Adhesive Application
Only apply as much adhesive as can be covered within
the working-time, typically to only one side of the starting
line at a time. Apply the adhesive slowly and evenly to
the substrate at the appropriate angle using the specied
trowel notch. Avoid skips, puddles or sharp trowel turns.
Allow the specied open time for the adhesive, depending
on the porosity of the substrate and the site conditions.
The adhesive may need to be dry to the touch prior to
installation - refer to the product instructions for specic
requirements.
Flooring Installation
After the appropriate adhesive open time has been
reached, install the oor covering, including perimeter cuts.
Make sure that all arrows on the back are pointed in the
same direction. Follow the starting line, keeping all joints
snug without over-compressing the material. Make sure
the starting row is straight - the acceptable straightness
tolerance is within 1/16-in. for lengths over 20-ft. or 1/32
-in. for lengths under 20-ft.. After each area of ooring is
completed (< 1-hour), roll it slowly, rst width then length,
using a 100 lb. three-section roller. Failure to roll correctly
may result in bond failure.
Repeat this process for the remainder of the installation. If
adhesive gets on the surface of the material or has dried on
the surface, immediately remove it in accordance with the
adhesive manufacturer's cleaning instructions.
Post-Installation
Visually inspect the installation to ensure that the
appearance is uniform and straight, that all seams are tight
and correctly staggered/spaced. When spot cleaning, do
not apply abrasive or solvent-based cleaners directly to
the surface of the oor covering. When required, protect
newly installed ooring with construction grade paper
or protective boards, such as Masonite, Ram Board or
plywood, to prevent damage from other trades. Take
photographs and have any required documentation signed
and led following completion. Save three or more extra
pieces of material in the original packaging as attic stock
for the lifetime of the oor. In the unlikely event of a
product issue, attic stock can play a crucial role in product
identication, color matching, product claim verication
and possible repairs.
3. Flooring Protection
Do not slide or drag heavy objects across the oor. When
moving appliances, heavy furniture or equipment, protect
the ooring with appropriate, hard surface furniture sliders
or 1/2-in. plywood.
All furniture casters or glides must be intended for resilient
ooring and made of a soft material, such as a felt, silicone
or a poly-based material. Casters and glides must have
a at contact point that is at least 1 -sq. in. or 1.125-in. in
diameter to limit indentation and ooring or nish damage.
All rolling seating in desk areas must have chairs that
use soft, W-Type polyurethane wheels or have a resilient
ooring chair pad installed over the nished oor to protect
it. Do not use nylon/hard plastic wheels, glides or casters.
All xed furniture legs or corners must have permanent
oor protectors installed on all contact points to reduce
indentation, wear, scratching and other ooring or nish
damage. Floor protectors must be intended for resilient
ooring and made of a soft material (such as a felt, silicone
or a poly-based material). Floor protectors must have a at
contact point of at least 1 -sq. in. or 1.125-in. diameter and
must cover the entire bottom surface of the furniture leg.
Do not use nylon/hard plastic oor protectors or furniture
feet.
Ensure all furniture castors and chair legs are clean and
free of all dirt and debris. Routinely clean chair castors and
furniture legs to ensure that dirt or debris has not built
up or become embedded in castors or oor protectors.
Replace chair castors and oor protectors at regular
intervals, especially if they become damaged or heavily
soiled. Felt oor protection devices may need to be replaced
3 or more times a year to prevent accumulation. Use an
eective walk-o mat or system at all outdoor entrances/
exits and prevent water from accumulating. Ensure mats
are manufactured with non-staining backs to prevent
discoloration.
