SPC FLOORING INSTALLATION METHOD

1. First, determine how you want the flooring to run. Typically for plank products, the flooring runs the length of the room. There may be exceptions since it is all a matter of preference.

2. To avoid narrow plank widths or short planks lengths near the walls/ doors, it’s important to do some pre-planning. Using the width of the room, calculate how many full boards will fit into the area and how much space remains that will need to be covered by partial planks. Divide the remaining space by two to calculate the width of the partial planks. Do the same along the length.

3. Note that the first row of planks does not need to be trimmed in width, it will be necessary to cut off the unsupported tongue so that a clean, solid edge is toward the wall.

4. 8mm expansion gaps should be kept from the wall during the installation. This will allow space the natural expansion gaps and contraction of the planks.

5. The planks should be installed from right to left. From the top right corner of the room, put the first plank in place so that both the head and side seam grooves are exposed.

6. Install the second plank in the first row by angling the short side tongue into the long side groove of the first plank.

7. To start the second row, cut a plank that is at least 152.4mm shorter than the first plank by inserting the long side tongue into the groove of the plank in the first row.

8. Install the second plank in the second row by inserting the short side tongue into the previously installed first plank long side groove.

9. Align the plank so the short side tongue tip is positioned just over the groove lip of the plank in the first row.

10. Using gentle force and at a 20-30 degree angle, push the short side tongue into the groove of the adjourning plank by sliding along the long side seam. You may need to lift the plank to the right of it slightly to allow for the “sliding” action.

11. The remaining planks can be installed in the room using the same technique. Make sure the required expansion gaps are maintained against all fixed vertical parts (such as walls, doors, cabinets etc).

12. The planks can be cut easily with a utility knife, just score the top of the plank and snap the plank in two.
