• The end joints of the planks in the first row are assembled by inserting the tongue side into the groove side of the previous plank at a low
angle. Gradually lower the plank down flat until the end joint closes, insuring that the planks are perfectly aligned. Install remaining full planks
in the first row.
• The last plank in the first row will need to be cut. Measure the distance between the wall and the surface of the last full plank. Subtract 1/4”
(6.3 mm) or 1/2” (12.7 mm) depending on the size of the spacer used, from this measurement to allow for the spacer. If this measurement
is less than 12” (20.3 cm), the length of first plank in the row must be cut. This will allow for a longer plank at the end of the row. The first and
last plank in each row must be at least 12” (30.4 cm) in length. Planks are cut using a sharp utility knife and straight edge/carpenters square.
Score the surface of the plank with a utility knife, and then snap the plank at the score line .
• The remaining piece cut from the last plank in the first row may serve as the first plank in the second row provided it is at least 12” (30.4
cm) long. Always stagger end joints from row to row a minimum of 12” (30.4 cm).
• Install the long side of the first plank of the second row. Remember to place a 1/4” (6.3 mm) spacer between the wall and the short side of the
plank, allow 1/2'” (12.7 mm) for installations over wood substrates that may be effected by moisture or external temperature and humidity
fluctuations (i.e. crawlspaces, mobile homes) Insert the tongue side into the groove side of the previous row at a low angle and rotate downward
until plank is flat with the substrate.
