Product Handling and Site Conditions
1. Store cartons of tile and/or plank with cartons stacked one on top of the other. Do not store on end or sides,
or allow cartons to bend during storage or transportation.
2. Install flooring perpendicular to direct sunlight sources, including large windows, door walls, etc. Use of suitable window
coverings during the times of most direct sunlight is strongly recommended.
3. This item should be installed in an indoor, climate-controlled location between 65°–85° F (18°–29° C).
It should NEVER be installed outdoors.
4. This item must be acclimated in climate-controlled locations at 71°F for 24–48 hours before starting installation.
Store cartons lying flat at all times and protect from direct sunlight during acclimation.
5. This item should only be installed after the jobsite has been cleaned and cleared of debris that could potentially
damage a finished plank installation.
6. During the installation, mix and install planks from several different cartons to minimize shade variation.
7. The finished flooring installation should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight.
8. Do not use tapping blocks, adjustable spacers or other tools common to hardwood and laminate flooring installation.
These tools will damage the vinyl flooring and prevent proper locking of the joint mechanisms.
9. Installation area should not be more than 1,076 square feet (100 square meters) or have runs longer than 30 feet in
length without the use of suitable expansion moldings.
10. This item cannot be installed with full spread adhesives. The use of any sort of adhesive during the installation
will void the product warranty.
Improper acclimation of floating luxury vinyl flooring may result in gapping, or buckling
or joints which are difficult to engage properly. Improper locking of the mechanism may
cause one or more of the following conditions in your flooring: joints to be distressed
resulting in a ‘peaked’ appearance; delamination due to ledging; separation of joints from
normal environmental temperature changes; cupping or side joint failures.
