Installation Guide
Installation Methods
Floating
Ideal for rooms where a quick installation is needed. Lay down the underlayment, snap planks together with a 1/4 inch expansion gap around the perimeter.
Glue Down
Best for areas where stability is crucial. Apply adhesive evenly using a trowel, carefully place each plank, and allow 24 hours to cure.
Nail Down
Use for high-traffic areas needing durability. Secure planks with 1-1/2 inch nails or staples every 6-8 inches, ensuring alignment.

- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity between 35% and 55% to prevent wood warping.
