Caution: Wood Dust
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified wood dust as a nasal carcinogen.
The sawing, sanding, and/ or machining of wood products can produce wood dust that can cause respiratory, eye, and skin
irritations. Equipment should be equipped with a dust collector to reduce airborne wood dust.
Wear an appropriate NIOSH designated dust mask to reduce exposure to airborne wood dust. Avoid contact with eyes and
skin. In case of irritation, flush eyes or skin with water for at least 15 minutes. In cases of severe irritation, seek immediate
medical attention. For Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) you may contact us.
Approved Installation Methods
• Click Floating (not secured to the subfloor) Engineered Flooring only
Scheduling installation
Wood must not be installed until all other work, e.g., Painting, wallpapering and tiling, is completed. The site must have the
correct temperature and relative humidity levels. This avoids dents, scratches, and moisture related damage to the floor.
Storage and Acclimation requirement
DO NOT STORE IN unclimatized buildings, garages, sheds, directly on bare concrete or next to outside walls. Cartons should
be placed close to the center of the installation area as possible. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat/air vents.
Do not store cartons outside in truck trailers. Extreme heat (110⸰ and above) will distort the wood.
ENGINEERED FLOORING - ACCLIMATE A MIMIMUM OF FIVE (5) days prior to installing at 60-80° Fahrenheit and relative
humidity of 35-55%. DO NOT OPEN THE CARTONS. Each pallet and carton will arrive to the job site packaged to maintain its
most desirable installation moisture content. If material needs to be inspected prior to installation, carefully remove from
carton. After inspecting, place back in the carton and secure with tape until installation. DO NOT REMOVE PACKAGING
UNTIL THE DAY OF INSTALLATION. Wood that has not been used within a day should be returned to the carton and sealed
until ready for installation. Removing the wood from the carton prior to installation could lead to distortion (bowing,
crowning, twisting, cupping).
Inspection of Wood
It is always easier to rectify faults if they are discovered early. Always make a habit of inspecting the product at the time of
installation. Faulty products can, of course, be exchanged. From 36” standing distance, wood with obvious faults (Color,
Gloss, Texture) should be detectable before installation and must not be used. Always make sure that inspection and
installation are carried out in good light. We recommend to layout 100 square feet (4 cartons) prior to installation for visual
inspection. We will only be responsible for the first 100 square feet installed.
