My car is not in the catalog

How to clean my Tapkar rug

Tapkar is easy to clean: remove from the car, wash with water and mild soap using a soft brush, and let it dry in the shade. The semi-open weave traps dirt at the bottom — just shake it out or use a vacuum cleaner for daily cleaning. Do not use abrasive products or bleach.

Does Tapkar have a strong smell?

Tapkar doesn't use glue — which eliminates the strong odor common in conventional car mats. The faint new vinyl scent naturally disappears in a few days. To speed up the process, simply air out the car.

Can I return it if I don't like it?

If for any reason you are not satisfied, you can return it within 30 days free of charge. No red tape, no questions asked. We are so confident in Tapkar that we put it in the contract.

Does Tapkar have a warranty?

Yes! It has a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Vinyl Flooring

Can I install vinyl flooring over my existing ceramic or porcelain tiles?

Yes—and this is one of the biggest advantages of vinyl flooring. It can be installed directly over ceramic, porcelain, polished marble, and polished granite, with no need for demolition.

Mandatory conditions: The surface must be clean, dry, and level. Loose, broken, or uneven pieces with a height difference greater than 3mm must be corrected before installation—otherwise, the problem with the subfloor will appear in the new flooring.

Does the subfloor need to be level? How do I check?

Yes. The maximum tolerated unevenness is 2mm per linear meter. Greater irregularities must be corrected with self-leveling compound before installation.

To check at home: pass a straight ruler or broom handle over the floor. If there is a visible gap or undulation, the subfloor needs correction. Unevenness that seems small to the naked eye is enough to cause open seams and bubbles over time.

Attention: Most problems reported with vinyl flooring—bubbles, opening seams, detachment—originate from a poorly prepared subfloor, not the product.

How do I check for moisture in the subfloor?

Use the plastic sheet test: tape a piece of plastic approximately 50x50cm to the floor, sealing all edges. Wait 24 hours. If condensation or dripping appears on the inside of the plastic, there is rising damp – and installation should not be done before treating the subfloor.

Untreated moisture is the main cause of bubbling and detachment in glued vinyl floors.

Need glue? Which one to use?

Sheet and glue-down planks (Ecokap, Strongkap): Require a high-strength acrylic adhesive specifically designed for vinyl flooring. Apply the adhesive with a trowel or appropriate roller, and wait 15 to 30 minutes before laying the flooring — the adhesive needs to be at the right consistency (slightly dry to the touch) to adhere properly.

Click-lock flooring (Praticlick / SPC): No adhesive needed. The planks interlock using a 2G click system, which is dry and quiet. Ideal for those who want to install without mess or waiting for curing time.Always consult the product's technical data sheet or speak with our team to confirm the system of the chosen model.

How do I calculate the square footage I need to buy?

Measure the length and width of the room and multiply. Then add the safety margin:

Straight or transverse installation: add 10% to the total square footage.
Diagonal installation: add 15%.

The margin covers cuts, adjustments, and any pieces damaged during installation.

Important:Purchase all the necessary square footage at once. Different manufacturing batches may have slight variations in shade — imperceptible individually, but visible when placed side by side.

Can I install it in a bathroom, kitchen, or other wet areas?

Yes. Kapazi vinyl flooring is waterproof and can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other wet areas — including to maintain the same visual standard in all rooms of the house.

The only exception is the shower stall, where direct and constant contact with water can compromise the adhesion over time.

Attention: In wet areas, always test the subfloor for moisture before installation. The flooring's impermeability does not compensate for a base with rising dampness.

Can it be installed on a balcony, in an outdoor area, or in direct sunlight?

Kapazi vinyl flooring is suitable for indoor environments. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade and deform the material over time.

For covered balconies not exposed to direct sunlight, please consult our team — feasibility depends on the model and space conditions. For outdoor areas, Kapazi offers specific solutions such as artificial turf and rubber flooring.

Which product to choose — underlayment, leveling strip, or SPC click?

Sheet (0.5mm, 0.7mm, or 1.5mm): The most economical option. Ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and residential areas with light to medium traffic. Glued installation, continuous look without visible seams.

Glued Plank (Ecokap / Strongkap): Individual pieces that make replacement easy in case of localized damage — no need to replace the entire floor. Strongkap has a commercial rating and greater resistance to traffic.

SPC Click (Praticlick): The most impact-resistant. Dry installation without glue, can be removed and reinstalled. 12-year residential warranty. Recommended for those who want more durability and practicality.

Do I need to leave space on the edges?

Yes — and this detail is crucial. Leave a space of 8 to 10mm between the floor and all walls, doorframes, pillars, and fixed furniture. This space allows the floor to naturally expand and contract with temperature variations.

Without this space, the floor pushes against the walls, and the joints start to open, or the material deforms. The space is covered by the baseboard — no one sees it, but it makes all the difference.

Attention: Do not attach the baseboard to the floor — only to the wall. If the baseboard locks the floor, it will prevent expansion and cause damage.

How long should I wait before using the environment after installation?

Glued flooring: Wait 48 to 72 hours before walking on the floor or moving furniture. The adhesive needs this time to cure completely — foot traffic before then can dislodge the pieces.

Click-lock flooring (Praticlick / SPC): Can be used immediately after installation — no adhesive, no waiting.

How to clean vinyl flooring daily?

Daily cleaning: Soft broom or vacuum cleaner. Remove dirt before it accumulates in the joints.

Wet cleaning: Well-wrung cloth with water and mild soap. The cloth should be damp—not soaking wet.

Stains: Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use diluted mild detergent.Avoid:Abrasive products, acids, bleach, wax, sealant, and steam mops. The heat from the steam can soften the adhesive of glued models and deform the material.

Does the flooring scratch easily? Can it withstand heavy furniture?

It depends on the line. Praticlick (SPC) and Strongkap have higher scratch and impact resistance — ideal for families with pets and children.

For all models, we recommend placing felt protectors on the feet of heavy furniture. Dragging sofas, tables, and cabinets directly across the floor can cause permanent marks on any flooring.

What is the warranty for Kapazi vinyl flooring?

Warranty varies by product line:

Praticlick (SPC Click): 12 years residential
Ecokap: 10 years residential
Strongkap: 5 years light commercial use / 12 years residential

The warranty covers proven manufacturing defects. Damages caused by incorrect installation, use of unsuitable cleaning products, or exposure to conditions for which the product is not intended are not covered. If in doubt about coverage, please contact our customer service with a photo of the problem and your invoice.
