Professionals"
Objective: Provide a detailed guide on installing WPC Plank for flooring,
cladding, or decking, with practical tips.
Outline:
1. Introduction: Why Install WPC Planks?
● Highlight WPC’s DIY-friendly nature due to click-lock 
systems and lightweight profiles.
● Emphasize cost savings and ease for both homeowners 
and contractors.
2. Tools and Materials Needed
● List tools: Saw, drill, level, measuring tape, spacers, and 
Ruspert-coated fasteners (avoid zinc screws in coastal 
areas).
● Materials: WPC planks, underlayment (if needed), and 
adhesives (optional).
3. Preparation
● Ensure a flat, level subfloor or substrate to prevent 
deformation.
● Store WPC planks in a covered area to avoid dust or 
damage.
● Account for expansion gaps (1/8” between planks) for 
temperature changes.
4. Step-by-Step Installation
● Flooring: Measure the area, lay underlayment (if needed), 
and use click-lock or tongue-and-groove systems.
● Cladding: Secure planks to a frame with screws, ensuring 
even spacing and alignment.
● Decking: Attach to a substructure, using grooves for 
drainage and ventilation.
● Tips: Avoid PVC glue on surfaces to prevent discoloration.
5. Post-Installation Care
● Clean with water to remove dust; no painting or sealing 
required.
● Regular sweeping or mopping for indoor flooring; 
occasional washing for outdoor applications.
6. Common Mistakes to Avoid
● Overlooking expansion gaps, using incorrect fasteners, or 
installing on uneven surfaces.
● Ignoring manufacturer guidelines for specific WPC Plank 
products.
7. Conclusion: Start Your Project
● Reassure readers that WPC installation is achievable with 
proper planning.
● Suggest consulting suppliers like Parkett Hinterseer for 
quality planks.
