Glasses, Broom or Vacuum and, if necessary, tools for subfloor repair.
Floating Installation
WPC / SPC flooring is designed to be installed utilizing the floating method. Proper expansion space 1/4” (6.35 mm) is required.
Undercut all doorjambs. Do not fasten wall moldings and or transition strips to the flooring.
Glue Down Installation: WPC / SPC flooring is approved for glue down installation over approved wood and concrete substrates.
Follow adhesive label application instructions. Maintain 1/4” (6.35 mm) perimeter expansion space. Refer to adhesive label for moisture
limits of the adhesive.
Recommended adhesive: Shaw T-180 or comparable adhesive. If alternate adhesives are used, a bond test should be
performed to ensure compatibility.
Flooring must be installed in a staggered (offset) pattern.
Installation of the product must start from the left side of the room, working to the right when working in front of the material or
facing the starting wall. Use spacers along the walls to maintain proper expansion space (1/4”) and align the first piece.
1. Before you start with the installation, it is important to determine the layout of the flooring. Proper planning and layout will
prevent having narrow widths at wall junctures or very short length pieces at the end of rows.
2. As with all flooring products, install the material parallel to the longest exterior wall.
3. Determine if the starter row will need to be cut. (*In order to have a balanced floor layout, the width of the flooring for the first
and last row may need to be cut). The cut width of the flooringshould be ½ the width of the material. If the first row does not
need to be trimmed in width, it will be necessary to cut off the unsupported tongue so that a clean, solid edge shows towards
the wall.
