Step 2 – Spreading the glue

• Spread the glue from the starting line out in the direction of the center of the room, the width of two planks. Or spread only enough

glue to install what can be set within 45 minutes (15 minutes of OPEN TIME and an additional 30 minutes for actual installation.
Usually about two rows width coverage). Different manufacturer may require different open time and set time.

• Repeat with the next two rows, etc.

Step 3 – Install the first two rows

• Install the first row of starter planks.
• The last plank of the row may have to be cut and discard because the tongue is gone.
• Install the second row. Make sure there is a random staggering at the end joints of at least 6” apart.
• Be attentive to staggering the ends of the boards correctly in adjacent rows to avoid clustering end joints.
• Any glue that comes in contact with the face of the board should be removed immediately using adhesive remover formulated for the

glue being used. Follow adhesive manufacturer’s instruction on adhesive removal.

Step 4 – Install the remaining Rows

• Spread another section of glue. Never spread more that can be covered before the adhesive is set. If adhesive is set and will not

transfer to the back of the plank, scrape off the adhesive and apply fresh adhesive.

• Continue to install the next rows. Make sure there is a random staggering at the end joints of at least 6” apart.
• Do not forget the 1/2” space for expansion between floor and the walls.
• Repeat the process for additional rows.
• Make sure that there is 100% contact between the wood floor and the adhesive.

Finishing Touches

• Clean the floor.
• Use matching putty where necessary
• Install or reinstall all wall trim pieces. Nail them through the wall, but not to the subfloor to avoid restricting the expansion gap.
• Install transition trim pieces. Nail them to the subfloor, not the flooring.
• At doorways, transitions should be used to protect the edges of the floor and to provide a decorative transition from one floor type to

another.

• If the floor is to be covered, use a breathable material such as cardboard. Do not cover with plastic.
