2. Safety Instructions

• Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and structurally sound before installation.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses during installation.
• Store flooring planks in their original packaging in the room where they will be installed for at least 48 hours prior to installation to allow for acclimatization.
• Keep children and pets away from the installation area to prevent accidents.
• Dispose of waste materials responsibly according to local regulations.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water, despite the water-resistant properties. Wipe up spills promptly.

3. Setup and Installation

The EGGER Aquadura Hybridboden features the Aqua CLIC it! click system for straightforward installation. Each package contains 8 planks, covering a total area of 1.995 m². A detailed installation guide is included with each package.

3.1 Preparation

1. Acclimatization: Allow the sealed packages of flooring to acclimatize in the installation room for at least 48 hours at a stable room temperature (18-25°C) and relative humidity (50-60%).
2. Subfloor: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, flat, and free of cracks. Any unevenness greater than 3mm over 1 meter should be leveled.
3. Vapor Barrier: For mineral subfloors (concrete, screed), install a suitable vapor barrier to protect against residual moisture.
4. Integrated Underlay: The flooring comes with an integrated impact sound insulation mat made from recycled natural fibers, eliminating the need for an additional underlay.

3.2 Installation Steps

1. Begin laying the first row of planks along the longest wall, ensuring a consistent expansion gap of 10-15mm from the wall using spacers.
2. Connect planks end-to-end by angling and dropping them into place using the Aqua CLIC it! system.
3. For subsequent rows, angle the long side of the new plank into the previously laid row and then gently press down to engage the click mechanism on the short end.
4. Stagger the end joints of adjacent rows by at least 30cm for stability and aesthetic appeal.
5. Cut planks to size using appropriate tools, ensuring clean cuts.
6. Install matching skirting boards (e.g., L667) and corner elements after the flooring is laid to cover expansion gaps.

5. Maintenance and Care

Maintaining your EGGER Aquadura Hybridboden is simple due to its dirt-repellent and easy-care surface. Regular cleaning will preserve its appearance and longevity.

• Daily Cleaning: Use a soft broom, vacuum cleaner with a hard floor attachment, or a damp mop. Ensure the mop is well-wrung to avoid excessive moisture.
• Spills: Wipe up any spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Although water-resistant, prolonged exposure to standing water should be avoided.
• Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, pH-neutral floor cleaner specifically designed for laminate or hybrid flooring. Avoid abrasive cleaners, waxes, or polishes.
• Protection: Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches. Place doormats at entrances to trap dirt and grit.
• Avoid: Do not use steam cleaners, highly acidic or alkaline cleaning agents, or steel wool, as these can damage the surface.
