Glue Down Installation
Our Solid Hardwood flooring can be glued directly to a concrete sub-floor, wood sub-floor, or terrazzo on
the ground floor and second floor. Must not be installed over any type of vinyl; vinyl must be removed.
 Cut plank to fit end row, allowing for ¼”
expansion gap and fasten with pull bar.
 Start subsequent row using the remainder of
the cut-off end plank from previous row. The
remainder should be at least 6”. Fasten with
knocking block at the side.
 Use manual or pneumatic nailer for
subsequent rows. Each plank should be
nailed every 6’’. Fasten each plank with at
least 2-nails. Do not nail less than 2” from
plank end to prevent the tongue from splitting.
 For best results, stagger the joints 6’’ to 8’’
from the previous row and alternate lengths.
 The final planks should be installed the same
way as the 1
st
plank.
 You may have to rip the last row lengthwise to
leave a ½” for expansion joint.
 Completed installation with moldings.
