Installation Guide

Additional Instructions/Notes:
• Always inspect the ooring thoroughly before installation.
• DO NOT slide heavy appliances or furniture over or across the ooring. Always lift objects and place them on
a hard board between the ooring and object and gently reposition them.
• Use caulk next to bathtubs, showers, sliding doors, patio doors, around metal door jambs or similar areas.
• For bathroom installations, it is not necessary to remove the toilet. Make relief cuts around the perimeter
of the toilet and make sure the vinyl ooring is laying at before trimming o the excess material. Apply
permanent exible caulk around the toilet, next to the bathtubs and showers to prevent moisture from
getting under the vinyl. NOTE: if there is a ceramic sanitary cove and no place to install trim mold, you can
apply silicone caulk around the walls.
• Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining plastic oor protectors or non-staining felt pads.
The protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest at on the oor. The heavier the item, the
wider the oor protector should be. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with smooth, at
glides that are in at contact with the oor.
• Never tape around the perimeter of the room.
