Installation Instructions

Measure the length of your laminate plank and the length of the wall

area to determine the total square footage area. Order that amount

of flooring plus an additional 10% for incorrect cuts.

Remove all base and trim from accent wall. Measure from the floor a

distance equal to your laminate plank plus one inch then level and mark

the wall with a chalk line. With an electronic stud finder locate and

mark wall studs. (Figure 1)

Turn off power while working around wall outlets and light

switches. Pay special attention to avoid contact with electrical

wiring.

Inspect each plank for damage before installing. (Figure 1a)

Do not install damaged planks. You can use laminate planks with or

without an attached pad. There is no need to remove the pad, so

treat the installation the same for both types of planks.

Start from the left side with the short side tongue up and long

side groove toward the wall. Place one plank against the wall

and align at the top to test fit. You will want a 1” gap at the

bottom of the plank.

(Figure 2a)

Determine the appropriate number of vertical planks to fill the

wall. For the best appearance, the first and last planks should

be approximately the same width. Cut them as needed based

on the width of your installation and the width of your planks.

If you don’t need to cut the first plank, remove lower extension

of long side groove with saw or utility knife. (Figure 2b)

Apply silicone adhesive to the back side of the plank in an “S”

pattern. If you’re using a laminate plank with an attached

pad, apply the silicone directly to the pad on the back of the

plank. (Figure
