Large Rooms and Long Corridors
Any dimension over 100’ must have a 2’ wide band of Mohawk EnPress adhesive applied to the
floor with a 3/8” nap roller or a 1/16” x 1/32” x 1/32” trowel to help prevent the movement in the tile.
This should be done in equal dimensions proportionate to the overall length or width.
(EnPress PSA for ICT tiles and EnPress NXT for NXT tiles)
Stairs
FlexLok is NOT recommended for stairs
Ramps and Inclines
FlexLok is NOT recommended for ramps, inclines or under heavy rolling loads. Mohawk PS
adhesives must be used in these areas.
Carpet over Carpet
FlexLok is NOT recommended for carpet over carpet installations.
Chair Pads
Chair pads are not required, but are recommended for use under chairs with roller casters. Casters
must be the flat round type with 5/8” to 1” width minimum. If chair pads are not used, the
appearance of the carpet tile will decrease. Maintenance and/or shifting of the modular tiles will be
required more frequently when pads are not used.
Replacement Tiles
Occasionally, it will be necessary to replace damaged or heavily soiled tiles. Tiles can be replaced
with on-site inventory or from another area of the installation. A difference of appearance will be
noticed when the tile is replaced, however, this difference usually diminishes in a short time. When
replacing tiles, a new tab must be used.
