● Replace or install baseboard moldings or coved wall base to cover expansion
z
one (gap) around perimeter of room. Fasten molding to vertical surface; do
not nail through new floor or into expansion zone.
● L
eave 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. Should a small bubble or buckle occur, the
flooring should be gently lifted or pulled back from the
pinch point and retrimmed.
● If the flooring shows fullness at a doorway or other
area where tape has been applied, gently lift from the
tape and push out the fullness and rebond. Use a fresh
section of tape if necessary.
● At doorways where new flooring meets another floor
surface, use a trim molding that covers the edge of the
floor.
CAUTION: Most damage to new floors is done when moving kitchen appli-
ances. Caution should be observed so any heavy objects, particularly kitchen
appliances, do not catch and tear material. When moving heavy objects into
place, use hardboard or underlayment panels to protect floor. Use strips of
hardboard under feet of appliances as they are moved into final position. Tilt
appliance slightly to remove strips.
To further protect against heavy, sharp-edged furniture and appliance legs, the
use of floor protectors is recommended. A sales associate can help select the
right protectors.
