OUR RANGES OVERVIEW
Korlok Korlok features a beautiful collection of herringbone, planks and tiles in wood and stone designs. The product is quickly fitted together using a simple click-locking mechanism. This range has a solid 'rigid core' construction, which makes it less pliable and suitable for laying over uneven surfaces. If you're worried about noise, the acoustic backing reduces sound transfer to rooms below by 21dB, and there is no need for a separate underlay.
Palio Rigid Palio Rigid offers a timeless range of textured wood look planks, with an easy fit click-locking mechanism. This range also benefits from a rigid core construction, built- in underlay and reduces noise transfer to rooms below by 19dB.
11 wood planks 3 herringbone designs 8 stone tiles 3 tiles with InteGrout TM Rigid core Acoustic qualities 5G ® /2G TM click-locking mechanisms
Palio LooseLay Palio LooseLay offers a more flexible option, in both plank and tile. The product holds tight to the floor thanks to a combination of weight and a friction grip backing, making it easy to install and allowing individual planks or tiles to be uplifted if needed*. *For rooms larger than 16m 2 , tackifier is required. See installation guidelines.

IT’S OH SO QUIET... Shhhhh!
Comfortable interiors Walking, running, jumping or dropping objects are all disturbances that can be experienced from rooms above. Our floors have been designed to absorb such sounds to keep impact noise transfer to rooms below to a minimum.
Acoustic qualities If you're looking for a quieter life, then acoustics can be an important part of your decision making process when it comes to choosing your floor. For example, if you're thinking of fitting your floor in a playroom directly above a lounge, you may wish to have a higher acoustic rated floor. It will help prevent noise transfer from above which is perfect for when you wish to relax.

QUICK as a flash!
Rigid Core Rigid core is 30% quicker to install than other click floors. The ability to fit over most existing hard floors, or uneven subfloors means there is minimal subfloor preparation. The simple score and snap technique means there is no need for specialist tools.
Loose Lay Loose lay is fitted by placing planks or tiles tight to each other and to the perimeter of the room, often without the need for any adhesive*. There is no need to remove your skirting boards when fitting Palio LooseLay, so it really does save on the installation time.
Minimal installation time...

What subfloor are you installing on to?
Laying patterns
There are multiple ways to lay your floor depending on the design and style you are looking to achieve. Three of our Korlok designs are available in a herringbone fitting format, see page 23.
If you have subfloor imperfections choose...
Woods
Staggered
Herringbone
For flooring over a smooth, level concrete floor, there is no more you need to do. You can pick...
Brickbond

For an existing hard floor* or a floor you want to preserve, choose...
Stack bond

Existing floorboards need to be firmly fastened, gaps filled and level to install...
When fitting a rigid core floor, it's important to stagger the planks or tiles, to avoid weak spots in the floor. The simplicity of laying Palio LooseLay planks and tiles together, makes it a versatile option when considering laying patterns.
*With the exception of laminate which is normally recommended to be uplifted.

CHOOSE YOUR FLOOR BY COLOUR
Whether it's the mid tones of Tavolara which offer a modern Scandinavian feel, or the cool slate, grey tones of Nisida that offer a contemporary style, we have a colour option for every interior. The colour chart is grouped in light and dark shades, and warm to cool tones, to help you pick your colour at a glance. Our floors are designed to resemble their natural counterparts, meaning there is a natural colour variation throughout the ranges, just like any real wood or stone floor.
Any product codes which are pre-fixed with 'SM' are a click-locking herringbone design.

CAN I FIT IT? YES YOU CAN! Designed with you in mind Two easy to fit formats which make it possible to fit and forget in no time at all. All our Palio Express ranges can be easily cut with a utility knife, enabling a quick installation with little mess and minimal disruption.
What tools will I need? In most circumstances you’ll only need a couple of basic tools for a successful installation:
Korlok & Palio Rigid
Palio LooseLay
• Pencil • Utility knife • Tape measure • Ruler/straight edge • Spacers • Pull bar & hammer • Rubber mallet
• Pencil • Utility knife • Tape measure • Ruler/straight edge • Hand roller
For rooms larger than 16m 2 : • Tackifier • Paint tray & roller
For bathrooms etc: • Drill and spade bit (for cutting around pipework) • Jigsaw (for cutting curves)
Tip: To cut around a door frame or a bathroom pedestal,
creating a template that you can overlay on your
herringbone, plank or tile will provide a more accurate fit.

