Layout

Allura Flex LVT flooring products are fit using conventional tile fitting techniques.

It is customary to start from the center of the room. In corridors and small spaces, it may be simpler to work lengthwise from one end, using

the center line as a guide.

The center line is drawn as follows (Figure 1): A chalk line is snapped from center of wall A/B (Point E) to the center of wall C/D (Point F).

The center of line E/F is found (Point M). Draw a perpendicular line through Point M using the 3:4:5 method to establish G/H.

Starting at Point M, measure out lengthwise and widthwise to the walls to make sure you will have at least a half of a tile at the border.

Adjust lines E/F and G/H if necessary.
