Installation Instructions

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. The last row should be at least 2” / 50 mm

wide. The spacers can then be removed.

10. Holes for pipes: Measure the diameter of the pipe and drill a hole that is 1/2” / 12 mm larger. Saw

off a piece as shown in the figure and lay the board in place on the floor. Then lay the sawed-off

piece in place.

11. Door molding and skirting: Lay a board (with the decorative side down) next to the door molding

and saw as shown in the figure. Then slide the floorboard under molding.

IV. FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

Replace molding or wall base, allowing slight clearance between the molding and the planks. Nail the

molding to the wall surface, not through the flooring. At doorways and at other areas where the flooring

planks may meet other flooring surfaces, the use of a transition molding is required to cover the

exposed edge but do not pinch the planks. Leave a 1/4" / 6 mm gap between the planks and the

adjoining surface.

V. MAINTENANCE

 Sweep or vacuum daily using soft bristle attachments.

 Clean up spills and excessive liquids immediately.

 Damp mop as needed and use cleaners recommended for vinyl flooring.

 The use of residential steam mops on this product is allowed. Use at lowest power with a suitable

soft pad, and do not hold a steam mop on one spot for an extended period of time (longer than 5

minutes). Refer to the steam mop's manufacturer instructions for proper usage.

 Use proper floor protection devices such as felt protectors under furniture.

 Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to reduce the amount of dirt brought into your home. Do

not use mats with a latex or rubber backing since these backings can cause permanent

discoloration.
