Installation Guide

Denser species may require pre-drilling the holes in the tongue.
• Additional Plank Flooring Requirements. The National Wood Flooring
Association recommends that plank floors (over 3" wide) need additional
fastening for proper performance. (Chapter 9 of the Installation Guidelines)To
achieve this in addition to the above fastener schedule use a polyurethane
tube adhesive to stripe the underside of the boards every 6"-8". This will help
to reduce the tangentially movement of the installed flooring
• An asphalt saturated paper should be used as an underlayment if National
Wood Flooring Association guidelines for plank flooring as listed above are not
followed
• Continue the installation until finished. Distribute lengths, staggering end
joints 6"-8" throughout the installation
• Thoroughly clean, sweep, and vacuum installed floor and inspect the floor
for scratches, gaps and other imperfections. Do not apply any tape
directly to the installed flooring to hold down floor protection. The new
floor can be used after 12-24 hours.
