GENERAL

• The limitations of Jasper floors are few.
• Jasper flooring is suitable for installation in almost any residential building.
• lt can be installed over concrete slabs or hard surface floors.
• However, wooden floors are sensitive to wet, extreme humidity and extreme drought. At installation, the rule to apply in order to extend the lifetime of the floor, is that relative atmospheric humidity (RH) should be between 45% and 60%.

USE WITH HEATED FLOORING

• lt can be installed over properly installed heated slabs that do NOT heat to a temperature over 27C, and have been activated for at least three weeks prior to installation.
• Before installation, the floor heating must be switched off. lt can only be switched on 2-3 days after installation to give time for the glue to dry.
• Jasper does NOT warrant Kempas, Maple, Pecan, Jatoba and Beech over a radiant heated sub-floor.

USE IN KITCHENS

• Prevent direct water contact.

AESTHETIC NATURE

• Jasper is made entirely of genuine, aesthetic and beautiful natural wood.
• ln order to maintain its beauty, placing a quality doormat on both the inside and outside of entrances is recommended to prevent scratches caused by abrasive grit and dirt.
• Being made of genuine wood, every board is unique and therefore no photographs or samples can be exactly reproduced with exact colors, grains and tint.

DOs

• Support furniture and heavy appliances with widebearing, non-staining glides or casters.
• Move appliances and furniture into place by sliding them slowly over the floor on a clean piece of carpet turned upside-down.
• Place area rugs in high traffic concentrated areas to make long term maintenance easier and less expensive.
