panel joints. Additionally, all access panels should be sound, level and edges firmly
secured to the raised flooring pedestals.
Note:

When non-asbestos containing cut-back or any incompatible adhesive is present,
existing adhesive has evidence of plasticizer migration, or EcoFlex ICT (PVC) products are
being installed, the existing adhesive must be properly removed and Mohawk Group’s
OptiSeal must be applied over the adhesive residue. Chemical adhesive removers cannot be
used to remove old existing adhesives.
Site Layout
1. The starting point in a modular installation must be as near to the center of the room as
possible and must be positioned to utilize the largest perimeter cut module size.
2. Snap a chalk line parallel to one major wall bisecting the starting point. It will be necessary to
offset the center chalk line to assure perimeter modules will be at least half size.
3. A second chalk line must be snapped from the starting point at 90° to the first line. This can be
accomplished using a 6-8-10, or larger triangle, depending on the room size. (See Illustration
A) Meters or feet will be used to lie out the triangle in these proportions. Framing square can
also be used.

accomplished by selecting pallets in sequential order.
