Thank you for choosing our flooring. When properly installed and cared for, your new flooring will be

easy to maintain and will keep its great look for years.

Please read all the instructions before you begin the installation. Improper installation will void warranty.

I. GENERAL PREPARATIONS

TOOLS REQUIRED: Ruler, pencil, tape measure, utility knife, gloves, safety glasses, wedges.

 Prior to installation, inspect material in daylight for visible faults/damage, including defects or

discrepancies in color or gloss; check the edges of the flooring for straightness and any damage.

No claims on surface defects will be accepted after installation.

 Check if subfloor/site conditions comply with the specifications described in these instructions. If

you are not satisfied, do not install, and contact your supplier.

 Flooring products can be damaged by rough handling before installation. Exercise care when

handling and transporting these products. Store, transport and handle the flooring planks in a

manner to prevent any damage. Store cartons flat, never on edge.

 Flooring products can be heavy and bulky. Always use proper lifting techniques when handling

these products. Whenever possible, make use of material-handling equipment such as dollies or

material carts. Never lift more than you can safely handle; get assistance.

 Calculate the room surface prior to installation and plan an extra 5-10% of flooring for cutting

waste.

 It is preferable to lay boards perpendicular to the window, following the direction of the main source

of light. For the best result, make sure to always work from 3 to 4 cartons at a time, mixing the

planks during the installation.

 Do not install flooring on any type of soft substrate or any additional underlayment.

 For floor surfaces exceeding 676 ft

/ 64 m

and/or lengths exceeding 26 ft / 8 m, use expansion

moldings.

 The environment where the flooring is to be installed is critically important with regard to successful installation and continued performance of the flooring products. The flooring is intended to be installed in interior locations only. These interior locations must meet climatic and structural requirements as well.  Flooring should only be installed in temperature-controlled environments. It is necessary to maintain a constant temperature before, during and after the installation.

 Substrates must be free from excessive moisture or alkali. Remove dirt, paint, varnish, wax, oils, solvents, any foreign matter and contaminates.  Do not use products containing petroleum, solvents or citrus oils to prepare substrates as they can cause staining and expansion of the new flooring.  Although this floor is waterproof, it is not aimed to be used as a moisture barrier.  This product is also not to be installed in areas that have a risk of flooding such as saunas or outdoor areas. 4.

1. First row, first plank: After thoroughly cleaning the subfloor, you should begin laying at the lefthand corner of the longest wall and proceed from the wall with the grooves facing out, away from the walls. Use spacers between the wall and the plank to create 1/4” / 6 mm expansion gap and to keep a straight line parallel to the abutting wall. 2. First row, second plank: Insert the end section of the next plank at an angle to the first one, then lay it down. Make sure both planks are perfectly aligned.
