IMPORTANT: Maintain the 1⁄4 inch space around walls, cabinets, pipes, toilet flanges and any
obstacle in the floor. Quarter round or baseboard molding will cover this expansion space. Make
sure that you have a transition break every 45ft in either direction (100ft for Grand, Majestic,
and Exquisite). Note that in doorways that are less than 6ft, use a t-molding.
For plank installation, staggering the end joints a minimum of 6 inches is required.
For tile installation, staggering the end joints a minimum of 3 inches is required.
Note: Do not install four corners together, as this will not provide a stable installation.
CLICKING PLANKS/TILES TOGETHER:
To click the end joint of the plank/tile together, click the short side of the plank/tile vertically into
the previous one by pressing it by hand and rolling it with a hand roller or seam roller to ensure
a fully compressed tight fit.
To click the length joint of the plank/tile together, place long joint together, lifting slightly to
engage lock. Rotate downward, clicking together for a tight fit. Use a small hand roller or seam
roller to press/lock the compression fit end joint.
If there are any gaps, we recommend using a small scrap piece of plank/tile with the lock on the
edge. Lock groove-to-tongue or tongue-to-groove for this application. Lock the scrap piece to
the area requiring tapping, and lightly tap the edge of the material. This will bring the tile edges
tight together.
Cut the plank/tile by scoring through the top wear layer with a utility knife then snap the
plank/tile across the score.
Install adjoining rows as you did the first; one piece at a time. Holding the plank/tile at a slight
angle, place it against the profile in the first row. Rotate the plank/tile down to secure the length
joint assuring there are no gaps along the joint.
The adjoining planks/tiles are aligned by sliding the long joint into position, shifting it to properly
match the end joint against the previous plank/tile. Repeat until you reach the final row of
material.
To install the final row of planks/tiles, you will usually need to cut them. We recommend the
following: lay a panel on top of the last row installed. Lay another plank/tile against the edge of
the wall. Mark the plank/tile underneath.
