Installation Guide Center

Choose the product and installation method before opening boxes, adhesives, or finish. These guides group every flooring, wall, underlayment, and coating instruction customers commonly need before work starts.

Start with the product you are installing

Most installation mistakes happen when a floating plank guide, glue-down tile guide, wall panel guide, or finish guide is used for the wrong product. Start here, then follow the matching checklist.

Critical Before Any Floor

Use this checklist before acclimation, layout, adhesive, or finish work begins.

  • Match the guide to the exact product type.
    Floating, glue-down, wall, and coating instructions are not interchangeable.
  • Confirm the room and subfloor conditions.
    Kitchen, bathroom, flood-risk, radiant heat, and concrete conditions can change the correct method.
  • Confirm supplies before starting.
    Use the correct adhesive, transitions, stair nosing, underlayment, and finish.
  • Ask before installation if anything is unclear.
    It is easier to correct a product or method before adhesive or finish is applied.

Swiss specialty flooring guides

Use these when the floor is leather, TechSlate, LinoDesign, or another Swiss performance floor. These products can require different installers, adhesives, and site preparation than standard cork planks.

Wall, ceiling, and acoustic panel guides

Wall products are installed differently from flooring. Choose the guide that matches the panel core and surface.

Preparation, underlayment, and installation supplies

Before the installer arrives, confirm the underlayment, adhesive, transition profile, and stair nosing that match the floor.

Finishes, protection, and care

Finish and maintenance instructions matter most for glue-down cork tiles, site-finished floors, and floors that need extra protection after installation.

Need help before installation?

Send the product name, room type, subfloor, and whether the project is floating or glue-down. The team can point you to the correct guide before the installer starts.
