Scribe flooring to walls, columns, cabinets, floor outlets, and other appurtenances to produce tight joints.

Install flooring in pan type floor access covers. Maintain floor pattern.

At movable partitions install flooring under partitions without interrupting floor pattern.

[Install feature strips [, edge strips,] [and floor markings] where indicated. Fit joints tightly.]

INSTALLATION - BASE

Fit joints tight and vertical. Maintain minimum measurement of [18] [____] inches ([45] [____] mm) between joints.
