Take your flooring expertise to the highest level with this intensive, hands-on training course designed for experienced installers and site professionals. Over three focused days, you’ll master complex subfloor scenarios, advanced LVT techniques, and real-world problem solving — all backed by British Standards and cutting-edge tools and systems.

Course Breakdown:

Day 1 – Advanced Sub-floor preparation & site evaluation

Get it right from the ground up – every time.

• Subfloor eecognition & risk assessment:
  In-depth evaluation of complex subfloor conditions including mixed substrates, historic buildings, and site anomalies.
• Advanced moisture testing & documentation:
  Comparative testing using hygrometers, carbide bomb, RH probes, and thermal imaging. Learn to log results for compliance, traceability, and warranty validation.
• Contamination removal techniques:
  Effective use of grinders, sanding systems, and HEPA extraction for safe, clean prep in sensitive or occupied environments.
• Dealing with challenging screeds:
  Best practices for working with calcium sulphate, anhydrite, case-hardened, and liquid cement screeds – including grinding, laitance removal, and priming.
• Crack diagnosis & repair:
  Structural vs. shrinkage cracks – choosing the right epoxy resins, repair mortars, and reinforcement methods.
• DPM selection for complex conditions:
  Multi-layer moisture control for damp or mixed substrates – when to use surface DPMs, sheet membranes, or hybrid systems.

Day 2 – Advanced Smoothing, Priming & Adhesive Systems

Perfect the prep – precision levels that prevent failure.

• Priming over difficult substrates:
  Tiling, steel, asphalt, and over old adhesives – choosing the right primer for optimal bond and performance.
• Multi-layer levelling systems:
  Learn to apply self-levelling and fibre-reinforced compounds in multi-layer builds. Includes ramping, patching, and high-tolerance finishes.
• Adhesive science – beyond the basics:
  Deep dive into adhesive technology – wet-lay, pressure sensitive, reactive resins, and dry adhesives. Includes suitability testing and installation timing.
• Using mixing stations & pin rakes for efficiency:
  Set up your site for large-scale installation success with tips on flow control, batch mixing, and application tools.
• WOLFF equipment masterclass:
  Full walkthrough of professional WOLFF hand and power tools for prep and install – including safe use, maintenance, and time-saving hacks.

Day 3 – LVT Installation Mastery: Design, Detail & Delivery

Achieve flawless installations in the most demanding layouts.

• Advanced setting out & planning:
  LVT installation planning for large, open spaces and intricate layouts – includes herringbone with border, diagonal with inlay, and feature areas.
• Precision cutting & pattern matching:
  Learn how to achieve perfect mitres, insets, and complex transitions using WOLFF hand tools and templates.
• Dealing with tricky obstacles:
  Real-world scenarios: fitting LVT around curves, pillars, awkward doorways, and under fixtures.
• Dry adhesive installation:
  Complete install of LVT using dry adhesive systems – when to use them and how to avoid failure.
• Stair nosing & vertical surfaces:
  Techniques for installing LVT on stairs and risers – includes nosing prep, adhesive choice, and mitring tips.
• Defect prevention & troubleshooting:
  Spot issues before they happen – from bubbling and gapping to bond failure and telegraphing.
• Final Q&A and competency check:
  Ask the experts, share site issues, and receive personalised advice from UZIN and WOLFF trainers.
