Installation Procedure: With Track, without Glue

Step 1: Install the flooring planks and underlayment, while leaving a 1″ (25 mm) wide gap for the installation of the T Mold.

Step 2: Center the track and shim between the two WPC planks and screw them to the subfloor using #6 x 5/8″ wood screws.

Step 3: Gently press the molding into the track, starting from one end and progressing toward the other. DO NOT TRY TO PUSH THE ENTIRE MOLDING IN ALL AT ONCE.

Installation Procedure: With Track, on Concrete

Never drill into a slab that has radiant heating installed. Be aware of potential gas, electrical, water or low voltage lines present in the slab before starting your project. If unsure about these circumstances, we strongly recommend to use a glue down installation instead. The glue down option requires a high quality construction adhesive.

Step 1: Install the flooring planks including the underlayment by leaving a 1″ inch (25mm) gap for the installation of the T-Mold.

Step 2: Measure the door frame to determine width. Cut the track to the appropriate size of the door opening, leave a 1/2” gap on each side. Lay the track in the position to be installed, and mark each of the holes with a marker/pencil on the concrete floor. Make sure that the track does not shift while marking each hole.

Step 3: Lay the track aside, and drill into the concrete floor by means of a 1/4″ masonry drill bit. Make sure the drill does not ‘dance’ off the mark when starting to drill, as it will otherwise bend the track when affixing to the floor. Drill only as deep as your selection of dowel/screw combo requires. Never drill deeper than 1-1/2″ into the concrete!

Step 4: Use your preferred method of screw+dowel combo.

  • A: Screw + 0.375″ x 1.25″ Wooden Dowel Pin: With #6 x 1″ screws, this option will give you a bit more flexibility in case the holes are not 100% in line with the track holes. Make sure you drive the wooden dowel flush with the concrete. If it sits a bit high, scrape it flush with a chisel.
  • B: Screw + Plastic All-Purpose Anchor: Start all screws in each hole before you tighten each one all the way down. This will ensure that all holes line up properly with the track.

Step 5: Gently press the molding into the track, starting from one end and progressing toward the other. DO NOT TRY TO PUSH THE ENTIRE MOLDING IN ALL AT ONCE.
