Quality Control & Efficient Fitting

Impervia flooring undergoes rigorous quality control checks during production and packaging to ensure that our product reaches you in optimum condition. The profiling machines are checked daily for the accuracy of machining, and any maintenance required is carried out directly by Homag (the machinery manufacturers).

Production batches are continually checked for ease of locking when fitting, and for any damage to the profile after finishing and before packing.  This ensures that any sub-standard products are removed before they leave our factory.

Fitting of Planks and Herringbone Impervia.

Generally, planks are easier and quicker than fitting the herringbone as they come in wide long planks. You use the same tools and techniques for both with just one difference in the installation of herringbone products.

You can see numerous videos on our website but some useful links are below.

How to quickly install Impervia Herringbone:

The most important points to remember when installing Impervia Herringbone flooring are as follows:

Open the cartons and sort the left- and right-handed pieces into two piles.

NEVER try and slide the pieces in. You must “push fit” each piece at a 45-degree angle and then hammer down the end to lock it together. The piece that you are locking together must be lined up correctly, which can be seen in the image below.

You must follow the correct process of fitting and the videos below show how to lay out the herringbone and where to start with the left- and right-handed pieces.

The video link here shows the correct way to layout and install.  Halfway, you will see the initial layout where they started against the wall.

If you try and slide each piece in, you will never get the best fit. Always line up the ends perfectly and then push down and in.

To fully lock the herringbone, make sure you hammer the end in.

To fully lock the herringbone, make sure you hammer the end in.

Make sure you use a plastic or nylon hammer to give sufficient “shock” to the ends, allowing you to fully lock each piece together. You must do this before going on to the next. If you feel it is not locking properly, then it is probably down to not fully push fitting the piece into the groove of the locking profile.

The most important thing to do when installing the herringbone is to use the plastic or nylon headed mallet to fully tap down the ends, which you can see in the short video INSTALLING  IMPERVIA HERRINGBONE. This is the most crucial part of the installation to ensure everything is locked together. Do not hesitate to bang hard as you will not damage the surface.
