Installation & Assembly

10
Use chalk line to trace starting line with ½”
expansion join at the side and ¼” at row ends.
Place expansion spacers every 12” along walls
to prevent movement during installation.
Install 1
st
plank along the starting line with
the tongue facing out.
Start installation on right side of room.
Install from right to left.
Apply bead of Titebond T & G glue to upper
inside of groove.
Never apply glue to tongue.
As you work, immediately clean any adhesive
from the wood surface.
Use pull bar to tighten end joint and knocking
block for the side.
Use flooring straps if needed, but Do Not over
tighten, this will cause undue stress to joint,
and prevent proper adhesion.
Start subsequent row using the remainder of the
cut-off plank from previous row.
The remainder plank must be at least 6” in
length.
For best results, stagger the joints 6” to 8” from
the previous row and alternate board lengths.
