- - Reduce movement and noise
- - Protect against subfloor moisture
- - Increase flooring lifespan
- - Improve acoustic performance
- - Create smoother floor transitions
- - Reduce the risk of installation issues

FAQ
Q1. What flooring installation materials do I need?
The products required depend on your flooring type, subfloor and installation method. Most flooring projects require a combination of underlay or adhesive, trims, stair nosings (where applicable),
scotia, expansion spacers and subfloor preparation products. If you're unsure, our team can help you select the right materials before you begin installation.
Q2. Do hybrid floors always need underlay?
Not always. Many SPC hybrid floors include an attached acoustic underlay, while others may require additional underlay depending on the product specifications, building requirements and subfloor
conditions. Always follow the flooring manufacturer's installation instructions.
Q3. Why is subfloor preparation important?
A smooth, clean and level subfloor is essential for a successful flooring installation. Uneven surfaces can cause movement, gaps, squeaking, locking system damage and premature wear. Floor levelling products help prepare the surface before installation.
Q4. What are floor transition trims used for?
Transition trims create a neat and safe connection between different flooring surfaces, such as hybrid flooring to tiles, timber to carpet or laminate to vinyl. They also help accommodate expansion gaps and protect flooring edges.
Q5. What is a stair nosing?
A stair nosing is fitted to the edge of each step to improve safety, protect the flooring edge and create a professional finish for stair installations.
Q6. How do I know which trim matches my flooring?
The best trim depends on the flooring thickness, adjoining floor surface and installation location. Our team can recommend the most suitable transition trim, reducer or stair nosing for your project.
Q7. Do you deliver flooring installation materials across Australia?
Yes. We offer Australia-wide delivery on selected flooring installation materials, with convenient pickup available from our Melbourne showroom and warehouse.
