INSTALLATION FOR PLANK
Layout of the Room:
Find the center point of the room. Strike a line. Obtain a true 90’ angle by using a carpenter’s square. Strike a
second line which will divide the room in to four equal parts. Measure the distance from the center to the wall,
parallel to the direction of the plank. 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.
LAYOUT OF THE PLANK:
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.
FITTING THE BORDER:
Measure the distance from the last plank in the row to the wall. Mark the plank and cut it against the mark.
Lay the plank in place, making sure that the cut edge is against the wall.
Fitting Around Irregular Objects:
Make a pattern out of heavy paper to fit around pipes and other irregularities. Place the pattern on the plank,
trace cutting along the trace lines.
IMPORTANT: All flooring must by rolled with a minimum 100-lb roller after installation. Use a hand roller in
areas not reached with a 100-lb. roller.
