SPC Technical Notes
Acclimation: Store boxes flat in the installation room for 48 hours at 65–85°F and 35–65% relative humidity before installing.
Subfloor: Flat to within 3/16 inch over 10 feet. Fill low spots and grind high points before installation.
Moisture barrier: A 6-mil polyethylene moisture barrier is required over concrete subfloors. Not required over wood subfloors that pass moisture testing.
Installation: Floating click installation. Leave 1/4-inch expansion gap at all walls and fixed objects. Do not glue or nail.
Maintenance: Sweep or dry-mop regularly. Clean with a damp mop and pH-neutral cleaner. Never use wax, polish, steam mops, or abrasive cleaners.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the 8.5mm thickness?
Denali’s 8.5mm 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, minimizing gaps or movement over time.
Can this floor be installed over existing flooring?
Yes, in most cases. Denali can float over existing hard flooring that is flat, structurally sound, and no more than 3/4 inch above the finished floor threshold. Always remove carpet before installing.
How do I clean this floor?
Sweep or dry-mop Denali regularly to remove dust and grit. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid steam mops, wax, and oil-based products.
Is this floor pet-friendly?
Yes. Denali’s 20 mil wear layer resists scratches from pet claws, and the 100% waterproof SPC core handles pet accidents without any damage to the plank or subfloor.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Denali is built on a 100% waterproof SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water or moisture exposure — making it safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
