ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING AND CARE
5. To connect the first plank of the second row, insert its long edge
tongue into the first row’s long edge groove at a 20°-30° angle - then
slowly lower it to lock planks together.
6. Install remaining planks by first connecting their long edge tongue to
the previous row’s long edge groove as described above, but before
lowering the plank, slide it to the left so that its short edge tongue is
overlapping the previous plank’s short end groove.
7. Lower the plank so the two short edges will fit into each other, then
apply pressure on the short end to lock the planks together.
8. Once your installation is complete, remove all spacers and install
finishing trim.
7. If using a steam cleaner, use on the lowest setting and avoid leaving
it in the same spot for prolonged periods.
WET AREAS:
Do not install in saunas, swimming pool areas and other similar
extreme wet areas. It is recommended when installing in a wet area
such as a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room or entryway, to seal all
expansion spaces with 100% flexible silicone caulk. NOTE: Do not use
acrylic-based caulks.
1. Check the wall you are installing against to ensure it is straight.
If it is not, cut the long edge of the first row to fit wall irregularities.
Minimum plank width for first and last rows must be 4 in (10 cm).
Minimum plank length for first and last planks in a row should be
12 in (30 cm). Plank joints must be offset by minimum 12 in (30 cm).
2. Select a starting corner and work from left to right. Place long-edge
tongue of first plank against wall using 1/2 in (12.7 mm) spacer.
3. Place second plank so its short edge tongue overlaps the first
plank’s short edge groove by half the width of the plank. Press
down on the second plank to engage the locking mechanism (there
should be no height differences between the two planks). Slide the
second plank horizontally towards the wall until the two planks’
long edges are aligned.
4. Continue in this manner to complete the row. Cut the last plank to fit
and remember to leave 1/2 in (12.7 mm) expansion space between
it and the wall. Use the remainder of the last plank to start the next
row provided it is longer than 12 in (30 cm). Plank joints must be
offset by a minimum of 12 in (30 cm).
1. Use protective felt pads under all furniture feet.
2. Place mats and area rugs at main entrances to minimize
abrasive debris.
3. Use protective mats under wheeled office-type chairs.
4. Dust mop or vacuum with a hard surface attachment to remove dust,
loose dirt or debris.
5. If necessary, use a water-based flooring cleaner. Lightly mist cleaner
onto floor surface and wipe up immediately.
6. This flooring is waterproof, but care should be taken whenever the
potential for moisture is present.
