Installation Guide
The Valinge 2G Pro locking system provides superior locking strength for SPC flooring. It incorporates what is referred to as an "angle/angle" installation method. Please pay careful attention to the installation instructions.
1. Position the planks with the tongue side facing the wall, maintaining a 5/16” (8mm) gap between the planks and the short wall. Use spacers to ensure accurate gap maintenance. After installing three rows, adjust the long side of the flooring to maintain a 5/16” (8mm) gap between the planks and the long wall.
2. Hold the second plank short end tongue against the first plank short end groove at an angle to engage and press the short ends together. Lay the connected planks flat on the floor. Complete the first row by connecting more planks in the same manner.
3. At the end of the first row, measure and cut the final plank to the correct length, leaving a 5/16” (8mm) gap between the plank and the wall for expansion. The recommended minimum length of the final plank is twice the width of the plank.
4. Add the first plank to the second row by positioning the remaining part of the first row’s last plank as first plank of the second row. NOTE: The short ends of the planks in parallel rows must be staggered a minimum of two times the width of the plank. For example, if the plank is 7”wide, the length of the plank stagger needs to be a minimum of 14”.
5. Place the second row plank tongue at an angle against the first row plank groove. Gently tapping the planks together while lifted may help engage the joint between the two planks. Press forward and fold down at the same time to engage the lock.
6. Second plank second row. Place the short end of the plank at an angle against the previous installed plank and fold down to engage the short ends.
7. Lift the engaged planks up just over an inch, push them against the row in front to engage the long side. The use of a wedge with the suitable angle can be placed under the plank near the short side joint as support. The planks can now be folded completely down to horizontal position and if a wedge is used it can be moved to the next short end joint.
8. After 2-3 rows, adjust the distance to the front wall and side walls to keep the gaps at 5/16” (8mm). Install the remaining flooring. Spacers should be removed once the installation is completed.
9. If the wall is uneven, the planks must be cut to match its contours. Mark the planks with the contour of the wall. Do not forget to leave a gap of 5/16” (8mm) to the wall. This procedure must also be used for the first row if necessary.
