Preinstallation care & materials estimating Step 1. ● When transporting or storing floor prior to installation, do not kink or distort. ● Always roll flooring face out until ready to install. ● Just prior to installation, lay flooring out flat to acclimate to conditions. ● Flooring and room temperature should be a minimum of 65° F (18° C) for 48 hours preinstallation, during installation, and 48 hours after installation. Minimum 55° F (13° C) thereafter. ● Plan layout for minimum number of seams.
PLYWOOD If installing a new plywood subfloor, use APA Underlayment Grade. For new or existing plywood subfloors, check for loose panels, gapped joints, knots, nail holes, or other damage.

moisture changes, show a slightly raised area or buckle near a perimeter pinch point. Typically, if this happens, it will occur during prolonged periods of cold weather when indoor conditions become very dry and the wood subfloor/ underlayment components dry out and shrink. Should this happen and a buckle occurs, the flooring should be gently lifted or pulled back from the pinch point and retrimmed.
Apply installation tape Pantry Step 5. ● Before moving your flooring to installation area, it’s best to apply Acrylic Double-face Tape where needed at doorways and underneath heavy moveable appliances. (See diagram.) ● Tape should be placed in the form of a large X under the appliance. Do not overlap tape. Leave release liner on top surface of tape and press tape securely to the substrate using a dry cloth and hand pressure. Tape Tape at doorway Step 6.
Finish the job Step 9. ● Replace or install baseboard moldings or coved wall base to cover expansion zone (gap) around perimeter of room. Fasten molding to vertical surface; do not nail through new floor or into expansion zone. ● Leave a slight clearance between molding and flooring so any effects of seasonal movements in your home due to temperature or humidity changes will be minimized.
