Installation Guide

• Remove all wedges and tape if used.

• Clean oor with the recommended hardwood ooring cleaner.

• Trim all underlayment and install, or re-install, all base and/or quarter round mouldings. Nail

mouldings into the wall, not the oor.

• Inspect the oor, lling all minor gaps with the appropriate blended ller.

• If the oor is to be covered, use a breathable material such as cardboard. DO NOT cover with

plastic.

• To prevent surface damage, avoid rolling heavy furniture and appliances on the oor. Use plywood,

hardboard or appliance lifts if necessary. Use protective casters/caster cups or felt pads on the legs

of furniture to prevent damage to the ooring.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION

INSTALLING UNDER A DOOR JAMB

Ledge

Glue

Installations of locking engineered oors under

mouldings, such as a door jamb, may require the top

lip of the groove on the end be reduced in size.

Using a small plane or knife plane (not included),

shave off the ledge off the groove of the plank.

After the groove edge has been trimmed, place the

plank into place and tighten with a pull bar to test for t.

Make certain the proper expansion space is maintained

and the ooring is not pinched. If t is incorrect, trim as

necessary.

Remove plank, then place a bead of recommended

wood glue (not included) on the bottom lip of the

groove. Reinsert the tongue into the groove and

tighten the plank with a pull bar. Hold the plank in place

with painter’s tape (not included) until the glue is dry.

CAUTION: Do not use masking tape or duct tape, as

the oor's nish may be damaged.

Note: Hold the plank in place with painter’s tape until

the glue is dry. DO NOT use masking tape or duct

tape, as the nish may be damaged.
