Installation & Assembly

English

The pre-cut starting planks should have the groove facing the center line. Dry ﬁt the starting planks and draw a line along

the tongue. Be sure the line is parallel to the center line. The planks with the ends which have been prepared will enable

plank to be snapped into position.

Once you are sure of measurement and alignment you will be using a brad nail gun to secure your glued plank to the wall.

Be careful to set the nail gun to shoot brads into the groove. Brad nails must be fully seated to not interfere with the

locking proﬁle.

Start the installation by buttering the back of the starter planks with Mannington Wood Floors Ultra-Spread EZ adhesive.

Use a

" x

" notched trowel. As an alternate adhesive you may use a high-quality construction adhesive which can

be applied with a caulk gun. Apply adhesive in an S pattern at least a ¼" bead.

Place the buttered planks on the starter line and drive the brad nail on an angle into the groove attaching to the

plywood subsurface.

While installing following rows of planks, cut the planks so that no end joints are closer than 6" to each other. Try to achieve

a random appearance. Lock long side tongue into the groove aligning with the end groove and drop into position.

Butter the back of the pre-cut planks with adhesive and push the tongue and groove into position. Brad nail at a 45° angle

through the laminate groove into the plywood subsurface. The nail pocket is directly in the groove. All brad nails should be

counter-sunk as not to interfere with the next plank.

Continue the above installation technique until the last row of planks. The last row of planks will be cut to ﬁt on the

tongue side. Pre-drill 4 or 5 holes through the top of the plank ¼" in from the cut side of the plank. The same as

the starter row of planks.

Butter the back of the planks and push them into position. Drive the 1¼" ﬁnishing nails through the pre-drilled holes

in the planks into the plywood subsurface.

Finish the installation by installing the quarter-round, base, or transition molding and ﬁlling any nail holes with matching

wood ﬁller. Check the ﬁnish for any adhesive residue and clean with mineral spirits.

Maintain the ﬂooring by occasionally vacuuming and/or dusting and cleaning with Mannington Wood Floors "Ultraclean".

NOTE: Do not allow any adhesive to dry on the ﬁnish. Keep a rag dampened with

mineral spirits to clean as you install.
