ProCore Instructions

Cutting: To cut the flooring, measure, mark and carefully use a sharp utility knife and a framer’s square to score the flooring
(several times) and then snap it along your cut and trim off the backing. Alternatively, cut using a guillotine style tile cutter. For
complicated cuts, it is helpful to gently warm the flooring first by using a hair dryer or heat gun (~ 6-inches away) before cutting.
Important: Do not directly tap any part of the locking mechanism as that will cause permanent damage. To remove installed
planks, carefully disengage the long side in a full row by lifting at an angle of approximately 30° and pulling it out. To disengage an
end joint, while keeping both sides of the joint flat, carefully slide one side towards you until separation. If the joint does not easily
slide, use the mallet to re-seat the joint and then try again.
Installation: Beginning at the left corner, follow your starter line and if required, cut the width of the entire first row. The “tongue”
side and end should be placed against the wall, using spacers to maintain an even gap and connect the end joints (see below). Cut
the last piece to fit, allowing for the expansion gap, install it, and use spacers to firm up the row (reduce movement).
End Joints (drop & lock): Correctly align both ends, place the second end over the first and press firmly downwards into place,
using your thumb until it clicks. To complete the locking, aim the center of a large white rubber mallet (~ 16-oz.) about 1-inch away
from the joint, on the right or high side and tap the flooring downwards.
The waste from the previous row may be used as a starter for one of the following rows, making sure the end joints are at least
6-inches apart from the previous row, and at least 9-inches in length.
