Installation Guide

Check groove on plank to make sure it is clean and free of debris.

Installation

Step 1: Begin installation

working from left to right. Insert

spacers at ends and edges

where planks meet wall to

maintain ¼” expansion space

Step 2: Lock short end of plank

by inserting tongue into groove

at an angle and drop in place.

Continue to end of first row.

Step 3: Use leftover plank from

first row as starter for second

row. Minimum 8” stagger

between plank end joints.

Step 4: Lock long edge of plank

by inserting tongue into groove

at an angle and drop in place.

Slide plank toward end of

previously installed plank until

the tongue just touches the

groove.

Step 5: Use hammer and

tapping block to engage plank

and ensure tight fit.

Step 6: Attach a scrap piece to

align planks and bridge gaps

between planks.

Step 7: Tap end of planks with

hammer and tapping block to

engage ends.

Step 8: Use hammer and pull

bar to engage final piece, insert

spacers and continue to next

row.

Step 9: Use hammer and pull

bar to lock planks on final row.

INSTALLATION UNDER DOOR JAMBS
