Vertical Wainscot Style Wall Install Instructions

1. 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 ooring plus an additional 10% for incorrect cuts.

2. Remove all base and trim from accent wall. Measure from the oor a distance equal to your laminate plank plus one inch then

level and mark the wall with a chalk line. With an electronic stud nder locate and mark wall studs.(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. 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 t. You will want a 1" gap at the bottom of the plank. (Figure 2a)

6. Determine the appropriate number of vertical planks to ll the wall. For the best appearance, the rst 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.

7. If you don’t need to cut the rst plank, remove lower extension of long side groove with saw or utility knife. (Figure 2b)