Rigid Core Simple steps to fitting Korlok & Palio Rigid *
Loose Lay Simple steps to fitting Palio LooseLay
To cut herringbone, plank or tile, use a utility knife and a ruler or straight edge, score the surface of the floor.
To cut a plank or tile, using a utility knife and a straight edge or ruler, score the surface of the plank/tile.
Once you have scored the surface of your floor, snap along the score.
Use your knife to fully separate. Undercut the plank or tile to get a sloping edge, this will then fit tightly against the edge of your room or another plank/tile.
Lay the plank or tile in place fitting it tight to the edge of the room and to another plank/tile. The friction grip backing will hold the product to the floor. A tackifier around the edge of the room is required for rooms larger than 16m 2 .
Click and lock your rigid core floor together. When fitting a rigid core floor, always use spacers to measure a 5mm minimum expansion gap around the edge of your room or fixed objects.

PLANNING YOUR SPACE
Draw your room layout here to calculate the number of boxes of flooring you will need for your installation.
You can also use this area to note any scotia or skirting boards you require.
Why not experiment with laying patterns too?
How do I calculate the Amount of floor I need?
Rectangular rooms can be calculated easily by multiplying the length by the width (see example 1). If your room isn’t a standard shape, try splitting the room into separate rectangles. Calculate the area of each rectangle, then simply add these values together to reach your total room dimensions (see example 2).
Example 1: A x B = total area
B
A
Example 2: (A x B) + (C x D) = total area

HELPFUL TIPS Shuffle Palio Express planks or tiles when removed from the packaging for a more natural look. Stagger joints with a minimum distance between the factory cut ends being equal to the width of the plank or tile. Korlok & Palio Rigid tips • Check whether you start your first row with a full plank or tile width. You don’t want your last row to be too narrow. Ideally, neither the first nor the last row should be cut smaller than half a plank or tile width. • Remember to leave a 5mm expansion
AFTER CARE Regular cleaning with Karndean Clean (or a pH neutral cleaner) will help keep your floor looking its best. Using Karndean Clean on your floor helps to break up and safely remove any germs that are on the surface, in the same way as using soap for washing your hands. 1. With a soft sweeping brush, remove any loose dirt or dust. 2. Add 50ml of Karndean Clean (1 notch represents 50ml) to approximately 8-10 litres of clean water. 3. Mop the mixed solution over the entire floor, removing any excess liquid. 4. Allow your floor to dry. To maintain the look and feel of your floor, make sure to use our 'remove and refresh' cleaning system every 6 to 12 months: • Karndean Remove helps to prepare your floor before applying Karndean Refresh. • Karndean Refresh creates a satin finish to your floor and helps protect it from marks and fine scratches.
gap around the room and any fixed objects. Finish your installation with a colour matched waterproof scotia.
• Korlok joins should be smooth to touch and almost invisible - where necessary, use a pull bar. • Be sure to cut the correct end to fit tongue to groove. • Stagger joints - no corners should ever meet. • Korlok herringbone - find the center of your room, or the central point when running continuously between rooms, to centralise the design. Palio Looselay tips • Undercut the plank or tile to get a sloping edge to ensure a tight fit to the perimeter of the room. Factory edges should be fitted together when joining planks/tiles. • Fit planks and tiles tight to each other and the perimeter of the room. • When cutting the end of a row, be sure to fit the factory cut end against the factory cut end. • Once you've decided which way your planks or tiles will run, work out how
many plank or tile widths fit across the room to ensure you don’t finish with a narrow piece. This will enable you to adjust the width of your first run to make it more balanced.
