3. Use a tapping block and hammer to ensure engagement
along the length of the plank . Avoid excessive force as it
will cause the plank seams to peak. Any gapping can affect
the whole floor, so you want to make sure to ensure a tight
fit for every plank.
4. To engage the butt end seams properly, use a scrap of
flooring at least 6” as a bridge piece to hold the planks
together.
5. Use a tapping block and hammer at the end of the plank (exposed butt end seam) to engage the ends the planks together. Only
tap the top edge of the plank so that you do not damage the clicking mechanism. Remove the bridge piece and continue the row
in the same fashion. Using the bridge piece ensures that the butt end seams are properly engaged to prevent any gapping.
6. Use a pull bar and a hammer to engage the final plank in the row. Insert a spacer to ensure proper expansion space is left.
Continue installing the rest of the rows in the same manner.
Quick Tip! Carefully inspect the long edge and short ends of the planks for any gapping before moving on to the next row. If you
notice any gaps, STOP, and reinstall the boards to ensure a snug fit.
