1. Measure the length of your laminate plank and the length of the wall area to determine the total square footage
area. Order that amount of flooring plus an additional 10% for incorrect cuts.
2. Remove all base and trim from accent wall. Measure from the floor a distance equal to your laminate plank plus
one inch then level and mark the wall with a chalk line. With an electronic stud finder locate and mark wall studs.
(Figure 1)
3. Turn off power while working around wall outlets and light switches. Pay special attention to avoid contact with
electrical wiring.
4. Inspect each plank for damage before installing. (Figure 1a) Do not install damaged planks. You can use laminate
planks with or without an attached pad. There is no need to remove the pad, so treat the installation the same for
both types of planks.
5. Start from the left side with the short side tongue up and long side groove toward the wall. Place one plank against
the wall and align at the top to test fit. You will want a 1" gap at the bottom of the plank. (Figure 2a)
6. Determine the appropriate number of vertical planks to fill the wall. For the best appearance, the first and last
planks should be approximately the same width. Cut them as needed based on the width of your installation and
the width of your planks.
7. If you don’t need to cut the first plank, remove lower extension of long side groove with saw or utility knife.
