EXPANSION

GAPS

GeoWood flooring can be used in areas ranging from 

50°F to 100°F.  The ideal indoor humidity range for 

GeoWood is 35-65% relative humidity.

Leave at least 3/8” expansion spaces between flooring and 
ALL vertical objects (walls, cabinets, pipes, etc.) Large flooring 
runs may require additional expansion space. Flooring runs 
over 40 feet require additional expansion space or 
transitional pieces.
 Undercut door jambs and casings to 
provide adequate expansion space. Do not screw or nail 
cabinetry or other permanent fixtures to a floating floor.

Make sure the subfloor is flat, level, clean and free of 

debris. New concrete must be cured for at least 60 days. 

Test the subfloor moisture prior to installation and apply 

an appropriate moisture barrier such as 6mil Plastic on 

concrete subfloors.

Use 6mil Plastic on Concrete

ACCLIMATE 

FLOORING

For GeoWood flooring, lay boxes flat on the floor and only 
open box ends as shown above.

 Acclimate your floor as 

close to the installation area as possible, for 24 hours in 

normal living conditions.
