Installation of board parquet with glue-free connection

The following tools are required for the installation of parquet with glue-free connection: tapping block, installation wedge, puller, hammer, spacers, pencil, saw, tape measure and angle.

Installation instructions

1. Place a noise-absorbing mat (for example, PE foam, 2 or 2.6 mm) on the subfloor, with the edges up. This makes the floor more flexible and quieter when walking. The floors are installed floating, the boards are connected without glue.
2. Start installation from the left corner of the room. The first row of tables is installed with a bulge towards the wall. Once the three rows are in place, the exact expansion gap can be adjusted into place.
3. Push the next board against the first at an angle and turn down. Repeat this all the way across the first row… except for the last board, which needs to be cut to size and sandwiched, allowing for the expansion gap between the wall and the floor (about 15mm). Start the second row with the cut end of the first row. The pitch of the end joints must be at least 50 cm.
4. Push the table at an angle against the previous row and carefully turn down. Do not use force.
5. Push the NOVOLOC mounting wedge (4 cm thick) under the end of the previous board to the left of the board to be installed.
6. Place the new board at an angle on top of the previous one and turn down. Do not bend the table during this time.
7. Lightly tap the table with a NOVOLOC tapping block along the long edge (do not use a hammer).
8. Press the table down slowly, tapping lightly on the long edge with a tapping block if necessary. Remove the wedge and repeat the same with the next boards.
9. After installing the first three rows, the expansion gap between the floor and the wall can be adjusted. Put spacers between the floor and the wall.
10. Sometimes it is necessary to match the first row of panels to a curved wall. Draw the outline of the wall on the boards. Then disassemble the boards of the first row. Carefully lift the longer edge of the table, tapping lightly on the joint. Then cut the boards to the correct width.
11. Put the narrower cut boards back in place from left to right. Push the groove under the bulge of the second row of panels. Check that the next board goes into the end groove of the left panel. Compress the gaps at the shorter ends using a tapping block. Protect the edges. Place the rest of the row as described. Put spacers between the floor and the wall.
12. Drill holes in the panels for the heat pipes. The holes must be at least 20 mm larger than the diameter of the pipe. Saw as shown in the figure. After installing the panel, glue the cut piece in place and cover the hole with a pipe sleeve.
13. When sawing the door frame, use a piece of board to measure the gap.
14. The last row of boards is cut to size, taking into account the expansion space between the floor and the wall, and connected to the previous row. You can now install skirting boards and transition or end moldings in doorways and thresholds.
15. Tables can be installed in both directions if necessary. NOVOLOC is also easy to disassemble, which makes it easy to install in difficult places. If the panel cannot be rotated, for example under door frames or radiators, proceed as follows: remove the locking edge (16) using a chisel. Then apply white glue and slide the board into place horizontally (16b).

One more piece of advice

If the longer edges can only be closed by turning the table downwards, the shorter ones can be tapped directly into place using a tapping block. This may be necessary, for example, at doors or other difficult places.
