EXPANSION
GAPS
Engineered ooring can be used in areas ranging from
30% to 55% relative humidity.
Leave at least 1/2” expansion spaces between ooring and ALL
vertical objects (walls, cabinets, pipes, etc.) Large ooring runs
may require additional expansion space. For oating oors, use
transition moldings between rooms and doorways 3ft. or less.
Undercut door jambs and casings to provide adequate
expansion space. Do not screw or nail cabinetry or other
permanent xtures to a oating oor.

Make sure the suboor is at, level, clean and free of debris.
New concrete must be cured for at least 60 days. Test the
suboor moisture prior to installation and apply an
appropriate moisture barrier. CALI recommends Titebond®
531+ on concrete suboors. Although, other moisture
barriers are available.
