In places where it is too difficult to install the Uniclic® planks with the tapping block (e.g. against the
wall), you can tap them together using the pull bar and a hammer. (See diagrams 5A – 5B - 5C.)
There must be an 8 to 10mm (5/16” to 3/8”) expansion joint between the last row and the wall. Keep this in
mind when sawing the last row of panels.
Wet Areas
Since prolonged water exposure could damage your laminate flooring, the following installation recommendations
should be closely followed to validate your residential water warranty. Wet areas would include, but are not
limited to, bathrooms, powder rooms, kitchens, mud rooms, foyers, and laundry rooms. Neither Mohawk®
flooring panels nor Mohawk® flooring accessories are recommended for extreme humid applications such as in
saunas or swimming pool areas. The water warranty excludes all products thinner than 8mm and does not apply
to bevelled edge products when used in bathrooms. An expansion area of 8 to 10mm (5/16" 3/8") must be
provided around all vertical obstructions including walls, permanent cabinets, pipes etc. All perimeter expansion
areas must be completely filled in with a water repellant sealant. When applying sealant, it is helpful to first apply
a strip of masking tape parallel to and approximately 1mm (1/32") from the edge of the flooring. Then fill the
expansion area with sealant, remove any excess with a plastic scraper or putty knife, then remove the tape. Let
dry for 24 hours before exposure to water.
Pipes
In rows where there is a pipe, make sure the pipe falls exactly in line with the short side of two panels. Take a
drill bit with the same diameter as the pipe plus 20mm (3/4”) for the expansion. Click the panels together on the
short side and drill a hole in the center of the joint between the two panels. Now you can install the panels in the
floor. (See diagrams 6A-6B-6C.)
When sawing the panels, ensure that the expansion joint under the door is at least 10mm (3/8”). If you cannot lift
the panel, use an adapted tapping block or pull bar and hammer to tap the panels together with the planks flat on
the floor. (See diagrams 7A-7B.)
Remove all spacers.
Install the molding on the plastic membrane that runs up the wall from under the floor. Never attach the
molding to the floor. This method allows the floor to expand and contract under the molding. (See diagram
8A.)
