1.
Working from the left side cut the first plank in half and place at the wall with the spacers in place.
You can use a chalk line for the first row to help keep the rows in line with the wall and adjust if
needed. The tongue (smaller profile) should face the wall and the groove side will be facing you.
2.
Next take a full piece and engage the long side of full plank into the first – using an angle approach
to properly lock the second row to the first.
3.
Next take a full plank and place it at the first row (working backwards) engage the long side first
then use a tapping block and mallet to engage the short side. Complete the first row using the
same procedure until you reach the end wall.
4.
Once the first two rows are complete properly align the material to the wall and place wall spacers
where needed if the wall has a bow in it to prevent the material from shifting.
5.
Now continue to add rows to the installed floor using the same method. – engage the long side first
and then using a tapping block and mallet to gently engage the short side.
6.
Try to space the end joints a minimum of 6 inches from the installed end joint and create a random
stagger to avoid a pattern look to the floor.
Once complete remove the wall spacers from the perimeter and install the base or quarter round
to cover the expansion space. Sweep/
clean the floor. The floor is now ready for use.
