from area rugs, furniture, or other heavy objects. The dimensions of the cavity to rout should be at least 2.1'' (5.3 cm) wide, 3.8'' (9.7 cm) long, and 0.38'' (9.7 mm) deep. With these allowances, minimum floor plank thickness would be 0.425'' (10.8 mm) thick.

Once the cavity has been routed cleaned sawdust or other debris, first “dry fit” the Floor Sentry into the cavity to ensure proper clearance. Then remove the release liner from the butyl seal and install into the cavity with the butyl seal side adhering to the wood at the bottom of the cavity.
