These standards tolerate up to 5% defect. Defects may be the result of nature or the manufacturing process.

| How to Install |
Remove packaging and allow flooring to air for 72 hours;
Clean the surface and ensure that it is dry;
Install the flooring on plywood that is 1/2 inch or thicker;
If you are installing the flooring directly over a wood floor, sand the rough and high areas and nail;
If the under-floor is made of concrete, do not install flooring over radiant floor heating.
Arrange the flooring in an appropriate pattern, avoiding clustering and joints;
Use flooring from several boxes to ensure a variety of shades;
Use flooring with minor flaws for cutting;
Install flooring perpendicular to the joists;
Use chalk to trace a line 3/4 of an inch from the wall;
Leave a 3/4 inch space along all walls (baseboards and quarter rounds will conceal space);
Install the first floor board with the groove facing the wall and slide along the line;
Nail the board on the top, at 1/4 inch from the edge closest to the wall;
Nail every 12 inches, leaving 3 inches at each end;
Drive nails into the flooring with the nail punch, and use wax to conceal holes;
Using the power nailer, secure flooring with concealed nails;
If you are unable to use the power nailer because of proximity to the wall, drive the nails into the tongue at a 45 degree angle;
Cut the last piece of flooring in the first row, allowing a 3/4 inch distance between the wall and the end;
Start the second row by selecting a floor board that is at least 6 inches longer or shorter than the one next to it;
REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS WITH ALL THE OTHER FLOOR BOARDS.
Arrange the flooring in an appropriate pattern; avoiding clustering and joints aligning with the prior row by 6 inches;
Install flooring by inserting the groove into the tongue;
Using the power nailer, secure flooring with concealed nails;
Cut the floor boards leaving a 3/4 inch space;
Nail the flooring on the top, a 1/4 inch from the edge closest to the wall;
Nail every 12 inches, leaving 3 inches at each end;
Drive nails into the floor boards using the nail punch, and wax to conceal holes;
Install baseboards using finishing nails (colored nails);
Conceal holes using wax in a shade that matches the wood flooring.
Preferable temperature should be maintained at approximately 17-23 C(62-73F) with a relative humidity of 35-55%. Humidy should never be allowed to drop below 30% as this may cause gapping. |
