Horizontal Accent Wall Install Instructions
1. Measure the length and width of the wall area to determine the total square footage area. Order that amount of ooring plus an
additional 10% for incorrect cuts.
2. Remove baseboards from the accent wall and locate the wall studs using the stud nder tool. Mark vertical lines over all studs.
Use painters tape to extend stud location to ceiling if needed. (Figure 1)
3. Turn off power while working around wall outlets and light switches. Pay special attention to avoid contact with electrical wiring.
4. 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.
5. Lay the planks on the oor with the décor side up and the groove side toward the wall. Assemble the short ends of the planks
together and measure length to t the rst row (bottom).
6. Cut the last piece as needed leaving a 3/16" gap against any adjoining walls, if applicable, and click it into place. (Figure 2)
NOTE: You may need to adjust placement of the rst plank row to account for any oor unevenness so that the rst row is perfectly
straight and all end joints remain square and tight.
7. Carefully ip the connected row of planks over so the décor side is now face down and the tongue side is toward the wall. You
may need assistance to ip the connected row of planks over, depending on the length of your installation. Make sure that the
rst row is perfectly straight and the aligned joints remain square and tight. Apply a bead of 100% silicone adhesive caulk to
the back side of each laminate plank in the rst row. If you’re using a laminate plank with an attached pad apply silicone directly
onto the pad on the back of the plank. (Figure 3)
8. Carefully tilt the row of connected planks against the wall with the tongue side toward the oor, re-level and press to the wall.
