Tools needed

• Utility knife & straight edge

• Measuring tape

• Dead Blow Mallet

• Shears for cutting around irregular

shaped objects (pipes)

• 8mm spacers

• Pencil

• Tapping Block

Planks needed to complete your project. Measure and multiply the length & width of your

room. If the room has alcoves or offsets, measure these separately. This will give you the square meters of the room. Purchase a minimum of 10% extra to cover mistakes, trimming and for future needs andor replacement. Most installations require about 10% overage. However this can vary depending upon the room size and layout.

CLICKinstallation limitations:

Do not installCLICKover carpet or any foam underlayment. This product is not recommended for any outside use, sunrooms/solariums, saunas, seasonal porches, camping trailers, boats, RV's or rooms that have a potential of flooding. Protect CLICK from direct sunlight using window treatments or UV tinting on window.CLICKis not intended for use on vertical surfaces.

Three-season rooms (Residential Applications only)

CLICK click is permitted in residential “three-season rooms” when installed in strict compliance with the instructions listed below.

. Maximum room size of 500Sq.Ft.(46.5Sq.m)

.Room must be completely enclosed(roof,floor,walls and windows) and not exposed to any outside elements.

.Installation must occur at room temperature between 50ºF and 100ºF(10ºC and 38ºC)

. Allow 10mm expansion space around perimeter and all fixed objects.

. Do not put extremely heavy objects on the paved floor

CLICKis a floating floor system — i.e. must be free to expand and contract. Do not glue, nail, screw or fasten to substrate. Install cabinetry, island and peninsula counters, vanities, tubs, and showers first. Then install

CLICKaround them. Skirtings fitted extremely tightly/glued to the floor may inhibit expansion.

ConditionCLICKprior to installation

The Installation ofCLICKdoes not require acclimation. However we recommend installation in rooms with temperatures between 10°C & 38°C. Product should be stored horizontally in a dry area away from direct sunlight. Do not leave next to heat or cooling ducts. Ensure that all trades have been completed to eliminate dry wall dust, paints, etc.

NOTE: IfCLICKis subjected to extreme hot or cold temperatures prior to installation it may make the

product more difficult to install or cause damage to the locking system. Allow the product to reach room temperature before installation.
