Sample: Cedar Bush

Your new luxury vinyl flooring is produced utilising a revolutionary locking system for installing floors without using glue. This locking system is unique because you can install the planks in two different ways:

Method A: 

Angle the plank 20–30° to the installed plank, insert the tongue into the groove, and gently move it up and down with forward pressure until it clicks into place (see diagrams 1A-1B-1C).

Method B:

Tap planks together without lifting using a tapping block. Avoid a single tap—gradually tap to prevent damage (see diagrams 2A-2B).

Installation

• Measure the room’s width and divide by plank width. If the last row is less than 2” (50 mm), trim the first row to balance both edges.
• Start in the left-hand corner. Measure and snap a chalk line at a distance equal to the plank width (or cut plank width) plus expansion space.
• Place expansion spacers along all walls and vertical obstructions (e.g., cabinets, fireplaces) until installation is complete.
• Stagger planks by at least 20 cm (or 25% of plank length). No plank should be shorter than 15 cm. Avoid a brick-like pattern.
• Begin with a full-length plank. Remove the tongue from both long and short sides of all first-row planks. Position them with the grooved edge facing outward.

The following diagrams illustrate the positioning of planks for the remainder of the installation. This may be achieved by utilising either Method A: Angle/Angle
(diagram 1A-1C) or Method B: Angle/Tap (diagram 2A-2B) methods shown on page 1.

It is very important to follow diagrams 4.1 through 4.16 precisely for a successful installation.

When installing the last row, you may need to use a pull-bar to lock the long side of the planks together. See diagrams 5A – 5B - 5C.
Remember, expansion spacers must be used at all walls and vertical obstructions.

Once installation is completed, remove expansion spacers and cover expansion space with trim. Do not affix trim to the floor, as this will prevent free movement of the floor.
