Pergo Extreme Installation Instructions
Installation (cont.)
8. Turn the long side of the first panel of the second row into the already secured panel in the first
row at an angle of 20 to 30°. Move the panel to be fitted slightly up and down; at the same
time, exert some forward pressure. The panels will click together.
9. Then slide the third plank together horizontally. Slightly lift the plank to be
installed by holding your hand underneath. Push the short side joint down
gently with your thumb, moving from the inner corner towards the outside
until you hear a “click”. Ensure the short side ends are closed by knocking
gently on the short side click connection with the palm of your hand or
tapping block.
Next, connect the panels of the first two rows on the short sides.
10. Check the expansion space to ensure it is at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) [5/8 inch (16mm) for areas
that will be exposed to temperatures greater than 85°F (30°C)] and make sure the first two
installed rows are perfectly straight. A chalk line can help ensure the installed planks are
aligned. Adjust the straightness of your floor as necessary.
11. Continue installation row by row toward the opposite side of the room. Always check each joint
to ensure a good locking connection before continuing to the next plank. Press down gently
with your thumb on top of every short end joint to ensure a good locking connection.
An expansion space of 1/4 inch (6 mm) [5/8 inch (16mm) for areas that will be exposed
to temperatures greater than 85°F (30°C)] around the perimeter of the room should
be maintained; this same expansion space should be maintained when using transition
moldings. Otherwise, there is no need for additional expansion space within or between
rooms.
Finishing
You may walk on your new Pergo Extreme floor immediately after installation.
1. Inspect the final surface of the installed floor. Install base molding to the wall. Never attach the
base to the floor itself. In places where profiles or base cannot be installed, fill the expansion
space with silicone.
