INSTRUCTIONS
2. To allow the planks to acclimate place them in the area in which you are installing for 48-72 hours. Leaving the ends wrapped with plastic. If you are in a drier climate--say, Arizona--give it an extra day.
4. Remove the plastic from the ends of all your bundles and layout your pattern on the floor. Be sure to incorporate planks from different bundles to create a mix of colors.
5. We recommend beginning your project in the bottom corner and working your way up.
