When the first two rows are in position, apply forward pressure to the two rows so
that the joint between them is seamless; simply pull the white protective starter
strip out from under the board to the edge of the flooring being careful not to
expose the adhesive face. If this occurs, just tuck the protective foil back under the
edge of the already installed floor board. Finally, if you are happy with the look of
the floor, apply pressure to the top of the flooring to secure it firmly to the
Elastilon. . It is permissible to use blue painters tape to keep board alignment as you
continue to build the floor on the release film. At this time you can use a chalk or
laser line to determine how straight your installed floor is. The floor can still be
adjusted at this point to ensure that it is square to the room After the first few rows
are installed cleanly, you can lay up multiple rows of flooring. Be sure to tap each
board tightly together and to apply forward pressure as you pull the white protective foil from under the flooring.
Continue to press down on the installed floor as you lay the floor wall to wall. It is recommended to put weight
on the floor (as easy as walking over it), to help the floor adhere to the Elastilon evenly. Remember that
Elastilon is a free floating installation membrane and should never be fastened to the floor below it or kept
from moving freely.
