How to Install the Last Row of Laminate Flooring - Installation Tutorial
- Universal Installation: This tutorial walks you a universal installation of the last row of laminate flooring. It can be used in any type of room including one that may have obstacles, cabinets or tight spaces.
Step 1: Measure the Gap: In most cases, the last row of flooring will need to be cut in order to fit the space. You will need to measure the gap between the last installed plank and the wall. Remember to factor in the expansion gap!
Tip: Measure the gap at each end of the plank to get an accurate measurement. Walls can bow in or out causing a slightly different measurement at the beginning and end of a plank.
Step 2: Expansion Gap: Be sure to exclude the expansion gap in your measurement! .25” for a room under 30 ft. in length, .5” for over 30 ft. in length. Your moldings should cover this gap.
Step 3: Mark your Plank: Once the width of the plank is determined, mark the plank with a pencil according to the cut needed. Use another plank as your straight edge guide.
Tip: If the side of the plank with a locking system is against the wall, you will want to trim the plank so it has a smooth, solid edge butting against the wall.
Step 4: Cut your Plank: Use a saw to cut the plank with the decorative side up. We recommend using a jigsaw or table saw.
Jigsaw: Use a laminate cutting blade, which has a medium tooth, downstroke blade.
Table Saw: Use a medium tooth carbide blade with upside down teeth.
Step 5: Lock in the Plank: Add spacers to the end of the plank. Tilt the plank into the locking system at a 45 degree angle.
Tip: Before installing, check to make sure the plank fits. You may have to cut more of the plank to fit if your previous cut wasn’t as precise.
Step 6: Use a Pull Bar: Use a pull bar along the side of the plank, pushing the plank down and into the locking system securely Do this along the full plank.
Hint: Depending on the locking system, you may need to connect several planks together and install all at one time. The ends may not be able to connect plank by plank.
Step 7: The Next Plank: Repeat steps 1-4 to measure and cut the next plank for installation.
Step 8: Trim the Track: In most cases, it will be hard to lock your plank in two both locking systems. You can trim the track down with a blade or end of the pull bar to prepare for gluing the planks together.
Step 9: Glue the Planks: After the track is trimmed, apply woodworkers glue on the joint. Position the next plank on an angle to connect into the locking system without lowering the edge onto the glue.
Step 10: Tap Together: Use the pull bar on the side of the plank like previously stated. To secure the first and second plank, use a tapping block to connect the ends of the first and second plank in the last row.
Step 11 – Continue Installing: Continue installing the planks until you are at the end of the row. Now you’re ready to install your moldings!

How to Install Allure GripStrip Flooring - Official Installation Instructions...AllureFlooring
Official guide on how to easily install Allure GripStrip flooring. These step by step installation instructions will help you keep the installation of your beautiful new resilient vinyl plank flooring simple and easy.
1. Welcome to the Tiling section, this part of the guide will take
you through the process of replacing a broken tile.
To complete this task you will need the following items:
• Replacement tile/tiles
• Tile Adhesive
• Tile grout (ready mixed is easier)
• Masking tape
• Electric drill with 5mm masonry bit
• Cold chisel
• Wood chisel
• Tile adhesive spreader
• Tile Spacers
• Grout spreader
• Grout rake
• Plastic grout finishing tool
• Safety goggles, appropriate work
gloves
When working with ceramic tiles always wear safety goggles and thick
work gloves !
Place the masking tape in two strips diagonally to
form an X shape on the tile as shown in Fig 1.1
Using the 5mm bit drill holes at intervals along each
strip of masking tape as shown in Fig 1.2 this will
help stop the drill bit slipping, only drill the depth of
the tile, you could wrap a piece of masking tape
around the drill bit at the required depth to use as a
guide.
Next using the grout rake remove all the old grout
from around the tile, ensuring not to damage the
surrounding tiles.
Now get your cold chisel and hammer and chip
away at the tile starting from the middle and work
your way out to the edges along the masking tape.
Next remove the masking tape, you may find that
most of the tile comes away with the tape, use the
wood chisel bevel side down to remove any bits of
tile that are left taking care not to damage the
surrounding tiles. When you have removed all of
the tile remove any old grout that may be left.
Fig 1.1
Fig 1.2
2. Now gently remove the old tile adhesive from the
wall taking care not to slip with the chisel (see Fig
1.3) and damage any of the other tiles, leave
yourself with a nice flat surface for applying the tile
adhesive.
To give yourself a guide place the tile into the space
to see if it fits and to make sure it is even, if the tile
rocks then the surface is not even. This will also
give a guide as to how much tile adhesive will need
to be applied.
Next take the replacement tile and apply the
adhesive to the back of the tile using the adhesive
spreader, use sparingly as the tile has to sit flush.
Now carefully put the tile into place, making sure all
sides/corners are flush with the surrounding tiles.
When you are happy that the tile is flush, clean all
adhesive from the face of the tile and the
surrounding areas.
Fig 1.3
Use your tile spacers to get an even spacing around
the tile as shown if Fig 1.4 and leave for 24 hours
or however long the tile adhesive manufacturer
recommends.
Once the tile is securely fixed in position remove
the tile spacers and grout around the tile. Use your
plastic grout finishing tool to give the grout a
smooth finish.
When the grout has dried simply polish off with a
dry cloth.
