Frequently Asked Questions
Can Gerflor Creation 40 Solid Clic be installed with underfloor heating?
Yes, Gerflor Creation 40 Solid Clic is suitable for installation over embedded underfloor heating systems (both water and electric types). It's crucial to ensure the system is commissioned correctly and that the surface temperature of the flooring never exceeds 27°C. Always adhere to Gerflor's specific installation guidelines regarding underfloor heating.
How do I clean and maintain Gerflor Creation 40 Solid Clic flooring?
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the Protecshield™ surface treatment. For daily cleaning, use a broom, microfiber mop, or vacuum cleaner (with a suitable hard floor attachment). For more thorough cleaning, damp mop using a neutral pH cleaner diluted in water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, wax, or polish. Promptly wipe up spills to prevent potential staining.
What is the wear layer thickness and why is it important?
Gerflor Creation 40 Solid Clic features a 0.40mm wear layer. The wear layer is the top transparent coating that protects the decorative design layer from scratches, scuffs, and wear. A 0.40mm thickness provides good durability suitable for all residential areas and light commercial environments with moderate foot traffic.
Is Gerflor Creation 40 Solid Clic waterproof
Gerflor Creation 40 Solid Clic is highly water-resistant due to its vinyl composition and tight Clic locking system. This makes it an excellent choice for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms. While the surface is waterproof, care should be taken to ensure significant spills don't seep through joints over prolonged periods, and the subfloor condition must be suitable.
