Procedure for cutting and placement of floor panels
I M P O R T A N T
Depending on the floor panel type, additional panel supports (pedestals) may
be necessary to maintain the structural integrity of an uncut panel, or to
restore the integrity of a cut floor panel.
Ensure adequate floor space is available to place the frames over the
floor panels exactly as shown on the drawing
1. Identify the panels needed, and list the total quantity of each panel required for
the installation.
2. Cut the required quantity of panels.
3. Additional panel supports (pedestals) are recommended to restore the
structural integrity of the cut floor tile panels.
4. When cutting the panels, you must adjust the size of the cut for the thickness of
the edge molding you are using. The dimensions shown are finished
dimensions.
5. For ease of installation, number each panel as it is cut as shown on the panel
specification pages.
6. Use the raised floor diagram to install the panels in the proper positions.
7. You will need two uncut floor tiles to temporarily replace A2 and A3 during the
physical placement of the frames. After frame placement, the uncut tiles can be
removed and the cut tiles for A2 and A3 replaced in the floor.
