the steps to finish the room.
Enjoy your new floor!
To lock the planks, use a rubber mallet
and lightly tap on the top of the flooring
being installed near the joint seam. You
should feel the planks lock together.
Connect the long end into the groove end
of the plank in the previous row at a low
angle and rotate the plank towards the
floor. Align the tongue over the groove of
the short end of the plank, applying light
pressure to join the planks together.
Lock the short ends together to complete
your first row. Cut the planks as needed to
fit the space.
Start your second row. With a cut-off
that is more than 8" long or start with
a new plank.
Planks: Use the cut-o end from the previous
row to begin the next row. If the cut-o end is
less than 8", cut a new plank to be 8" or more to
start the next row.
Tiles: Always begin a row with either a full tile or
a half tile so the joints are consistently staggered
in a “brick work” type pattern.
Remember to stagger end joints from row to row – 8+" for planks and 12+" for tiles.
