How to install it

This is a full-spread glue-down floor, not a click or loose-lay product. Follow the current Twelve Oaks Foundation Endure installation instructions. The product page calls for a site temperature of 18–27°C (65–80°F) and relative humidity of 35–55%. It can be installed over a radiant-heated subfloor if the warranty conditions are met, including a subfloor surface temperature no higher than 85°F (29°C). Plan on about 10% extra material for a straight layout and about 15% for a diagonal or heavy-cut layout.

Care

Follow the Twelve Oaks luxury vinyl care and maintenance guide. Clean everyday spills promptly. Twelve Oaks says the planks are highly moisture resistant, not waterproof, because no installation can guarantee a watertight seal. Standing liquid can eventually reach the subfloor.

Is Foundation Endure Driftwood waterproof?

Twelve Oaks describes the planks as highly moisture resistant, not waterproof. The collection’s waterproof warranty covers everyday spills and routine cleaning only if water is not allowed to seep underneath the floor. It does not cover flooding, prolonged standing water, or subfloor damage.

What warranty comes with it?

Thirty years residential and 12 years light commercial, for the original purchaser, on first-quality material bought from an authorized Twelve Oaks dealer, when installed with Twelve Oaks TOAD adhesive, Uzin KE 2000S, or an equivalent first approved by Twelve Oaks. Light commercial excludes heavy-traffic areas such as entry foyers, corridors, food-service spaces, and areas with heavy or repeated rolling loads. The warranty is non-transferable. Read the Foundation Endure warranty for the full terms and exclusions.
