Yes – We recommend you let your Weymouth floor acclimatise for at least 24 hours before installing. This needs to be in the same room that it will be installed in, and it needs to remain within the sealed packaging. The sealed packaging helps ensure the floor doesn’t warp with the change of temperature from different environments. Do not store the flooring outdoors, in an outbuilding, or anywhere with damp or condensation problems.

The surface immediately beneath a Woodpecker floor must be in good structural condition, free from damp rot, fungal or insect infestation, and contaminating residues. It must be flat with uneven areas not exceeding 3mm over a 2m area. Naturally, the surface should be vacuumed and totally free of debris before fitting begins. Hot pipes should be well insulated to prevent localised hotspots, which can cause Weymouth flooring to distort.

Not in normal living conditions (temperatures of 15-25°C). However, allow a gap of 2-3mm for Weymouth floors where there is likely to be temperature variation beyond normal living conditions. Eg. Conservatories.

Our cleaning kits for lacquered floors are suitable for your Weymouth floor to keep them shining, alternatively use a well wrung damp mop.

The best way to conceal small scratches and marks on our Weymouth range is with Scratchfix – a quick and easy method to restore scratches on resilient floors.

No – Weymouth floors have built-in underlay therefore additional underlay should not be used. This can create additional bounce which can damage the joints. If you need to raise the height of the floor, then we recommend using plywood.
