Clic ERT | UNICLIC® INSTALLATION

Additional Instructions/Notes

IMPORTANT: Maintain a ¼” expansion space around all walls, cabinets, pipes, toilet anges and any immoveable object in the

oor. Baseboard molding will cover this expansion space.

• For plank installation, we recommend staggering the end joints a minimum of 6 inches.

• For tile installation, we recommend staggering the end joints a minimum of 3 inches.

• Never allow nails or screws, including door stops, to enter into the ERT ooring or the expansion zone around the ooring

perimeter, as it will prevent proper expansion and contraction of the structure and ooring.

• Do not install four corners together, as this will not provide a stable installation.

Plank Replacement

In cases of severe damage, tiles may be replaced by cutting the bad piece out using a utility knife. To insert a replacement tile, cut

the tongue off the new piece and use a seam sealer on only the sides of the tile, adhering the new tile into place.

Plank Replacement

1. Score top of damaged plank/tile with a utility knife. Make two triangle cuts near the end joint and then connect the

points with one long cut in the middle of the plank/tile. (See diagram below)

2. Use an awl or screwdriver to tap down through plank/tile on scored triangle cut points.

3. Lift and remove damaged tile.

4. With the pattern side facing up on the new replacement plank/tile, trim off the short lip on the tongue side and the

groove on the compression joint side, making it ush with the edge of the plank/tile. Be careful not to damage the nish

surface of the tile.
