Instructions

- 1
  Lay a loose row of the flooring. Determine if you need to lengthen the first board to avoid small pieces at the opposite end of the floor.
- 2
  Start at the wall and trim off the top edge facing the wall. Leave a space of about a 1/4 inch for the floor to breath. Keep the under edge out away from the wall.
- 3
  Secure a second plank to the first plank by making sure the edges are interlocking. Use one hand to hold the plank and the other hand to guide the plank into place.
- 4
  Cut a plank at about 2/3 the length for the second row. This will create the staggered effect of the flooring. Score the plank and snap for the length you need.
- 5
  Score the plank and snap for a length of about 1/3 for the third row. Continue this pattern until the floor is complete.
- 6
  Use a hand roller to apply pressure to the seams to ensure they are joined properly. Use a 100-lb. roller to roll across entire floor both ways to make the flooring even and seamless.
