Installation Guide

 Determine if you are gluing or nailing the moulding and proceed by following the
instructions in the Installation Section of this guide.
 Maintenance suggestions:
o Hardwood mouldings are designed to be durable and have finishes which meet or
exceed all Major Flooring Manufacturer’s specifications.
o However, wood is a natural product and is susceptible to structural damage when
handled in a negligent manner.
o Common sense guidelines would include:
 Use of area rugs and runners in high traffic areas where damaging dirt and gravel
may be tracked into the house.
 Sweep and vacuum regularly to help limit the likelihood of damage from stray
abrasive particles like sand.
 Follow the flooring manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning products.
 Limit the floor’s exposure to water and harsh chemical cleaners.
 Shoes with spikes or damaged heels can quickly damage an otherwise beautiful floor
and mouldings.
 When moving furniture, use the appropriate padding and coasters under all legs. Do
not count on casters to provide all the protection for flooring.
