| Highlights of installation guides |
| Getting Started |
| · |
Always check each board for damage before installing. |
| · |
To minimize pattern repeats in the floor, always pull from at least three cartons of flooring while installing. |
|
| Wall Irregularities |
| · |
All wall irregularities require cutting the first or last row of boards to fit the contour of the wall. |
|
| Cutting |
| · |
A good quality carbide-tipped cutting blade that has been designed for composition and laminate materials such as melamine,
coreboard, or other hard, dense, manmade materials is recommended.
|
|
| Installing the First Row |
| · |
Lay the first full piece with the small, tongue side facing the wall. |
|
| Installing Remaining Rows |
| · |
Begin the second row of planks with the piece cut from the last piece in the first row. |
|
| Installing the Last Row |
| · |
The last row in the installation may need to be cut lengthwise. |
|
| Installing Under a Door Jamb or Toe Kick |
| · |
Installation of locking laminate through a door jamb or under a toe kick requires the lip of the groove to be reduced in size. |
|
| Finishing the Installation |
| · |
DO NOT WAX OR POLISH your floor. |
