Always place spacers between the edges of the flooring boards and the walls to ensure optimal space for expansion (Fig. 3). Connect the second panel to the first by placing the interlocking end of the new board at
an angle to the previously installed board and then lower it into a horizontal position to lock securely (Fig. 3a to 3c).

Step 2 – First row |
|
|
Mark the last board in the first row to the required length (place tongue to tongue) and cut it off. Start laying the second row with the leftover piece from the last board of the previous row. Make sure the leftover piece is at least 200 mm in lenght, if not then cut another piece, longer than 200mm. You will need to start all subsequent rows with the off cut piece from the previous row.

Step 3 – Second row |
|
|
When the first row has been laid, begin the second row with the leftover piece from the first row or with a board which has been cut to follow the course of the bevel and/or to achieve a special flooring pattern. Place the tongue of this piece on the lower protruding lip of the first panel of the first row (Fig. 4)
