Installation:
How do I install it?
Installation is quick and easy. Please refer to our How To Install page
What are the tools and supplies I need to install my Easiklip flooring?
You will need a tape measure, N IOSH-designated dust mask, 15mm wedges, broom, hand saw, eye protection, transition and wall mouldings.
We recommend using a 2mm underlayment and damp-proof membrane to protect your Easiklip wood floor against moisture leaking up from your subfloor.
Can I install over top of carpet or other existing flooring?
For installation over existing flooring, the floor humidity must be under 10%.
For installation over a concrete floor, the humidity of the concrete floor can't be above 2.5-3%.
The subfloor has to be flat, hard, dry and free of dust.
Carpet and other flexible coatings have to be removed.
What type of underlay do I need?
You need a damp proof membrane and a minimum 2mm foam pad underlay. We sell a combo underlay the provides both the vapor barrier and foam pad in one.
Can I install in a basement?
Yes. You have to install a 2mm underlay and a vapour barrier (damp proof membrane) first. Before installing, ensure that your subfloor has no cracks, and that the year-round humidity remains between 40-65%.
What if any of my boards are damaged when I unpack them?
Please refer to ourEasiklip Warranty and 30-day Money Back Guarantee

Nope. Our floors clip together with a tongue and groove system coupled with aluminum clips. There is no fussy stuff!
Can I install Easiklip myself?
Yes, that's why we call it "Easi".
How long will installation take?
For most people, we estimate 1-2 hours of labour for every 100 sq ft of installed flooring. You'll likely get faster as you go!
Can I hire someone else to install my Easiklip floor for me?
Yes, of course. Any hardwood flooring professional will be qualified to install Easiklip flooring.
Maintenance:
What cleaning supplies should I use on my floor?
For daily maintenance, the floor can be vacuumed or swept. Don't use aggressive cleaning agents. Never use ammonia or chlorine. Use a wet rag if necessary.
Repair:
How can I repair my floor if one or multiple boards are damaged?
We always recommend you purchase 5-8% more flooring than you think you need in case you damage your floor at any point. To replace any damaged boards, remove all baseboards and begin to pull up your Easiklip flooring in the opposite direction you installed it, beginning with the last board you installed. As you lift each board, number it on the underside so you can remember the sequence of each board so you don't end up having to cut down and waste any of your existing undamaged floor. Trim your replacement boards to match the length of the boards you will be replacing. Once you reach the damaged area, replace the damaged boards with new boards of the same lengths and re-lay the remaining boards.
Uninstallation:
How should I remove my Easiklip floor?
Remove it in reverse to how you installed it. If you are planning to do a renovation and wish to remove your flooring so as to not damage it, you will want to remember the order the boards were installed in. for this, we recommend that you number your boards on the underside with a jiffy marker or similar as you remove them
How can I package and store my floor during transportation?
Package your flooring in long boxes that allow the flooring to remain flat. Transporting the flooring on any of it's sides can easily cause damage to the tongue and groove board edges. We recommend that you wrap all boards with newspaper or a flexible foam to prevent boards from scratching each other.
