BLENDING OF CARTONS To achieve a uniform appearance across the entire floor, we require that you open and work from a minimum of four cartons at a time and lay out the flooring ahead of time. Be sure to mix the planks for the best aesthetic appearance. Make certain the room is well lit to ensure color is consistent and that any visual defects can be seen and removed prior to installation. LAYOUT OF FLOORING “Racking the Floor” is essential to achieve a random appearance.
