    Quick Tips<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Acclimate the flooring according to the instructions. \u00a0It will need to get used to the humidity in the room.<\/li>\n
    2. Cut the flooring into thirds so that you don’t have the seams together – always stagger seams when you are laying the flooring. See this video<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    3. Use a door jamb saw to get under the door jambs see this video<\/a><\/li>\n
    4. Leave a 1\/4″ of space all around to allow for expansion and contraction in different seasons. \u00a0You can always use molding around the edges.<\/li>\n
    5. Lay the flooring. See video<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
