General Tips
• Make sure your work area is well lit. Good visibility ensures that color is consistent and that visually defective planks
are detected and removed.
• The remainder of the last plank can be used as a starter board on the following rows. The minimum length of the
first and last plank needs to be longer then the width of the material being installed.
• Leave 3/4” expansion gap around perimeters, under doors and around vertical objects, including permanent or
fixed cabinetry.
• Using a shorter piece at undercut door jams will help when fitting flooring in place.
• Most often the entire length of the last row will need to be cut so that it is narrow enough to fit the remaining
space.
Glue-Down Installation Tips
• Always refer to the specific instructions on the flooring adhesive label. The information given here is for typical
installation. Adjust it according to adhesive manufacturer’s instruction.
• Use trowel as specified by adhesive manufacturer.
• Continuously check the transfer of adhesive THROUGHOUT the installation process. If the adhesive no longer
transfers to the back of the flooring material, it must be removed and new adhesive applied.
• Work your way out of the room.
• After the installation is completed, keep the floor free from daily foot traffic for a minimum of 24 hours to allow
adhesive to properly cure.
