replacement area for at least 72 hours, to allow them to
equalize to the conditions of the ooring in the room
where the replacement(s) will take place.
3. Remove baseboard, wall base, or quarter-round as
needed to replace the damaged board(s). Take the
ooring apart, 1 row at a time, by lifting the rows to
detach them, then separating the individual boards.
4. Be sure to stack the individual planks in the proper
order for re-installation. This usually eliminates the need
to cut planks for start or end of the row lengths.
5. Replace the damaged board with a piece from the edge
of the original installation.
6. Insert the properly acclimated new plank(s) along the
outer edge of the original ooring installation during re-
assembly. This minimizes the chance that a newer plank
might stand out from the wear condition of the original
installation.
7. Re-install the baseboard, wall base, or quarter round,
and the replacement-repair is complete.
