Installation & Assembly

 Use chalk line to trace starting line with ½”
expansion joint at the side and ¼” at row end.
 Nail the guide planks along the starting line.
The plank will serve as a guide for the 1
st
row of
plank.
 Width of the guide plank will be the same as the
width of the flooring you choose.
 Use the trowel and apply adhesive at a 45°angle
from the starting line outward.
 Install the first plank alone the guide strip with
tongue facing you and the groove facing the
starting wall.
 Proceed from left to right to install other planks
in the rows.
 Do small sections to ensure adhesive does not
dry before the planks are laid.
 Use knocking block and pull bar to fasten the
joint.
 Start subsequent row using the remainder of
the cut-off end plank from previous row. The
remainder should be at least 6”.
 Insert the tongue end into the groove and
lower the plank as close as possible to the
adjacent one, avoiding contact with the
adhesive as much as possible.
