IV. FINISHING THE INSTALLATION
• Commercial glue down LVT must be rolled with
a minimum 100-pound, three-section oor roller
immediately after installation
• Roll the ooring in both directions to rmly seat
the tile into the adhesive.
V. DISASSEMBLING
Although the wear surface of commercial glue
down LVT is durable, it is not bulletproof. Should
an accident occur that damages the surface of
the product, a simple repair procedure exists.
The key to this process is having ample material
available to replace the damaged area(s). This
should be considered when placing the original
order. Extra tiles and planks should be wrapped in
their packaging and stored in an interior, climate-
controlled location.
• To remove a tile or plank, gently heat with a hot
air blower to allow the material to become more
exible.
• Insert a thin 2” wide putty knife in the seam
and gently lift up. Be careful not to damage the
surrounding ooring.
• Remove the damaged tile or plank from the
oor. When removing a tile, pay attention to the
orientation of the embossed arrow on the back
of the damaged piece so that the new tile can be
installed in the same direction.
• Inspect the subfloor for lumps of residual
adhesive, remove and smooth out as necessary.
• Using a 1/32” notched trowel, apply a thick
coating of adhesive to the back of the
replacement piece. Provide sucient open time
and then position the tile or plank into the repair
area.
• Roll evenly with a hand roller and, if necessary,
weight the tile or plank for several hours until
the adhesive sets.
