LVT floors are suitable for any interior and with a wide choice of styles, you can create your own personal feel.
For even more comfort, it is recommended to combine a LVT floor with underfloor heating. Please note: Belakos LVT floors are not suitable in combination with infrared or electric underfloor heating. Consider alternative heating options to make the most out of the floor. Get expert advice, with over 800 Belakos points of sale there is always one nearby.

Heating-up and cool-down protocol
When floor heating is used for the first time, it is important that the heating-up and cooling-down protocol is maintained to prevent damage to the floor.
Heating protocol: This is always carried out after the installation of underfloor heating but before the LVT floor is laid. It
ensures that the subfloor and screed can cure properly, minimizing shrinkage and expansion stresses.
Cooling protocol: This is especially necessary when underfloor heating is used for floor cooling in the summer. The
temperature must be gradually lowered to prevent condensation and stress in the floor. In winter, cooling is not required,
as the underfloor heating is then kept at a comfortable temperature continuously.
Belakos uses the Uzin heating-up and cooling-down protocol for this purpose.
We do not recommend installing infrared or electric underfloor heating under a Belakos LVT floor.
If electric underfloor heating is necessary, it must be covered with at least 9 mm of suitable leveling compound. Direct
contact with electric underfloor heating must be avoided. The surface temperature must not exceed 27°C.
Installation period: Wait 72 hours after installing Dryback LVT and 48 hours after installing Click LVT before turning on
the underfloor heating.
Gradual heating: Increase the underfloor heating temperature gradually, in steps of 5°C per day, until the standard
surface temperature is reached. The maximum screed temperature must not exceed 27°C.
