Floating Floor Installation
1. Score the top of the baseboard with a utility knife (figure A), then remove it with a pry bar (figure B).
2. Start laying the floor on the longest wall and lay a row of tiles to make sure you don't end up with a small piece on the end (figure C).
3. Place a piece next to the doorjamb to determine the correct height to set the jamb saw (figure D). Cut the casing and pry out the pieces with a screwdriver (figure E).
4. Slide the tile under the casing and mark the cut points. Extend the lines using a speed square and make the cutout with a jigsaw (figure F).
5. Set the first tile in place, then the second and subsequent tiles just snap on to the preceding tile (figure G). Snug the tiles together with a tapping block.
6. Straight cuts can be made on a sliding compound miter saw (figure H).
