, and a check must be carried out to determine if a sealer is needed.

If you are not certain about the quality or suitability of your subﬂoor for the installation of

Style, then contact your dealer, who will be more than happy to help you.

1. PREPARATION

style installation manual

Underﬂoor cooling and heating

Floor heating is also possible, provided that the heated ﬂoor temperature does not

exceed 27°C. Only underﬂoor heating systems with heating components – hot water

or electric – embedded in the ﬂoor are suitable. Heating ﬁlms or other systems that are

placed ON the screed or subﬂoor are not suitable.

Switch oﬀ or lower the underﬂoor heating to 15°C 48 hours before installation and during

installation. 24 hours aer installation, increase the underﬂoor heating gradually by 5°C

daily, up to a maximum ﬂoor temperature of 27°C. With electrical underﬂoor heating, we

advise not to exceed 60W/m².

The subﬂoor construction (surface) of the heating system must be hard.

Floor cooling uses the same systematic as the indirect ﬂoor heating systems. It is

important that the system is advanced enough to avoid condensation under the ﬂoor.

Otherwise fungi can start to grow. If the system is advanced enough, it can without

doubt be installed in combination with our ﬂoors.

Preparation of concrete/screed subﬂoor

Let new concrete dry suﬃciently. The moisture content of the subﬂoor must be less than

75 RH at min. 20°C. Max 2 % CM for cement and 0.5 % for anhydrite. Where there is

underﬂoor heating, moisture content should be less than 1.8 CM%, and 0.3 CM% for

anhydrite. Always record and keep your moisture content results.

Repair surface imperfections with an appropriate repair compound and check if a primer

or sealer is needed. Vacuum the subﬂoor aerwards to remove all debris.

Preparation of tile subﬂoor

Check the subﬂoor for moisture problems.

The joints of the Style ﬂoor covering should never be aligned with

the underlying tile joints.

It is not necessary to ﬁll the grouts of a subﬂoor comprised of ceramic tiles with joints

when these do not exceed 6 mm in width.

When installing Style on a tile subﬂoor, use the Dreamtec+ underlay to overcome surface

imperfections.

Preparation of wooden subﬂoor

Check the ﬂoor for insect infestations.

Make sure the subﬂoor is level and nail down loose sections.

Wooden subﬂoors should always have access to air and should be ventilated.

UNDERLAY

We advise using the BerryAlloc LVT underlay (Dreamtec +) to reduce walking and sound

transmission performance. Other underlays might be used if they have a thickness of

maximum 1.5mm and a compressive strength of more than 400kPa. We do not guarantee

any acoustic or insulation properties with third party underlays.

style installation manual

Style is not suitable for outdoor use or conservatories. Ensure that the indoor temperature

is always kept above 5°C and ideally between 18 and 25°C.

Avoid long-lasting exposure to direct sunlight (direct meaning without a glass or window

barrier).

Check all planks for visible defects in optimal light conditions, both before and during

installation. Planks with defects must not be used.

Make sure that you mix panels from diﬀerent boxes, in order to minimize shade

variations. This will ensure a more natural looking ﬂoor.

Style cannot be used in areas where drainage systems have been incorporated into the

ﬂoor.

Always keep the production batch number (printed on the box), together with your order

form/invoice.

Check that the ﬂoor planks have no visible defects before installing them.

Style should be installed so that it is ‘ﬂoating’. This means that there should be suﬃcient space between the ﬂoor

and all walls or any ﬁxed objects, so that the ﬂoor can move in any direction, i.e. it should not be screwed or nailed

down to the subﬂoor.

The installation of the ﬂoor must be the ﬁnal operation in the project. Exceptionally heavy furniture, such as kitchen

cabinets, ﬁreplaces, system walls etc., cannot be installed on top of the ﬂooring, as this restricts the ﬂoor’s ability

to expand.

Measure the room to create a balanced layout. By measuring, you will be able to determine if the ﬁrst row needs to

be cut. The ﬁrst and last rows should not be less than 5 cm wide.

If the ﬁrst row of panels does not need to be trimmed in width, you must remove the locks on the side that faces

the wall.

It is important to leave an expansion gap around the total perimeter of the ﬂoor and around columns, pipes,

thresholds etc. This expansion gap should measure at least 8mm and increase with 1mm once the installed ﬂoor

exceeds 8 meter (example: if the room measures 15x15m, the expansion gap should be 15mm around the perimeter).

