Installation Option A: Starting in the
corner of a room
Expansion gaps along the perimeter and
xed objects: min 3/8 inch (8 mm)
You can go both directions but we
recommend to go from left to right.
Tongue facing the wall. Start installing
the rst row by clicking the end joints
together (follow your specic click system
guidelines). Spacers must be placed at
least every 20“ (50 cm).
Adjoining rows: joint separation must be
at least 10” (25 cm).
Cut last laminate plank at the end of the
row (4a): min 10 inches (25 cm).
Use the remaining cut piece (4b) or a
random cut piece so as not to show a
repeating pattern to start the adjoining
row.
To click the planks together: angle the
adjoining row along the length. Then
angle the tongue of plank you are
installing into the groove of the adjoining
row. Tongue must face the previously
installed row. Black plastic insert must sit
in place. Then rotate downwards as
indicated with the arrow.
Click the end joints together by pushing
the end joint downwards on the left edge
of plank you are installing until you hear a
click or snap. Do not tap.
Repeat step for the rest of the room.
