Pergo Xtra Installation Instructions
The installation wall should only run vertical to the floor. Sloping walls and surfaces that are parallel to the floor, such as ceilings or sots, should
not be selected. Limit installations to a maximum of 40 feet in length and a maximum of 1 plank length in height.
Laminate is suitable for an accent wall when used in climate controlled (35-65% RH and 60-85° F) indoor installations only. Acclimate unopened
product lying flat in the room where it is to be installed for at least 48 hours. Mix planks from dierent cartons as you install to maximize the
natural appearance.
Check wall for moisture, visible water stains or leaking windows. Do not install laminate over a wall with known moisture damage. Do not install
in areas near water sources such as a backsplash over a sink or bathtub. Acceptable job site conditions, including relative humidity and wall
moisture conditions, must be maintained throughout the life of the laminate application.
Check wall for flatness within 3/16” over 10 feet. Correct any unevenness before installing to allow the laminate planks to lie flat
without rocking.
The following requirements are not intended to supersede federal, state or local building codes, but as with many other interior finish products,
may require modifying existing structural components for successful installation. Owner assumes responsibility for compliance with all building
codes, including maintaining the required distance from heat sources such as fireplaces.
