BEFORE STARTING
Scrape over the floor.
![Scrape over the floor.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/before.jpg)
Scrape off any bumps on the floor and sweep.
STEP1:Roll the sheets out.
Roll out the first sheet.
![Roll out the first sheet.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step1_1.jpg)
Roll out the first sheet and push it to a side of the wall. Cut leaving an extra 10cm on both ends of the sheet.
Measure the width of the floor.
![Measure the width of the floor.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step1_2.jpg)
Measure the width of the floor between the first sheet and the wall, add an extra 5cm and cut.
Draw a line.
![Draw a line.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step1_3.jpg)
Choose a line for a seam using the pattern and draw a line along it.
Roll out the second sheet.
![Roll out the second sheet.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step1_4.jpg)
Roll out the second sheet and match the patterns with the first.
Cut the end of the second sheet.
![Cut the end of the second sheet.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step1_5.jpg)
Place a crack width ruler on the second sheet along the wall and cut. Push the second sheet to the side of wall and match the patterns.
STEP2: Apply an adhesive to the floor.
Spread the adhesive on the floor.
![Spread the adhesive on the floor.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step2_1.jpg)
Roll over half of the sheet, pour the adhesive on the floor and spread it. Apply the adhesive using a spreader and coat the floor evenly.
Open time.
![Open time.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step2_2.jpg)
Allow for open time until the adhesive is ready. The time it will take depends on the season.
Roll the sheet back.
![Roll the sheet back.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step2_3.jpg)
Roll the sheet back over the floor slowly.
Smooth the surface.
![Smooth the surface.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step2_4.jpg)
Smooth the surface to get the air out using a brush.
Repeat the same on the other half.
![Repeat the same on the other half.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step2_5.jpg)
Repeat the same process on the other half of the sheet.
STEP3: Cut off excess.
Cut the ends.
![Cut the ends.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step3.jpg)
Cut the ends of the sheets using a corner cutter and smooth the surface using a roller. You can cut using a smoother or a ruler pushing it into the edge.
STEP4: Cut the seam.
Cut the seam.
![Cut the seam.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step4_1.jpg)
Cut along the line 5mm further outside from the seam.
Smooth the seam.
![Smooth the seam.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step4_2.jpg)
Remove the cut end from the underlying sheet and smooth the seam using a roller.
Pour in seam sealer.
![Pour in seam sealer.](../base/img/construction/flooring-sheets/step4_3.jpg)
Tape over the seam, make a slit in the tape along the seam and pour seam sealer into the slit. Leave it for an hour.
Remove the tape.
