General Disclaimer: 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 (See Page 4). The glue down option would require a high quality construction adhesive.
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 then 1-1/2" into the concrete!
A DOWEL/SCREW B ANCHOR/SCREW Step 4 - Use your preferred method of screw dowel combo:
+ A - Screw + 0.375 x1.25” Wooden Dowel Pin: With
#6 x 1" screws, this option will give you a little bit more flexibility
in case the drill holes are not 100% in line with the trackholes.
Concrete Plastic Make sure you drive the wooden dowel flush with the concrete,
Wooden Slim All-Purpose if it sits a bit high, scrape it flush with a chisel!
Dowel Pin Track Anchor
+ B - Screw + Plastic All-Purpose Anchor: Start all screws
in each hole before you tighten 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 to the other just like you would close a Zip-Lock bag.
