Premium Luxury Vinyl Flooring Installation Instructions
Cutting Planks to Fit
The last row of planks will need to be cut to fit to walls and other vertical surfaces.
Straight cuts: Place a loose plank directly over the top of the last full installed plank, making sure to line up all edges. Using a plank to measure the
distance from the wall to the last installed plank, position the edge against the wall and mark the loose plank with a pencil where it meets the installed
plank at the opposite edge from the wall.
Next, place the marked plank on a cutting board. Using a carpenter square as a guide, score the pencil line carefully with a sharp knife, then snap or cut
the plank along the score mark.
CAUTION: Keep fingers away from the knife blade to avoid injury. Install plank with the cut edge toward the wall.
Irregular cuts: Scribe plank to fit irregular shapes such as door trims, pipes, etc, and cut with a utility knife.
Immediately After Installation
Roll the entire floor with a 100 lb 3 section roller. Restrict to light traffic for the first 24 hours. Replace the base moldings and return appliances and
furniture to the room by rolling or sliding them over strips of hardboard. Seal all areas that may be exposed to surface spills (i.e. tubs, toilets, and
showers) with silicone caulking.
Plank Repairs
1. Warm the plank with a heat gun.
2. Using a sharp utility knife, cut through a corner of the damaged plank, taking care not to cut into the subfloor below.
3. Lift the end of the plank and continue heating.
4. As sufficient heat is provided, the plank will release from the adhesive.
5. Lift out the entire plank and warm the exposed adhesive.
6. Install the new plank.
7. Set the new plank firmly into place with a hand roller.
