Installation Instructions

EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 2011

SUGGESTED TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES

• Pneumatic/Manual Nailer/Stapler • Electric Mitre Saw • Broom or Vaccum • Wood Filler • Touch Up Kit

• Tape Measure • Chalk Line & Chalk • Pry Bar • Safety Glasses • Hammer

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Flooring must be protected from adverse moisture conditions during its

transportation and must be stored 4” or more off the ground in dry

warehouses under conditions which will prevent a signicant change in its

moisture content. Flooring should be delivered to job site 3 to 5 days before

installation. Open cartons and allow ooring to acclimate.

SUBFLOOR

Installer should ensure suboor is nailed properly.

1. Construction:

a. 5/8” minimum thickness, preferred 3/4” or thicker exterior plywood

installed with long edges at right angle to oor joists and staggered so

that end joints in adjacent panels break over different joists. Nail at each

bearing with 6d threaded or 8d common nails spaced 6” on-center along all

outer bearing edges and 10” on-center along intermediate joists.

b. 1” x 4” to 6” wide, square-edged, kiln-dried coniferous lumber, laid

diagonally over 16” on-center wooden joists: the ends of all boards

are to be cut parallel to the center of the joist for solid bearing. Face

nail each board solidly at every bearing on the joists with two nails

(7d threaded or 8d common).

c. 3/4 inch min. O.S.B. on 19.2 inch center or less oor joists system

properly nailed.

d. Baseboards should be installed so that their lower edge is slightly above the

level of the nished oor, but not nailed into the oor.

2. Check basement and crawl spaces: these must be dry and ventilated when

strip ooring is to be installed over them. In crawl spaces a vapor barrier

should be provided. Vapor barrier must be provided below suboor on ground

(6 or 8 mil. poly).

3. 3/4” solid ooring is not recommended to be installed below grade. New

wood type suboors should also be checked for moisture using a moisture

meter. In general wood or plywood suboors should not exceed 14% moisture

content, with a maximum moisture variance not to exceed 4% difference

between wood ooring and suboor. Check with your local distributor for your

geographical variances.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Time at which to install 3/4” solid ooring: All wet trades must be

complete and dry well in advance before delivery and installation of wood

ooring may begin. The building interior shall have been dried and

seasoned and a comfortable working temperature (at least 60°F.) should

exist during the ooring installation. New wood type suboors should also

be checked for moisture using a moisture meter. In general wood or

plywood suboors should not exceed 14% moisture content, with a maximum

moisture variance not to exceed 4% difference between wood ooring and

suboor. Check with your local distributor for your geographical variances.

2. Preparation of suboor:

a. Adequate and proper nailing as well as soundness of the suboor should be

ascertained. Foreign material shall be removed from the suboor surface

and swept clean.

b. The clean suboor surface shall be covered, wall-to-wall, with 15-lb. asphalt

saturated felt. Lap the edges of this felt 4” when positioning it. Double the

felt around heat ducts in the oor.

NOTE: RED ROSIN PAPER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THIS APPLICATION

3. Laying direction of strip ooring: ooring should be laid at right angles to the

oor joists and, if possible, in the direction of the longest dimension of the

room.

4. Starting to lay strip ooring: begin laying T&G strip ooring in a room corner

with the long groove of the strips facing the wall. Provide not less than 3/4”

expansion space or what will be covered by the baseboard and trim specied

for the job.

5. End joints of strip: these should be staggered to achieve the best appearance

in the nished oor (Min. 6 inches).

6. Nailing schedule for solid ooring: the rst and last run of strips should be faced

nailed then counter sunk 6” apart. Continue to blind nail each succeeding row

until the nailer/stapler can be used to install the ooring. All other runs to be

nailed at an angle of 45° to 50° on 6” to 8” centers at the tongue, also nail

within 2” of each end joint. (Minimum of 2 fasteners per plank)

7. For pre-nished be sure to check nail gun faceplate to ensure it will not

damage surface nish.

8. To avoid movement in wood oors, the relative humidity should be maintained

year round at 35-55% RH.

SUBFLOOR FLATNESS

Suboors should be at to 3/16” per 8’ radius. If suboor prep work is

required, “hills” should be sanded down and “valleys” lled with an

underlayment patch, developed by a reputable manufacturer for use with

hardwood ooring. Do not sand sub-surfaces such as vinyl or synthetic tiles

that may contain asbestos.

Wood oors are not recommended in full bath or shower rooms.

NOTE: Prior to installation of solid ooring, the jobsite should be fully enclosed

and the heating and/or air conditioning system fully operational. The

thermostat should be adjusted to the expected living conditions of the

owner. Flooring cartons should be opened and the ooring acclimated

for 3-5 days prior to the actual installation.

NOTE: Color uniformity of all grades will be governed by the inherent variations

characteristic of the wood species.

NOTE: • All crawl spaces must have 6 or 8 mil polyethylene covering entire

surface of crawl space.

• Do not install over radiant heated oors!

• Do not install any product with visible defects

Pre-nished 3/4” Strip or Plank Flooring

NOTE: A concrete slab is considered below grade when any part of the slab is

below ground level—for example, walkout basements are below grade.

Particle board is not recommended.

INSTRUCTION SHEET #36MS

WARNING Installation of wood products may create wood dust, which is known to the State of

California to cause Cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for

personal protection.

INSTALLATIONS FOR WIDE WIDTH FLOORS: Floors in widths wider than 3” are subject to greater dimensional change due to variations in

moisture content, and may require longer acclimation times. Additionally, installers should check moisture content in multiple boards and packages

to conrm equal acclimation prior to installation.

WARNING: INSTALLERS AND BYSTANDERS SHOULD WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.
