Premium Luxury Vinyl Flooring Installation Instructions
Floor Layout
First determine the direction to install the planks. As a general rule, planks are normally installed running in the long direction of the main room. Place a
mark in the center of the floor at each end of the room. Snap a chalk line between the marks.
Original center line
To avoid small narrow planks along the walls, divide the distance from the center line to the wall by the plank width (6"). If the remainder is less than 3",
adjust the center line by half the width of a plank in either direction. This will provide a balanced layout with larger cut pieces at the wall.

Finished Flooring Installation
Apply the adhesive using the recommended notched trowel, spread the adhesive over half of the floor up to the center line. For porous surfaces, install
the planks into adhesive with the semi-wet method, where the adhesive is tacky to the touch. In normal situations, this will require 15-20 minutes. For
non-porous surfaces, install the planks as it becomes dry to the touch with little or no transfer to finger when touched. In normal situations, this will
require 30-60 minutes. Refer to the Installation Instructions provided with the adhesive for more detailed instructions.
Start installing the planks along the center line. Complete each row, including cut pieces at the wall, before proceeding to the next row. Offset end joints by
at least 6" and position planks in a random fashion for the best appearance. Position each plank, lightly against the previous one, by pressing it firmly into
place without sliding it. Remember to avoid small cuts of less than 6" at the ends of each row and place cut ends toward the wall.
If it is necessary to adjust or remove a plank, use a heat gun to warm the plank first. Complete the opposite side of the room in the same fashion as
the previous side.
