facing towards the direction of the floor to be installed. Male connectors should be facing away
from the flooring area to be installed.
Start adding sheets of flooring to the left of the initial sheet to form the first row of flooring.
This first row should be as straight as possible to allow further rows to be installed easily. A
guideline is advised to insure a straight line.
Further rows of flooring may be added, beginning from the right and moving left.
Do not start rows from both the right and left as this may result in an uneven floor that does
not connect easily at the center.
For larger installations, do not begin too many rows without completing the previous row. A
good rule of thumb is to begin the next row only when the people connecting the previous row
are about 5 sheets from the end of the next row. This leaves enough space to install several
rows without unwanted “drifting” of the floor. Edging may be used to transition from the
ground surface onto ArmorDeck. Connect male or female edge pieces as required utilizing the
same connection system as ArmorDeck flooring.
Field lines can be used to insure flooring is being installed in a straight line. This is particularly
important for the first row of flooring, which will set the trend for the entire field.
For stadium-sized installations, we recommend dividing your installation team into multiple
groups containing 3-4 persons, each with a specific responsibility. One person in each group
should be the designated “Locker” – locking sheets together with the cam locks with the T-bar.
The last person (or two) should be the “Transporter(s)” - bringing material from pallets to the
line. The Transporter(s) should constantly ferry materials from the pallet to the row for
installation.
During stadium installations, it is very important to stage pallets as close to the installation area
as possible, so that the distance traveled with new materials into position is minimized. Ideally,
forklifts should be used to place pallets on the field (if possible) at strategic locations.

Disassembling an ArmorDeck Floor
In order to rapidly disassemble your ArmorDeck floor, we recommend that you start at the
opposite corner from where you began installation (i.e. upper left). The corner to begin break
