Installation Guide

Floor Layout
First, determine the installation direction of the planks. Generally, planks are normally installed running in the long
direction of the main room. Place a mark in the center of the oor at each end of the room and snap a chalk line
between the marks.
To avoid small narrow planks along the walls, divide the distance from the center line to the wall by the plank
width (6”). If the remainder is less than 3 inches, adjust the center line one half width of a plank in either direction.
This will provide a balanced layout with larger cut pieces at the wall.
Finished Flooring Installation
Using the provided trowel adapter, spread the adhesive over one half of the oor up to the center line. Do not
apply excessive adhesive. Allow the adhesive to dry to tack before installing the plank (see adhesive pail label for
clarications). Allow the adhesive to dry completely to tack prior to ooring installation.
Start installing the plank along the center line. Complete each row, including cut pieces at the wall, before pro-
ceeding to the next row. Offset end joints by at least six inches and position planks in a random fashion, work-
ing out of three - four cartons for the best appearance. Position each plank lightly against the previous one by
pressing it rmly into place without sliding it. Remember to avoid small cuts of less than 6 inches at the ends of
each row and place the cut ends towards the wall.
If it is necessary to adjust or remove a plank, use a heat gun to rst warm the plank. Complete the opposite side
of the room in the same fashion as the previous side.
Cutting a plank to t
The last row of planks will need to be cut to t to walls and other vertical surfaces.
Straight Cuts: place a loose plank directly over the top of the last full installed plank, making sure to line up all edges. Using
a plank to measure the distance from the wall to the last installed plank, position the edge against the wall and mark the loose
plank with a pencil where it meets the installed plank at the opposite edge from the wall.
