INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
- Generally, you will want the floorings to run the length of the room to wards a natural source of light for aesthetic reasons.
- Under cut the bottom of the door frames, wardrobes, etc. to allow for the floor board and underlay to fit under it.
- Open 4 or 5 packs and “shuffle” the boards to ensure an even distribution of colour and character.
- If you discover a defective piece, DO NOT LAY IT. You are the final judge of acceptable quality.
- Mark a straight line parallel to the chosen wall, allowing a 15mm gap for expansion. It may be necessary to scribe the first row of boards to achieve correct alignment.
- The first board should be laid groove to the wall allowing for expansion of approx..15mm between the wall and first board.
- The last board in the first row should be fitted using a puller bat ensuring a 15mm expansion gap at the head of the board.
- The second row and all following rows should be started with the off-cut from the last board on the previous row. It is necessary to ensure that the end joint of adjoining rows are at least offset 150mm.
