Installation Guide
Installation Methods
Floating
Use this method for quick installations over smooth subfloors. Install the underlayment first, then click the planks together, leaving a 1/4 inch gap for expansion.
Glue Down
Ideal for concrete or low-profile installations. Apply adhesive with a notched trowel, lay the planks, and roll with a heavy roller to ensure adhesion.
Nail Down
Best for wooden subfloors. Use a pneumatic nailer with 1-1/2 inch staples, spacing 8 inches apart. Ensure proper air pressure settings to avoid damaging the wood.
Site Requirements
- Temperature: Ensure the room temperature is maintained between 60°F and 80°F for at least 48 hours before, during, and after installation.
- Humidity: Keep relative humidity between 35% and 55% to prevent expansion or contraction of the wood.
- Preparation: Ensure HVAC systems are operational for at least 48 hours before installation. Keep windows and doors closed to maintain stable environmental conditions.
