SolidTech Flooring—Floating Installation Instructions

Quick·Step

Luxury Vinyl Flooring can easily be cut using a utility

knife with the decor side face up. When cutting the vinyl plank, mark

the cut line and use the knife to make a firm cut in the surface. Then

break off the plank using both hands.

Turn the long side of the first panel of the second row into the already

secured panel in the first row at an angle of 20-30°. Move the panel to

be fitted slightly up and down and at the same time, exert some for-

ward pressure. The panels will click together.

Then slide the third plank together horizontally. Slightly lift the plank to

be installed by holding your hand underneath. Push the short side

joint down gently with your thumb moving from the inner corner

towards the outside until you hear a “click”. Ensure the short side

ends are closed by knocking gently on the short side click connection

with the palm of your hand. Don’t use a hammer or tapping block as it

could possibly damage the joint.

Next, connect the panels of the first two rows on the short sides.

Check the expansion gap to ensure it is at least 1/4” (5 mm) and

make sure the first two installed rows are perfectly straight. A chalk

line can help ensure the installed planks are aligned; adjust the

straightness of your floor as necessary.

When the uncovered portion of the underlayment is shorter than the

width of the plank, install the next row of underlayment. Connect the

two pieces of underlayment using postal grade packing tape or the

tape recommended by the underlayment manufacturer.

Continue the installation row by row towards the opposite side of the

room. Always check each joint to ensure a good locking connection

before continuing to the next plank. Press down gently with your

thumb on top of every short end joint to ensure a good locking

connection.

An expansion gap of 1/4” (5 mm) around the perimeter of the

room should be maintained; this same expansion gap should be

maintained when using transition moldings. Otherwise, there is

no need for additional expansion gaps within or between rooms.
