Arrange planks to ensure even color distribution.

Remove existing base, shoe molding or threshold carefully. They can be used to cover the 3/4” expansion gap left around the
edge of the room.

Undercut doors and casings using a handsaw laid flat on a piece of scrap flooring. This eliminates difficult scribe cuts.
•
Always use protective foot/pad and proper height adapter plate on the fastening machine to prevent face damage, mallet
