●The ground moisture rate less than 20%, otherwise, the ground should be moisture-proof handle, moisture-proof processing mode can adopt waterproof coating is coated or laying plastic film.
●The ground should have sufficient strength, its surface quality shall be in conformity with the relevant provisions of the current national standard and specification.
● Ground flatness should meet the requirements of pavement, with 2m ruler for detecting the ground roughness, depends on the maximum chord feet and the ground should be≤5mm.
●The wall with the ground Yin angle in 200mm should be perpendicular to each other, smooth, concave convex roughness less than 1mm, more than errors shall carry out leveling cement or quick dry, not vertical or not smooth, should be resolved through consultation with the users.
●The ground should be clean.
●The ground should be no crack.
（3）Requirements for installation accessories

●Will be leveling the ground first, keels by nail shooting methods will wooden keel fixed on the ground.
●The keel and the wall or other materials are spaced 8-12mm.
●Keel should be carried out after the flatness and firmness to check, if uneven or unstable, can not be laid floor.
3.The plywood (thick splint) laying, plywood thickness above 9mm, plywood with the best anticorrosive paint anti-corrosion treatment. Plywood sawing into 1500px*3000px size; the gap between the plywood and plywood to stay around 20mm, and nailed to the ground.
4.Notice

（1）Coating
Brushing with roller coating, drying time is generally 1 hours, keep drying before the next process.
（2）Self leveling process
At the leveling cement and water mix proportion: cement: water =4:1.
