Lengthen Flooring Tapping Block Key benefits Protects tongues and edges during flooring installation by tapping with a soft head mallet rather than a metal hammer, preventing damage to the floor during set‑in of each plank. Joins flooring planks without harming the floor and helps close gaps, especially between longer planks, for tightly aligned joints. Durable and ergonomic design that makes installation easier and more reliable. What it is and how it's built LARGE HANDLE DESIGN: Easy to grip and comfortable to hold; prevents hitting your hand when using a hammer. Allows you to exert force more comfortably. MATERIAL: All made from nylon; nylon integrally formed for longlasting durability. SCREW EMBEDDED DESIGN: Builtin screw system to avoid stressing or harming the floor; ergonomic handle designed for quick and easy placement during installation. How to use Tapping method: Use with a soft head mallet only to protect tongues and edges; never use a metal hammer on the tapping block. Gap closing: To close gaps, place the block against the edge of a laminate or hardwood plank, then tap with a hammer for a tightly joined floorboard. Particularly effective for gaps between longer planks. Specific use scenarios Scenario 1: During laminate or hardwood flooring installation, position the tapping block at the edge joints and gently tap to seat each plank into the groove without damaging the tongues or edges. Scenario 2: When working with long planks, use the tapping block along the run to close gaps and achieve flush, tightly joined boards. Scenario 3: Edge and transition work near walls or fixtures, where controlled tapping is required to align boards without risking floor damage. Compatibility and applications Suitable for laminate and hardwood flooring planks. Helps achieve precise joints and uniform gaps across a floor installation.
