General Disclaimer: Never drill into a slab that has radiant heating installed. Be aware of potential gas, electrical, water or low
voltage lines present in the slab before starting your project. If unsure about these circumstances, we strongly recommend to
use a glue down installation instead (See Page 4). The glue down option would require a high quality construction adhesive.
Step 4

Use your preferred method of screw dowel combo:
A - Screw + 0.375 x1.25” Wooden Dowel Pin:
With
#6 x 1" screws, this option will give you a little bit more flexibility
in case the drill holes are not 100% in line with the trackholes.
Make sure you drive the wooden dowel flush with the concrete,
if it sits a bit high, scrape it flush with a chisel!
B - Screw + Plastic All-Purpose Anchor:
Start all screws
in each hole before you tighten one all the way down. This will
ensure that all holes line up properly with the track.

Step 3
Lay the track aside, and drill into the concrete floor by
means of a 1/4" masonry drill bit. Make sure the drill does
not 'dance' off the mark when starting to drill, as it will
otherwise bend the track when affixing to the floor. Drill
only as deep as your selection of dowel/screw combo
requires. Never drill deeper then 1-1/2" into the concrete!
Use Shim
as Guide
NOTE: Carpet Tap Down trim must
be even with the top of the track.
Install the flooring plank* and carpet (using a carpet tap
down trim) by leaving a 1" inch (25mm) gap for the installa-
tion of the SlimTrim. Position the track 3/4” from where the
of the Tap Down trim meets the carpet. The carpet tap
down trim must be no less than 1/8” from top of track. Use
shim to make track and tap down trim even, then remove
shim.
Gently press the molding into the track starting from one
end to the other just like you would close a Zip-Lock bag.
!!! Do not try to push the entire molding in all at once
by just pressing it in from top !!!

Step 2
Measure the door frame to determine width. Cut the
Versatrack to the appropriate size of the door opening,
leave a 1/2” gap on each side. Lay the Versatrack in the
position to be installed, and mark each of the holes with a
marker/pencil on the concrete floor. Make sure that the
track does not shift while marking each hole.
