On October 1, NOLINA officially opened its new warehouse and showroom in Burgas. The event brought together partners, clients, architects, interior designers and friends of the company from the city and the region, as well as representatives of our international partners.

An Investment in the Future of the Region

Burgas is a city of dynamism, growth and European spirit, values that are close to NOLINA's own philosophy. The city is of key importance to the business thanks to its active construction sector, the development of residential, commercial and tourism projects, and the lasting partnerships built over the years.

"This investment is more than just another step in our development. It is a look toward the future of the region and a place that matches the new level we are striving for," said the NOLINA team during the opening.

A Showroom Created for Professionals

The new showroom has been designed with architects, designers, distributors and builders in mind, as a space for ideas, inspiration and professional meetings. Here they will find not only floor coverings, wall cladding and decorative solutions, but also complete space concepts, selected according to the latest global trends.

The space is conceived as a place for meetings, training, exchange of ideas and new partnerships, where projects find their best solution.

A Warehouse for Faster and More Convenient Delivery

The showroom is complemented by NOLINA's regional warehouse, with an area of over 2,000 m². This brings stock closer to our customers and shortens project lead times in Burgas and the surrounding area.

Nearly 30 Years of Growth

NOLINA began in 1997 as a family business with the idea of offering the Bulgarian market new, different and practical solutions for interiors and construction. Over time, the company has expanded its portfolio and built a network of partners and locations across the country. Its drive to combine design, quality, functionality and ease of installation remains unchanged.

On the day of the opening, NOLINA thanked its international partners for their long-standing trust, as well as the architects, designers, contractors, suppliers and the entire team whose work made the project a reality.

Welcome to NOLINA's new home in Burgas!

Installing SPC floors seems easy, but even small mistakes can lead to problems such as deformations, heaving and even complete damage to the flooring. In this article, we will look at the 5 most common mistakes that lead to complaints, and show you how to avoid them for a perfect and long-lasting floor! 

If you are an installer, these rules will guarantee you a perfect installation and satisfied customers! 

1. Neglecting acclimatization 

Problem: The panels shrink or expand after installation, which causes deformations. 

Solution: Leave them in the room for 24-48 hours at a temperature of 18-30°C, if they were transported below +5°C, extend the acclimatization time to 48 hours. 

 

Important: The panels must be acclimatized in a horizontal position to avoid bending. Turn off the underfloor heating system (if any) 24 hours before installation 

2. Installation on an uneven or unprepared base 

Problem: The panels do not lock properly, the floor moves and sinks. 

 

Solution: 

• Even base: Tolerances – up to 1 mm per 20 cm or 2 mm per 1 m. 

• Clean base: Vacuum thoroughly. 

• Moisture control: Cement screed – below 2.0% moisture. Anhydrite screed – below 1.5% moisture. With underfloor heating – even lower values: 1.5% and 0.3%. 

 

Mistake: Installation on unsuitable flooring such as carpets – SPC flooring requires a stable base! 

 

Vinyl flooring requires an extremely flat floor. The type of substrate, its quality and preparation, especially any unevenness, have a decisive impact on the final result. The panels are suitable for installation on cement and anhydrite floors, self-leveling (self-leveling) screeds and other flat floors. Laying vinyl panels in a floating system does not require sophisticated equipment, such as when laying tiles, or any special skills. But to do it right and enjoy a beautiful floor for years, we need to start with solid floor preparation. Let's check if the floor is flat - or we can level out the unevenness with a self-leveling screed. If we intend to lay vinyl panels on tiles, we need to fill the joints. A well-prepared base must be clean, stable, flat and dry. The maximum deviations are specified each time by the manufacturer. 

 

3. Using the wrong or missing underlay 

Problem: The floor becomes unstable, the click is unprotected and the warranty is void. 

Solution: 

• Use the right underlay - Multiprotec Vinyl or Secura Vinyl Click. 

• Place the underlay perpendicular to the floor plan. 

• Secure it well – connect the joints with Arbiton aluminum tape for maximum stability. 

• With underfloor heating – choose an underlay with low thermal resistance. 

 

Did you know? SPC floor without underlay or with the wrong underlay = shorter life and noisy floor!

