Glue Down Installation
Engineered T&G hardwood flooring can be glued directly to a concrete sub-floor, wood sub-floor, or terrazzo on
the ground floor and second floor. Must not be installed over any type of vinyl; vinyl must be removed. Subfloor

1. Moisture Meter
Cut plank to fit end row, allowing for ¼”
expansion gap and fasten with pull bar.
Start subsequent row using the remainder of
the cut-off end plank from previous row. The
remainder should be at least 6”. Fasten with
knocking block at the side.
The final planks should be installed the same
way as the 1
st
plank.
You may have to rip the last row lengthwise to
leave a ½” for expansion joint.
Use manual or pneumatic nailer for subsequent
rows. Each plank should be nailed every 6”.
Do not nail less than 2” from plank end to
prevent the tongue from splitting. Fasten each
plank with at least 2-nails.
For best results, stagger the joints 6” to 8” from
the previous row and alternate board lengths.
Complete installation with moldings.
