Installation Methods
Floating
Suitable for areas with slight subfloor imperfections. Use appropriate underlayment and allow for a 1/4 inch expansion gap around the perimeter. Avoid room dimensions exceeding 30 feet in any direction.
Glue Down
Ideal for areas with high foot traffic. Use a urethane adhesive with a 1/4 inch V-notch trowel. Allow 24-48 hours for curing and apply a moisture barrier if needed.
Nail Down
Best for wooden subfloors. Use 1-1/2 inch staples or cleats with pneumatic tools set at 70-90 PSI. Space fasteners every 6-8 inches along the board.
