Thank you for choosing our flooring. When properly installed and cared for, your new flooring will be

easy to maintain and will keep its great look for years. Please read all the instructions before you begin

the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty.

I. GENERAL PREPARATIONS

TOOLS REQUIRED: Spacers, rubber mallet, ruler, pencil, tape measure, utility knife, tapping block.

 Prior to installation, inspect material in daylight for visible faults/damage, including defects or

discrepancies in color or shine; check the edges of the flooring for straightness and any damage.

No claims on surface defects will be accepted after installation.

 It is preferable to lay boards perpendicular to the window, following the direction of the main source

of light. For the best result, make sure to always work from 3 to 4 cartons at a time, mixing the

planks during the installation.

 Check if subfloor/site conditions comply with the specifications described in these instructions. If

you are not satisfied, do not install, and contact your supplier.

 Flooring products can be damaged by rough handling before installation. Exercise care when

handling and transporting these products. Store, transport and handle the cartons in a manner to

prevent any damage. Store cartons flat, never on edge.

 Flooring products can be heavy and bulky. Always use proper lifting techniques when handling

these products. Whenever possible, make use of material-handling equipment such as dollies or

material carts. Never lift more than you can safely handle; get assistance.

 Calculate the room surface prior to installation and plan an extra 5-10% of flooring for cutting

waste.

 The environment where the flooring is to be installed is critically important with regard to successful

installation and continued performance of the flooring products. The flooring is intended to be

installed in interior locations only. These interior locations must meet climatic and structural

requirements as well.

 In most cases, this product does not need to be acclimated. However, if the boxes of flooring were

exposed over 2 hours to extreme temperatures under 50°F / 10°C or over 90°F / 32°C within the

12 hours before the installation, acclimation is required. In this case, keep the boards in room

temperature for at least 12 hours in unopened package before you start the installation. The room

temperature must be maintained consistent between 50-90°F / 10-32°C before and during the installation.  Flooring should only be installed in temperature ranges between 50-90°F / 10-32°C, it is necessary to maintain a constant temperature before and during the installation. Portable heaters are not recommended as they may not heat the room and subfloor sufficiently. Kerosene heaters should never be used.

   If this flooring is intended to be installed over an existing wood floor, it is recommended to repair any loose boards or squeaks before you begin the installation. Nail or screw every 6” / 15 cm along joints to avoid squeaking. Basements and crawl spaces must be dry. Use of a 6 mil / 0.15 mm poly-film is required to cover 100 % of the crawl space earth.  We recommend laying the flooring crossways to the existing floorboards.

IMPORTANT NOTICE In-floor Radiant Heat: Flooring can be installed over 1/2" / 12 mm embedded radiant heat using the floating method. Maximum operating temperature should never exceed 85°F / 30°C. Use of an infloor temperature sensor is recommended to avoid overheating. • Turn the heat off for 24 hours before, during and 24 hours after installation when installing over radiant heated subfloors.

   Measure the area to be installed: The board width of the last row shall not be less than 2” / 50 mm. If so, adjust the width of the first row to be installed. In narrow hallways, it is recommended to install the floor parallel to the length of the hall. UNDERLAY: If the floor does not have a pre-attached underlayment, an additional underlayment is recommended in order to improve acoustic performance and absorb some irregularities on the substrate.

1. First row, first plank: After thoroughly cleaning the subfloor, you should begin laying from left to right. Position the first plank so that grooved edge is facing you. Place the floorboard 1/4” / 6 mm from the left wall. Use spacers between the wall and the floorboard. 2. First row, second plank: Drop the plank and gently tap down the end with a rubber mallet so it firmly locks into the previous plank until both are at the same height. Make sure both planks are perfectly aligned.

scribed and re-trimmed to account for any unevenness in the wall. This can be done without having to disassemble the beginning rows. 9. To lay the last row: Position a loose board exactly on top of the last row laid. Place another board on top, with the tongue side touching the wall. Draw a line along the edge of this boards, to mark the first board. Cut along the edge of this board to mark the first board. Cut along this line to obtain the required width. Insert this cut board against the wall.
