What are Installation Straps and do I need them for the entire floor?
Pergo Installation Straps are used to secure a large number of plank or tile rows during installation of floors that require glue. They utilize a mechanical ratchet to draw the planks together. We recommend using Pergo Installation Straps for the entire floor to ensure uniformly tight plank joints and to increase the overall speed of installation. Straps are not necessary with glueless floors or with pre-applied glue floors.
