Empress questions
How is it installed?
It clicks together and floats directly on the subfloor. It cannot be glued, nailed or screwed, and extra underlay voids the warranty unless AST approves it.
Can it go in a bathroom or laundry?
AST calls it 100% waterproof, but its warranty covers dry residential use and the installation guide rules out wet areas with a floor waste. Talk to us before using it in a bathroom or laundry.
Does it work with underfloor heating?
Only over a hydronic heated slab, with the slab surface no hotter than 26°C. Other heating systems are not covered by the warranty.
