13. When tting around obstacles or into irregular spaces, planks can be cut easily and cleanly using a utility knife with a
sharp blade. It is often benecial to make a cardboard template of the area and transfer this pattern to the plank.
14. Protect all exposed edges of the ooring by installing wall molding and/or transition strips. Make sure that no plank will be
secured in any way to the sub oor.
15. For wet areas such as bathrooms caulk the perimeter of the oor with a silicone caulk.
16. Protect the nished ooring from exposure to direct sunlight to reduce fading and thermal expansion.
17. Cutting resilient product into a ne point may lead to delamination. Use an ethyl cyanoacrylate based glue to help fuse
the resilient point together. Be sure to clean all glue from the top surface immediately. Alcohol based glues may cause
resilient products to swell.
18. Adhering tape to the surface of your resilient ooring could damage the surface.
Do notuse tape to secure oor protection directly to the oor during construction or renovation. Instead, adhere tape to the
material used to protect the oor and secure it to the base molding along the wall. A material such as ram board can also be
used to protect yourooring.
