1. If the space
contains vertical surfaces such as heating pipes
or room dividers, cut the planks to the correct
length first. Then lay the pieces next to the
places where they are to be installed, measure the
recesses with a measuring stick or tape measure,
and mark accordingly. Now drill holes at the
places you have marked, and make sure you do not
forget to allow a 10 mm gap on each side. Saw the
plank at a 45 degree angle up to the boreholes.
Doing this enlarges the gluing surface. Apply
adhesive to the sawed piece and use the pull bar
to lock the pieces tightly together behind the
heating pipes.
2. To undercut
(i.e. shorten) a door casing, first lay a plank
against the casing with the decorative side facing
down. Then shorten the door casing along the plank
with a hand saw, and finally push the plank
underneath the casing, with the decorative side
facing up.
3. When installing a
floor in rooms that measure more than 12 planks
long and/or 8 panels wide, you must leave
additional expansion space. This applies to
doorways, openings between rooms, wall overhangs,
corners and angles. It is recommended that the
tongues of the panels are removed from areas
around expansion profiles so that sufficient
expansion space is allowed for.
