Glue Down Installation

PLEASE NOTE: ANY EXCESS GLUE WHICH SEEPS ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE FLOOR MUST BE REMOVED

IMMEDIATELY WITH ADHESIVE REMOVER

Step 1 – Establish a Starting Line

•

Lay out the direction of the floor. If it is to be in parallel to the joist, reinforce subfloor with a layer of 1/2" CDX ply.

• Select a straight starter wall.

•

Mark the starting line using a chalk line or a string between two nails. This distance between the wall and the

line should equal the width of 2 floor planks (face width only) plus 1" (3/4" expansion gap plus 1/4" standard

tongue width = 1"). Install a straight edge parallel to the starter wall to ensure straight alignment of starter rows.

Step 2 – Install the First and Second Rows

• Lay the first plank behind the line with the tongue facing the center or the room. Position the edge of the tongue

on the line. Leaving a 3/4" gap between flooring end and the wall.

• On the groove side, pre-drill and face nail.

• On the tongue side, pre-drill at 45° angle and hand blind nail through the nailing “pocket” on top of the tongue.

• Counter sink the nails with nail set. Repeat same method to complete first row.

• On the second row, if you can safely use your power nailer, use it. If not: pre-drill the tongue at 45° angle and

repeat hand blind nailing with finish nails as above. Remember to stagger the end joints.

Care and Maintenance

Daily Maintenance

1. Sweep dust mop or vacuum your floor regularly to remove any particles that could cause abrasion or scratch your floor.

CAUTION: Vacuums with a beater bar or power rotary brush head can damage a floor and should never be used.

2. Use a damp mop to remove spots and soil. Apply appropriate cleaning solution to the cleaning cloth / mop. Do NOT

apply directly to the floor.

• For lightly soiled area, clean with distilled water.

•

For moderately soiled area, use a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly

referred to as rubbing alcohol and is sold in 50% to 70% concentrations. This product should be diluted by mixing one

part alcohol and 2 parts distilled water.

• For tougher spots, use a higher concentration of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water.

• For extreme cases, a solution of nail polish remover and distilled water can be used.

HINT: For best results, clean the floor in the same direction of the planks. When the cleaning cloth/mop becomes soiled,

rinse or replace it with a clean one. Following up with a clean, dry cloth will remove residual streak marks and spots.

3. Do NOT leave any amount of liquids (water, juice, soft drinks, spills, etc.) on the floor. Clean any wet spots immediately.

4. Do NOT use a steam cleaner.

5. Do NOT use a wet mop or douse floor with water or liquid cleaners. Liquid can seep between the cracks and cause

moisture damage.

6. Do NOT use any cleaning agents containing wax, oil or polish. Left over residue will form a dull film.

7. Do NOT use steel wool or scouring powder which will scratch the floor.

Branded or Off-the-shelf Floor Care Products

• If none of the above are effective and you choose to use a store bought product, test the product in a

non-conspicuous area (i.e., closet, corner, or scrap pieces) for potential adverse side effects.

Preventative Maintenance

• Protect your floor when using a dolly for moving furniture or appliances. Protective sheets and/or plywood may be

needed. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the floor.

• Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and other heavy objects.

• Avoid excessive exposure to water from being tracked in during periods of inclement weather.

• Minimize abrasive material and dirt by placing mats on both sides of exterior doors and by using area rugs in

high-traffic areas.

• Rearrange furniture and rugs periodically to avoid uneven color and shade changes from light exposure.

• Use protective mats beneath rolling chairs and keep furniture casters clean.

• Keep pets’ nails trimmed.

• Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or exceptionally pointy heels before walking on the floor.

Climate Maintenance

• Care should be taken to control humidity levels within the 35% - 55% range. Flooring, especially hardwood and

bamboo, dimensions will be affected by varying levels of humidity.

• Dry Climates: A humidifier is recommended to maintain humidity levels. Wood stoves and electric heat tend to

create very dry conditions during the winter months this also will cause shrinkage in flooring.

• Humid, Wet Climates: By using an air conditioner, heater, or dehumidifier proper humidity levels can be maintained

to prevent excessive expansion due to high moisture content.

Floor Repair

• Very light and small surface scratches can be repaired with a staining “touch up” pen of the appropriate color.

• Slightly deeper scratches can be repaired by means of colored putty and or stains. Fill the scratches with the putty.

Level with putty knife. Wipe off excess putty.

• Very deep scratches may require the replacement of the planks.

Installer

Step 3 – Install the Remaining Rows

• If the pneumatic or power nailer cannot be used on the next row, repeat the second row installation method until

the power nailer can be used.

• When the pneumatic nailer can be used, blind nail the rows on the tongue side. Place nails at the same intervals

as the previous rows.

• Remember to maintain minimum 6" end joints stagger between rows.

Step 2 – Spreading the Glue

• Spread the glue from the straight edge or chalk line out, in the

direction of the starting wall. 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.

• You will repeat the same procedure with each succeeding rows.

Step 3 – Install the Starter Rows (first two rows)

• Installation begins from the straight edge with tongue facing away from the wall. Allow expansion gap between

the wall and the end of the board.

• Install the second starter row. Use 75 pound roller or weigh them down while the glue sets. Allow the glue to set.

• Remove the straight edge.

Step 4 – – Install the Last Row

• Use the pull bar to draw the last row to fit tightly to the previous row.

• Face-nail the last row on the tongue side.

• If the last row is less than 1" wide, it should first be glued to the previous uninstalled row and the two joined unit

should be face nailed as one.

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.

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.

• Be attentive to staggering the ends of the boards correctly in adjacent rows to avoid clustering end joints.

• Ensure that a 3/4" expansion gap is maintained around the perimeter of the room.

• Make sure that there is 100% adhesive contact between the underside of the planks and subfloor.

• Any excess glue which seeps onto the surface of the floor must be removed immediately with adhesive remover.

• The glue should not be applied in the groove or the tongue of the flooring.

•

Tap the planks together until the tongue and groove “snap” into place. Be careful NOT to damage the face of the planks.

• Use a clean, smooth, 75 pound roller to roll the flooring immediately after installation and after every 150 square

foot interval during the installation to insure proper adhesive transfer.

• The flooring should be taped together during installation using 3M blue masking tape to keep the planks from

moving during installation. The tape must be left in place for a minimum of 24 hours. Flooring straps can be

used to pull boards together and hold them in place while the glue dries.

• After the installation is completed, keep the floor free from foot traffic for a minimum of 24 hours to allow

adhesive to properly set.

T-Molding
