CircoFloor Manual

The CircoFloor system is largely mounted on a work table, so you can work comfortably without straining your back.

Start by placing the first structure plate on the table.

Take the second structure plate and click it sideways into the first structure, so that they are firmly connected.

Pay attention to the installation direction; make sure all structures are installed in the same direction for correct assembly.

Add the third structure plate to the whole.

Check the direction on the inside of the structure; the arrow-shaped ribs indicate the correct direction of installation.

Also at the top, arrows point in the correct direction.

Place the fourth structure plate on the table and connect it to the previous plates.

Correct orientation is critical to ensure thread alignment and proper fit of the set screw.

Place a structure plate upside down and in the same direction in the middle and click it into place on the four surrounding structure plates.

Tip: To work even faster and easier, assemble several pieces next to each other on the table.

Place a set screw in the center to connect the four lower structure plates to the upper one.

Although a flathead screwdriver will do, it is faster with a screwdriver. Tip: grind down a flathead screwdriver to use as a bit in the screwdriver.

Adjust the adjustment screw to the desired height.

This saves time during installation.

Place the first assembled part on the substrate.

Don't forget to place construction foil on the substrate to prevent rising damp.

Make a second assembly and connect it sideways to the first part.

Still paying attention to the placement direction of the structural plates.

Determine the correct height of the CircoFloor system using a reference point.

Use a wooden slat with a pencil line to easily adjust the system to the correct height.

Now also make sure that both assemblies are adjusted to the correct height.

Connect the two assemblies by placing an additional structural plate in between (without clicking them together).

Push the additional structure plate slightly deeper into the other inverted structure plates, without pushing them away.

Screw the black adjustment screw into the center of the additional structure plate (with 4 meeting corners at the bottom) and let the threads engage the upper structure and the lower structures.

It helps to push the structural plates together by hand while screwing through the threaded holes.

It is important that the structures pull towards each other when turning the adjustment screw. This way everything clicks together and the structures form a strong whole.

Check with each adjustment screw that all structures are nicely connected. If necessary, loosen the screw again and try again.

Please note that the side-left click systems are always neatly fitted together and not as shown in the photo.

Build the system further. Once an L-shape is created, the whole thing becomes more stable.

Continue building the CircoFloor system according to the space you wish to cover.

Place the structure plates on top again and fix the whole thing with adjusting screws for extra stability.

Now insert the green fixing screws to firmly connect the top four structure plates to the underlying structure plate.

Continue building the system until the entire floor area is covered.

Use a grinding wheel with an iron cutting disc to easily grind the system to size at the top and bottom.

By stacking multiple systems on top of each other and using a larger grinding wheel, you can cut multiple structures to length at once.

Finish the edges of the system with the custom cut pieces.

Depending on the top layer, you can fit the wall precisely or less precisely.

When using a thicker OSB board on the structural boards, it is acceptable to stay a few centimetres from the edge.

Always pay attention to the direction of the cut pieces, this is important so that you can use the double thread afterwards.

Place set screws in the threaded holes close to the wall for added support.

Preferably choose holes with double threads for extra load-bearing capacity.

Screw the remaining green fixing screws into the structural plates for a solid construction.

In addition to each black adjustment screw, there is the option to attach up to four frame screws to the surface.

With a wooden surface, pre-drilling is not necessary and you place a frame screw every 1 m² for extra strength.

For a concrete surface, first drill a hole with a diameter of 6 mm through the existing hole in the structure and then screw in the frame screw.

Do not over tighten the screw to prevent the system from pulling apart. Once the screw is secured in the substrate, you can stop turning.

For a concrete surface, you place at least a few frame screws, so that the system is fixed. For certain floor coverings or applications, it is necessary to place a frame screw every 1 m².

The system is now perfectly level and firmly attached to the surface.

You can now fill the CircoFloor system with insulation material in the form of loose granules.

Use a brush or a lath to evenly distribute the granules until the system is completely filled, including the spaces below.

You will now notice that the sound of walking is greatly reduced and the floor feels of high quality.

You can easily press the loose insulation with a loose structural plate.

Once the system has been insulated, you can plate it and finish it as desired.

Screw OSB boards to the flat parts of the system. Use the structural boards as a template to determine where to screw.

Always use screws that have a thread along their entire length, without a flat shaft, for optimum grip.

Place 3 screws across the width of the OSB board every +- 40 cm

You can also create a template yourself that perfectly shows where you can screw.

This greatly simplifies the process of screwing the OSB to the CircoFloor system.

You can place utility lines under the system that remain accessible by partially and locally clicking or screwing the system apart.

If there is not enough height, consider the pipe as a wall and work around it with the CircoFloor system.

This is how you install the CircoFloor system in an efficient and high-quality manner.
