Tools Needed for Installation: Hammer,
T-sqaure, Pencil, Flat crowbar, Saw (skil saw or miter saw), Stick saw,
Chisel, Tape measure, Drill, wedges, Wood glue (when floated), and Tapping
block.
 (1)
Lay the first run of boards with the groove side facing the wall. Mark
a straight chalk line to ensure that the first run lies absolutely straight.
Use wedges to ensure proper expansion gap and straightness of the first
run.
 (2)
To cut the last board or a run to length, turn it around so that tongue
is facing tongue or groove is facing groove on both end joints and the
board to be cut is against the wall with proper expansion gap. Then
measure and cut.
 (3)
Turn the cut end towards the wall. Glue the end joint and carefully
tighten it by using a crowbar. Remember to always place a wedge between
crowbar and wall to prevent damage. Lay row by row. Stagger end joints
in adjacent runs by at least 50 cm (20"). Never hammer directly on tongue
or groove but use a tapping block. The first 3 runs must be perfectly
straight. Wait after that for about 45 minutes before you continue.
 (4)
Cut last boards to fit final available space. To ensure correct measurement
of the last run, place board to be cut exactly on top of the last board
installed. Use a short, full width piece of board and place it on top
of board to be cut and tongue flush with the wall. Push the short piece
along the wall and mark on the board to be cut. Use a crowbar to tap
the last boards firmly into place. Remove all wedges after installation
is completed.
 (5)
Cutting of door jambs: Place a piece of floor board with underlayment
underneath, next to the jamb and saw as seen in the picture. The floor
is then inserted underneath door jamb. Remember to maintain proper expansion
gap, even where you cannot see the floor.
  
(6), (7), & (8) For tube openings there must be drilled holes on
the respective positions into the surface of the wood floor, having a
diameter which is at least 20 mm larger than that of the tube. After that
a wedgeshaped piece is cut out like shown on the picture. After installation
of the board this piece can easily be put togehter again with the board
by glueing it there. Attention: The vertical distance between radiators
and floor should always be 6 cm at least!
 (9)
Base boards: Press these down with a piece of board while nailing or
screwing them to the wall. After the installation is finished pleas.
wait at least 24 h before you remove the wedges and cover the expansion
joints with skirting boards/shoe moldings or put furniture on the floor.
 (10)
Turn the cut end towards the wall. Glue the end joint and carefully
tighten it by using a crowbar. Remember to always place a wedge between
crowbar and wall to prevent damage. Lay row by row. Stagger end joints
in adjacent runs by at least 50 cm (20"). Never hammer directly on tongue
or groove but use a tapping block. The first 3 runs must be perfectly
straight. Wait after that for about 45 minutes before you continue.