 

Installing vinyl panels in a floating floor system is similar to installing laminate panels. It starts with choosing the right underlay, selected in accordance with the requirements of the floor manufacturer. You should always read the floor installation instructions to make sure that the warranty conditions will be met. We install vinyl click flooring – the right choice of underlay. Although we are laying the floor on an existing floor, we should not forget about the underlay for vinyl panels. This will provide, above all, a more stable surface. It will also reduce noise in the room and protect our vinyl panels from damage. The locks are a particularly vulnerable part of the planks, which, if not secured with a suitable underlay, can suffer micro-damage over time, which will affect the quality of use of the entire floor. So let's remember that the underlay is the foundation of a beautiful and durable vinyl floor.

4. If the panel does not click easily – do not press, but check what is wrong! 

Problem: Incorrectly joined panels lead to displacement and damage to the grooves. 

 

Solution: What is the correct technique for 5G Välinge! 

1. First the long side – place the panel at a slight angle and slide it into the groove. 

2. Then the short side – press slightly from the corner towards you. 

3. Do not use excessive force! If the groove does not close easily, do not press! Check for debris and correct the angle.

If the groove does not close easily, do not press! 

 

5. Forgetting about expansion joints

Choosing a floor is not just a technical decision. It is laying the foundation for the entire interior. The new Arbiton WOODRIC collection transports us into a world of authenticity, where technology meets nature. We present the eight new favorites defining the trends of 2026.

1. Cashmere Oak - CW307
Neutral modern minimalism.

It is enough to say CRAFTED! For fans of "quiet luxury" and tranquility. Cashmere Oak is the definition of the Light Natural category – clean, balanced, and exceptionally stylish. It offers earthy tones of muted beige combined with hints of ash and warm gray. It pairs flawlessly with natural stone, linen fabrics, warm white tones, or olive green.

2. Como Oak - CW302
Scandinavian balance: sand and natural wood.

In this decor, we find the bridge between nature and modern design. It recreates the look of freshly cut wood – natural, raw, yet soft. A warm sandy color without reddish undertones. The lack of sharp transitions makes it extremely homogeneous. An ideal choice for both light, airy spaces and interiors with strong contrast. It doesn't limit the colors in the interior; it complements them. It provides a sense of peace and harmony, suitable for bedrooms and relaxation zones.

3. Silva Oak - CW304
Light and textured rustic style.

If you are looking for the character of real wood, Silva Oak is your choice. Inspired by the aesthetics of whitewashed oak, this model focuses on a strongly pronounced structure. It features a light, radiant base with clear wood grains. This is definitely the undisputed favorite of the 2026 collection because it brings dynamics to the space without overwhelming it.

4. Cordoba Oak - CWA305
Amber coziness – warm tones and subtle rustic flair.

Cordoba is for those who want their floor to radiate warmth without dominating the space, while still providing a definitive color accent. Gentle micro-knots give it an authentic yet refined look. With its warm and rich amber hues, it is ideal for creating contrast with graphite gray or black. Use it in industrial interiors with metal elements to soften their stark appearance.

5. Genoa Oak - CWA306
Urban dynamics – modern style in smoky shades.

Genoa Oak is the decor with the greatest presence. Its slightly smoky elements create a rhythm that brings the room to life. The pattern is more dynamic, making it ideal for larger, open-plan living spaces where the floor can serve as a focal point. Combine it with matte surfaces and pastel colors (pale blue or sage) for a balanced urban look.

6. Glenmore Oak - CWA300
Universal balance – medium intensity and organic look.

If you are looking for the "middle ground," Glenmore is it. It is neither too cold nor too warm—a true chameleon that adapts to your lighting. Fine knots and precise sanding give the material an organic, living appearance. This decor is the most balanced natural oak in the collection. Use it as a base for minimalist design. It allows for any color accents in your decoration, as the floor itself is visually "quiet."

7. Lorenzo Oak - CW303
Softness and practicality – beige shades.

Flowing beige tones create an illusion of space, and the specific relief offers a practical bonus. Lorenzo Oak is the solution for small rooms. It is a warm and harmonious decor with light natural shades that blend smoothly, giving the floor "life" without looking cluttered. It is exceptionally suitable for homes with an active lifestyle, as its structure hides scratch marks. Combine with furniture on legs to emphasize the floor's airiness.

8. Weston Oak - CWA301
Timeless classic – natural coloring.

Weston is for fans of real, unadulterated wood. Here, "imperfections" are the intended effect—the visible features of the wood emphasize its origin. This is a highly realistic model with natural coloring that highlights the wood's authenticity, featuring medium saturation and visible wood "defects." It pairs perfectly with natural materials in any interior.
