SPC Technical Notes
Acclimation: Store boxes flat in the installation room for 48 hours at 60–80°F and 35–55% relative humidity before installing.
Subfloor: Must be flat to within 3/16 inch over 10 feet. Fill low spots and grind high points before installation.
Moisture barrier: Required over concrete subfloors. Use a 6-mil polyethylene sheet. Not required over wood subfloors that pass moisture testing.
Installation: Floating click system. Leave 1/4-inch expansion gap at all walls and fixed objects. Do not glue or nail.
Maintenance: Sweep or dry-mop regularly. Damp mop with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner. Never use steam mops, wax, or abrasive cleaners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the advantage of the 10mm thickness?
Matilda’s 10mm total thickness delivers exceptional rigidity and a premium underfoot feel that thinner planks cannot match. It also provides superior dimensional stability across temperature and humidity changes.
Q: What is the IIC/STC sound rating?
The Black Series achieves high IIC and STC ratings through its multi-layer eSPC core and IXPE underlayment — delivering effective noise reduction for condos, apartments, and upper-level rooms.
Q: Can I install this floor over existing tile?
Yes, provided the tile is firmly bonded, flat to within 3/16 inch over 10 feet, and the added height does not interfere with doors or transitions. Grout lines deeper than 1/8 inch should be filled.
Q: How do I clean this floor?
Sweep or dry-mop Matilda regularly. Damp mop with a pH-neutral vinyl cleaner for deeper cleaning. Never use steam mops, wax, polishes, or abrasive cleaners.
Q: Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Matilda is built on a 100% waterproof SPC rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water exposure — safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
