       8 . A method for installation of tongue and groove material comprising the steps of
 a). use of universal device for parquet installation for the frontal part of the parquet:   1). Cut off a segment of the frontal part of the new plank/strip parquet material (along the longer part of the parquet material). This cut segment of the parquet material must include tongue of the parquet material.   2). Place the cut segment of frontal part of parquet material on the base of the second metal part painted in green color, so that the longest side will be pressed toward metal side and the shorter side of the two perpendicular sides of said cut segment will be pressed toward the side of the metal part. Cut segment must be placed in such a way that the face part of it will be facing upward and the tongue of the parquet material facing in the opposite direction from the curve of the metal part. On the bottom of the cut segment make a mark (the dot) with the pencil or marker through the holes in the metal part. Then remove the cut segment of the parquet material from the metal part.   3). Drill two holes in said cut segment of the parquet material in the previously marked places with the drill.   4). Take a wooden part painted in green color (with words “FRONT” written on one surface of it). During installation process this part is used to press cut segment of the front part of the tongue and groove parquet material toward metal side. Place said wooden part painted in green color on the top of the installing parquet material in such way that the holes in the wooden part and holes of the cut segment of the parquet material coincide and the word “FRONT” was facing up).   5). Insert two Carriage Bolts into two holes in the second metal part colored in green in such a way that the Carriage Bolts will go through the two holes of the second metal part, two holes of the cut segment of the parquet material, and the two holes of the wooden part painted in green color (with words “FRONT” written on one surface of it).   6). Place described above members on two Carriage Bolts in the following order: first place one Lock Washer HDC, then one Wing Nut Coarse on each of two Carriage Bolts. Then screw in Wing Nut Coarse until all parts of the device are attached tightly.   7). insert the tongue of the universal device for parquet installation for the frontal part into the groove of the frontal part of the installing parquet material under a slight angle. Check whether tongue of the universal device fully inserted into the groove of the parquet material. Then using two fingers of the same hand pressing universal device for frontal part toward the floor or the installing surface. Taking a hammer with the other hand hitting the metal part of the device on the longest side of it with the hummer abruptly but not too strongly, whereby universal device get into the connection with the parquet material.   b). use of universal device for parquet installation for the side part of the parquet:   1). Cut off a segment of the side part of the new plank/strip parquet material (along the shortest part of the parquet material). This cut segment of the parquet material must include groove of the parquet material.   2). Place the cut segment of side part of parquet material on the base of the first metal part painted in red color, so that the longest side will be pressed toward metal side and the shorter side of the two perpendicular sides of said cut segment will be pressed toward the side of the metal part. Cut segment must be placed in such a way that the face part of it will be facing upward and the tongue of the parquet material facing in the opposite direction from the curve of the metal part. On the bottom of the cut segment make a mark (the dot) with the pencil or marker through the holes in the metal part. Then remove the cut segment of the parquet material from the metal part.   3). Drill two holes in said cut segment of the parquet material in the previously marked places with the drill.   4). Take a wooden part painted in red color (with words “BACK” written on one surface of it). During installation process this part is used to press cut segment of the side part of the tongue and groove parquet material toward metal side. Place said wooden part painted in red color on the top of the installing parquet material in such way that the holes in the wooden part and holes of the cut segment of the parquet material coincide and the word “BACK” was facing up).   5). Insert two Carriage Bolts into two holes in the first metal part colored in red in such a way that the Carriage Bolts will go through the two holes of the first metal part, two holes of the cut segment of the parquet material, and the two holes of the wooden part painted in red color (with words “BACK” written on one surface of it).   6). Place described above members on two Carriage Bolts in the following order: first place one Lock Washer HDC, then one Wing Nut Coarse on each of two Carriage Bolts. Then screw in Wing Nut Coarse until all parts of the device are attached tightly.   7). insert the tongue of the side part of the installing parquet material into the groove of the universal device for parquet installation for the side part under a slight angle. Check whether tongue of the parquet material fully inserted into the groove of the universal device. Then using two fingers of the same hand pressing universal device for side part toward the floor or the installing surface. Taking a hammer with the other hand hitting the metal part of the device on the longest side of it with the hummer abruptly but not too strongly, whereby universal device get into the connection with the parquet material.
