Installation Recommendations

For installation, it is recommended to use a flexible tile adhesive when working with concrete or screed subfloors. For wooden subfloors, a combination of flexible tile adhesive along with screws and washers (approximately 15 fixings per board, spaced at 300mm centers) is advised. These boards have been tested with Instarmac Ultra Tile adhesives and levelling compounds, ensuring reliable performance.