It needs to be noted that the expansion gap can measure at most 15 mm.

2. PRECAUTIONS

3. INSTALLATION

style installation manual

The largest recommended installation area depends on the room temperature.

- 5-25°C (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning): 30x30m

- 5-40°C (normal):15x15m

- 5-70°C (extreme): 5x5m

An expansion proﬁle must be used if the area is bigger than recommended for the room

temperature. In general it is not necessary to use an expansion proﬁle in door openings

when the temperature is similar, unless one of both rooms uses ﬂoor heating/cooling.

Please ensure the ﬂoor remains a ﬂoating installation at all times.

In commercial applications, we recommend using metal BerryAlloc

proﬁles.

Do not use a hammer to put planks together.

Cut boards with a trimming knife, decor side up.

When you need to cut a board in a diﬀerent shape than one

straight line, use a saw.

Always ensure that the short end joints are staggered by a minimum of 30 cm (= 3 click elements) when you start

the next row. Use the leover piece from the previous row as the ﬁrst piece of the next row, provided that this piece

is at least 30 cm long. In order to ﬁnd a connection with the locking tabs of the previous row, it may be necessary to

cut oﬀ an extra part of the leover piece.

Style planks can be installed in a variety of diﬀerent paerns.

The click elements of the new row, need to be

positioned, exactly in the middle of two locks of the

previous row. From second row on, always connect

the short side ﬁrst and then the long side.

To install the last row, position a loose panel exactly

on top of the last laid. Place another panel upside

down up to the wall and mark the panel underneath.

Cut the marked panel to size and ﬁt in place.

This method should be repeated for each panel

until the last row is complete.

For door mouldings, lay a panel face down next to

the door moulding. Saw the panel, then slide the

plank under the moulding. Make sure the moulding

doesn’t support on the ﬂoor.

SILI

Use Style accessories for a perfect result.

To allow the ﬂoating ﬂoor the necessary contraction and expansion we advise against

ﬁxing any accessory on the ﬂoor. Never aach skirting boards directly onto the installed

ﬂoor. Permanent sealing products (silicone) should never be used to seal up the

gap between the ﬂoor covering and skirting boards/proﬁles. Joints on ﬁxed building

elements (door frames, heating pipes, etc.) should never be completely sealed with

elastic ﬁller. You should use ﬁller twine as a basis for ﬁlling expansion joints. Another

option is to make use of end proﬁles to seal of expansion joints. Proﬁles, doorstops and

suchlike should not be screwed through the ﬂoor covering into the subﬂoor.

To keep your ﬂoor in good condition, it is important to place non-rubber backed

doormats at all entrances, to prevent dirt or grit on your ﬂoor. Placing doormats will

eliminate abrasive particles driven by footwear and will reduce damage. Do not use

rubber-backed mats, as long-lasting contact with rubber can cause permanent

discolouration. Never place doormats on a wet ﬂoor.

Consider saving a few planks for any potential future repairs.

Rolling oﬃce chairs, furniture legs, ﬁtness appliances, etc. should be ﬁed with so, non-rubber casters, to avoid

permanent damage to your ﬂoor. Use a suitable desk mat.

You should use felt pads or protective feet for items that contain rubber, such as chair legs, furniture legs, ﬁtness

appliances, etc.

CLEANING

Initial cleaning

First remove all dirt and dust from the ﬂooring with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Then

clean with water and a neutral appropriate cleaning agent, at least twice and until the

water stays clean. We strongly recommend using BERRYALLOC Vinyl Planks cleaning

products. Any other cleaning product may contain agents that damage resilient ﬂoor

surfaces. The coating of the top-layer makes a speciﬁc treatment aer installation

unnecessary.

Regular cleaning instructions

Vacuum or wet mop. When required, use a solution of clean water and mild, pH-neutral

detergent or domestic ﬂoor cleaning emulsion.

We strongly recommend using BERRYALLOC Vinyl Planks cleaning products, as other

products may damage your ﬂooring surface. Rinse thoroughly and soak up residual

water.

NB: the ﬂoor can feel more slippery when it becomes wet. Spots, marks and spillages

should be wiped up as soon as possible.

Do not use chlorinated solvents. Never use wax or varnish coating.

Never use maintenance products that contain wax or oil. Never use a steam mop.
