No, our Homestead flooring planks cannot be installed over carpet. As with all Unilin™ Licensed click angle/angle technology our flooring planks must be installed over a smooth, hard surface flooring or a substrate, free of deflection. Installing our floors over carpet will void the Homestead Flooring factory warranty. 

No, it is not ok to install kitchen cabinets over-top of Homestead Flooring. We suggest to install kitchen cabinets before installing our Homestead Flooring planks. This includes kitchen islands. Our flooring is meant to be used as a floating floor. The weight of the cabinetry and counter top could over-time potentially cause damage to the integrity of the click mechanism of the floor. Installing cabinetry over-top the flooring planks will void the factory limited warranty. 

Homestead Flooring planks from time to time may have slight color variations between production runs. These variations, although infrequent, can be more noticeable in lighter shades. When using lighter tone shades, it is best to check the production run number, which is indicated on the label on the short side/(end) of the carton. If you find that you have cartons from different production runs, it is highly recommended that you open 5-6 cartons and install a mix of planks from each different production run. Continuing to use planks from multiple boxes as the installation goes along. This will result in a more natural looking floor.

No, our Homestead Flooring plank cannot be installed in a non climate-controlled environment. Homestead Flooring planks are intended strictly for indoor use in a climate controlled environment. Post installation temperature must be maintained between 55˚and 85˚ F.
