Remove any excess glue with a damp cloth.
• To disengage the planks, lift the long side to a 45 degree
Angle and remove. Slide the ends in opposite directions to
disengage. Do not pull upwards to disengage the short ends
so as not to break them.
Step 4: INSTALLING THE LAST ROW
Most often the entire length of the last row will need to be cut so that it is narrow enough to fit the remaining space. When this occurs,
follow this simple procedure:
● Lay a row of boards with the tongue toward the wall, directly on top of the last row installed.
● Take a full-width scrap piece of the product that is being installed with the face down and the tongue side of the wall. Use 3/8”
spacers against the wall to ensure the proper expansion space.
● Draw a line along the row moving down the wall. The resulting line gives the proper width for the last row which, when cut, can then
be wedged into place using the pull bar.
Step 5: FINISHING THE FLOOR
● The use of putty or a non-silicone-based filler to cover small cracks. Test filler on spare pieces first to ensure it blends with the floor.
● Make sure when the installation is complete that the expansion spacers are removed, the cut edges are sealed with silicone caulk,
and the expansion space is covered with the appropriate molding such as baseboard and 1/4 round or shoe molding. Do not nail
moldings into the floor but nail into the wall.
● Vacuum the floor thoroughly using the soft brush attachment or dust mop to remove any dirt and debris.
● Use a quality Hardwood Flooring cleaner to finish the floor. We recommend Bona Swedish Formula Hardwood Cleaner
● If the floor is to be covered, do not use plastic, use a breathable wrap, or material such as cardboard or kraft paper to protect the
finish.
● Final inspection by the end user should be conducted from a standing position.
• After damp mopping and cleaning, furniture or heavy objects can be put back into place immediately after installation.
C CAUTION: WOOD DUST WARNING

Minnesota meets the HUD Formaldehyde EmissionStandard 24 CFR Sections 3280.308 and 3280.406.
Airborne wood dust may cause lung, upper respiratory tract, and eye and skin irritations. Some wood species may cause dermatitis and respiratory
allergic reactions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified wood dust as a nasal carcinogen in humans. Wood dust can
also cause a flammable or explosive hazard
Precautionary measures:
● Recover dust for disposal. Sweep or vacuum dust for disposal or if power tools are used, equip them with a dust collector.
● Avoid dust contact with an ignition source
● Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of wood dust in the air. If there are high levels of dust, then use a NIOSH- designated dust mask.
● Avoid dust contact with eyes and skin.
