General Information
Limitations
The optimal operating temperature for use is between
40°F to 90°F (4°C to 32°C). Avoid prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight or other heat sources where temperatures
will exceed 90°F (32°C), as discoloration or damage may
occur. This product is not suitable for heavy rolling loads
or heavy commercial areas. Do not install in areas that
may be subjected to sharp, pointed objects, such as
stiletto heels, cleats or spikes. Do not allow product to be
directly exposed to extreme heat sources, such as self-
cleaning ovens or other high-heat equipment. Do not install
outdoors or in areas that may be exposed to repeated
and sustained UV/IR rays, as product may fade, discolor
or experience excessive movement. Refer to the Material
Usage Guide and, if applicable, the Wet Areas technical
bulletin for a full list of acceptable areas and information
about approved areas of use. Do not use rubber tires,
casters or rubber-backed walk-o mats directly on the
ooring surface, as permanent staining may occur. Do not
install nails, screws, bolts, moldings, accessories or heavy
xed furniture, such as cabinets, counter tops, islands or
commercial equipment, directly on, into or through the
ooring material, as this may restrict the natural movement
of the oor and cause gapping/buckling.

Receiving Material & Storage
Remove all plastic and strapping from the product after
delivery. Conrm that the ooring product color, style and
quantity are correct, and check lot numbers, in the event
you’ve received more than one. Carefully check all materials
for shipping damage and note all damage on the bill of
lading before accepting the delivery. Material accepted with
visible shipping damage that is not reported on the bill of
lading is not covered under warranty. The oor covering
and accessories must be stored in dry indoors conditions
between 40°F to 90°F (4°C to 32°C). Do not store outside
(even in containers) and do not stack pallets.
Warning
All local, state, and federal regulations must be followed;
this includes the removal of in-place asbestos ooring and
adhesive, as well as any lead-containing materials. The
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
has exposure limits for people exposed to respirable
crystalline silica; this requirement must be followed. Do
not use solvent or citrus-based adhesive removers. When
appropriate, follow the Resilient Floor Covering Institute’s
(RFCI) Recommended Work Practice for Removal of
Existing Floor Covering and Adhesive. Always wear safety
glasses and use respiratory protection or other safeguards
to avoid inhaling any dust. The label, installation, and
maintenance instructions along with the technical data
sheet, limited warranty and any appropriate Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) of all products must be read, understood, and
followed prior to installation. Do not leave spills unattended
- wipe up promptly, and allow the oor covering to dry
before tracking.
Documentation
Record and/or photograph the site conditions, test results,
and any corrective measures taken. All relevant pre-
installation documentation, as well original product invoices
and associated shop drawings or project information,
should be stored for the entire warranty period.
Site Conditions & Storage
The prepared installation area must be fully enclosed and
weather-tight. During the installation, any direct sunlight
should be blocked using window treatments or other
protection. The ambient temperature during installation
must be >60°F (16°C), with a recommended maximum of
80°F (27°C). The ooring does not require an acclimation
period.
Note: When installing at temperatures >80°F (27°C), the
width of the expansion gap may increase as the ooring
temperature decreases.
