Instructions / Assembly

the pipe or object, plus 1/2 inch for expansion/contraction. Click the two short sides of the boards
together, then drill the hole centered on the joint between the boards as shown. Now you can separate
the two boards and install as normal. See Diagrams 6A – 6C.
Transitions, moldings, and wall base:
All transition pieces should be attached to the subfloor using the track supplied with the molding, or glue
down using a high grade contractor adhesive, dependent on the transition purchased. If adhered, be sure the
transition sits firmly in the adhesive, and take care not to get any adhesive on the flooring. Remove any
adhesive from the surface immediately with mineral spirits and buff off any residue with a dry soft cloth. It
may be necessary to place heavy weights on the transition until the adhesive dries to ensure it will lay flat.
Never attach the transitions directly to the flooring.
Finishing The Job:
Inspect your work, as it will cost you more if you have to come back to do a repair later. Replace original
baseboards, or install matching hardwood baseboard. Install matching transitions as needed or recommended
by your dealer or installer. It is not recommended or necessary to seal this floor after installation. Protect your
floor from scratches by using felt pads on chair legs or furniture feet. Plastic rollers/castors can damage your
flooring; if necessary try to replace with softer rubber wheels/castors. When moving heavy items like
refrigerators, use at least two sheets of 1/4" Masonite or plywood while moving (sliding the appliance from
one sheet to the next) to protect the flooring against scratching and denting.
Congratulations!
You have just installed a beautiful, and elegant vinyl Floor!
Floor Maintenance
• Frequently moved furniture (chairs) should be equipped with felt pads to avoid scratching the floor and
checked regularly. Heavy furniture and appliances should be equipped with non-staining large surface
floor protectors. Furniture with castors or wheels must be easy swiveling, large surface non-staining and
suitable for resilient floors. Do not use ball type castors as they can damage the floor.
• Avoid exposure to long periods of direct sunlight. Close blinds or drapes during peak sunlight hours
• Use walk-off mats at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked on to the floor.
• Sweep or vacuum the floor regularly to remove loose dirt. Avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar.
• Avoid rubber backed mats not approved for vinyl flooring.
• Clean up spills immediately.
