Main risks

• Cuts, pinching injuries and splinters when handling boards, skirting boards and mouldings.
• Impact or injury from heavy packs falling during transport or installation.
• Slips due to sanding dust, adhesive residues, or wet or freshly finished surfaces.
• Irritation of the respiratory tract, eyes and skin from wood dust and vapours from adhesives, oils or varnishes.
• Moisture damage: swelling, warping, mould growth in the subfloor, or bad odours.
• Fire risk from solvents and sanding dust in the presence of sparks or flames.
• Flying particles and noise when cutting or sanding with power tools.

Safe use

• Handle packs with two people and cut straps away from your body; wear gloves, safety goggles and suitable respiratory protection when sanding.
• Work in a stable, clean and well-ventilated area; keep the floor free of cables, debris and liquids to prevent trips and slips.
• Make cuts and drill holes with tools in good condition and sharp blades; secure parts firmly and vacuum dust frequently.
• Ventilate continuously when using adhesives, oils or varnishes, and keep flames, sparks and other ignition sources away.
• Observe the drying and curing times indicated by the product; do not walk on the floor or move furniture until the finish is completely dry.
• Before installation, check there are no leaks or wet works in the room and that the subfloor is dry, clean and level.
• If there is underfloor heating, verify the floor's compatibility and avoid sudden temperature changes.
• During installation or finishing, keep children and pets away and clearly mark wet or work areas.

Storage and maintenance

• Store packs indoors, horizontally, in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources; avoid leaning them against walls or on damp floors.
• Allow the material to acclimatise in the room before installation, as per the manufacturer's instructions.
• Clean with a dry or slightly damp mop; remove spills immediately and avoid excessive water.
• Do not use steam mops or abrasive products; test any cleaner in an inconspicuous area.
• Fit felt pads to furniture and use doormats to reduce the ingress of sand and grit.
• Do not drag furniture; lift it and use protection when moving heavy items.
• During sanding or renovation work, collect dust with suitable extraction and ventilate until odours and particles are eliminated.
• Protect from intense, prolonged sunlight to minimise colour changes.

Restrictions of use

• Suitable for dry indoor areas unless the product states otherwise; avoid bathrooms, saunas and areas with persistent humidity or flood risk.
• Maintain distance and protection from fireplaces, stoves and other intense heat sources.
• Do not walk on or place furniture on freshly glued flooring or a wet finish.
• Do not install over unstable or very damp subfloors, or over incompatible underfloor heating.
• Do not mix adhesives, oils or varnishes of different types without verifying their compatibility.
• Avoid stiletto heels and keep pets' nails trimmed to reduce marks and scratches.
• Do not use the floor as a work surface, structural support, or outdoors unless expressly stated by the product.
