Position a few rows prior to installation to view and confirm your layout and working line. When laying the flooring, stagger
the end joints from row to row by at least 8”. When cutting the last plank in a row to fit the room, you can use the cut-off
end to begin the next row. If the cut-off end is 8” in length or less, discard that piece and instead cut a new plank at a random
length to start the next row. Always begin each row from the same side of the room. When near a wall, use a pry bar to
close the side and end joints.
INSTALLING THE FIRST ROW
1. Starting from the RIGHT side in relation to the installation room, with the tongue facing the wall, carefully place
the first board in place (Figure 1)
2. Align the next piece by overlapping the end of the first board. Press down firmly to lock the short end by tapping
on the joint with a rubber mallet. Continue in this manner until reaching the final plank in the first row.
3. Cut the final board piece to length.
CONTINUING THE INSTALLATION
1. Begin the second row with the cut piece left over from the first row (Figure 3). If the cut piece is shorter than 8”
(20cm), do not use it. Begin with a new board that is at least 8” in length and allows 8” of plank space between the
end joints of adjacent planks for best visual results.
2. Position the first board into place by angling it up slightly, pushing forward and interlocking the side tongue (Figure
2). Slide the board to the left as necessary to align the edges the end joint.
3. Carefully push the boar down until the tongue and groove lock together on the sides and ends.
4. Press down firmly on the end joint, preferably tapping on it with a rubber mallet in order to fully engage the short
end.
5. Install the remaining boards and rows in the same manner (Figures 3 & 4).
6. Cut the last board in the row to size. Complete the tight fit by tapping the board into place with a pull bar, if
necessary.
7. In order to maximize the use of product and reduce waste, use cut pieces from previous rows as starter boards when
practical.
INSTALLING THE FINAL ROW
1. The last row may need to be cut lengthwise (ripped).
2. Place the last row of planks on top of the last row of installed planks. Use a piece of plank as a scribe to trace the
contour of the wall.
3. Mark where the board will be cut. If the fit of the wall is straight, measure and cut the proper fit.
4. After boards are cut, position the planks and tighten the fit using a pull bar.
INSTALLING UNDER A DOOR JAMB
1. Installation under moldings (such as door jambs) may require the top lip of the groove on the end to be reduced in
size.
