Installation Guide

Additional Instructions/Notes:
• Always inspect the ooring thoroughly before installation.
DO NOT slide heavy appliances or furniture over or across the ooring. Always lift objects and place them on
a hard board between the ooring and object and gently reposition them.
• Use caulk next to bathtubs, showers, sliding doors, patio doors, around metal door jambs or similar areas.
• For bathroom installations, it is not necessary to remove the toilet. Make relief cuts around the perimeter
of the toilet and make sure the vinyl ooring is laying at before trimming o󰮏 the excess material. Apply
permanent exible caulk around the toilet, next to the bathtubs and showers to prevent moisture from
getting under the vinyl. NOTE: if there is a ceramic sanitary cove and no place to install trim mold, you can
apply silicone caulk around the walls.
• Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining plastic oor protectors or non-staining felt pads.
The protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest at on the oor. The heavier the item, the
wider the oor protector should be. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with smooth, at
glides that are in at contact with the oor.
• Never tape around the perimeter of the room.
