INSTALLATION FOR PLANK
Layout of the Room (See Figure 5)
o Find the center point of the room.
o Strike a line.
o Obtain a true 90° angle by using a carpenter’s square.
o Strike a second line which will divide the room in to four equal parts.
o Measure the distance from the center to the wall, parallel to the
direction of the plank.
o Divide the measurement by the width of the plank. If less than half
remains as the border plank, adjust the point to compensate.
This will give a larger border along the wall and reduce the chance of having
to cut a small sliver of flooring to place along the wall. (Figure 5)

Carefully place the first piece of plank at the junction of the chalk lines.
Continue to lay the plank, making sure each plank flush against the chalk
line and tight against the adjoining plank. Make sure the plank is well seated
into the adhesive paying special attention to the edges. Lay row by row, or in
a pyramid fashion as shown below.
