INSTALLATION
Roll Installation Guide
A. Substrate
1. Suitable substrates include but are not limited to permanently dried concrete and wood.
2. To eliminate the telegraphing effect of defects in the substrate through the flooring, the
substrate must be a hard, smooth and flat surface.
3. Remove all dust, dirt, grease, and foreign materials from the substrate.
4. Moisture in the substrate negatively affects any adhesive product and should be
eliminated prior to installation.
B. Roll Installation Procedure
1. Inspect flooring prior to installation for manufacturing defects, correct color, and size. If
flooring has been installed it has been deemed as accepted. See warranty statement for details.
2. Make the assumption from the start that the walls in the room are not square or straight.
3. A Full Glued Down Installation is recommended for maximum wear and durability, but double
face taped down applications are acceptable for lower traffic installations. Substrate quality is
equally as important for taped down installations as it is for full glue down installations.
4. Unroll / unpack the flooring in one direction and allow it to acclimate with the installation
environment for a period of 24 hours or more prior to final installation. This will allow the flooring
time to relax as it is stretched somewhat during manufacturing.
5. It is highly recommended to roll out the flooring in such a fashion that will minimize excess
cuts and waste during the final installation. It is very important during the layout process to
start rolling the succeeding courses of flooring out from the same wall or point where
the first course was started from and to not flip rolls over or reverse directions. If a
double face tape down installation method is chosen, the tape can be applied to the substrate
as the flooring is being laid out in this step. The top layer of the tape can be exposed when the
final cuts are complete.
6. Slightly overlapping the rolls during the layout process along the long axis of the seams will
help insure tight seams during the adhering process.
7. Cut all rolls to the required length making allowances to run up a wall and / or for overlap on a
head seams where required.
8. Begin the final installation by starting with the roll that is against the truest wall. Square this
roll with the room.
