11. Move the row away from the wall and with the use of a temporary board, install the final piece to the row.
12. Carefully slide the row back to the wall and place a 3/8” spacer at the right side wall.
13. When installing Marmoleum® Click panels, the joints of these pieces must be staggered a minimum of 12”. It may be
necessary to cut the first piece of the row to create this stagger. This same stagger can be created by mixing both panels
and squares throughout the installation. Marmoleum® Click squares can be installed with all 4 corners touching, or in a
checkerboard pattern.
14. Start installing the second row to the first row as outlined above in Steps 5 – 7. The first row is used in place of the
temporary piece.
15. The remainder of the room is installed following these steps. If there are any other fixed objects in the room, such as
cabinets, pipes, etc., it is important to leave a minimum of 3/8” spacer where the flooring meets these objects.
16. For the final row, be sure to leave a minimum of 3/8” spacer at all walls. The bottom groove that will be against the wall
can be sawed off if necessary.
17. For areas where there are door moldings or other obstructions that the material must slide under, remove the groove
from the previous row. Then, instead of clicking the final row into place, it will be slid into place. These areas must be
secured using wood glue where the tongue and groove would meet.
18. After the final row is in place, molding, such as a quarter round, is installed to cover the expansion perimeter around the
room.
19. If for any reason you need to disassemble the floor, gently remove the final row and take the pieces apart starting from
the last board on the right.
20. The floor can be walked on immediately after installation.
