transfers to your nger or hand when touched.
• Place the exible vinyl ooring on the adhesive and smooth the surface, rolling the joints with a vinyl seam roller.
• Once installation is complete, do not wet mop the oor for 72 hours.
Permanent Full Spread Installation Instructions
• Prepare the substrate in accordance with the substrate preparation instructions above.
• Porous surfaces require priming, using the manufacturer-approved acrylic latex primer.
• Measure the room and determine starting point. Measure tile width and determine if last tile in row will measure less than half the tile width. If so, trim the
starting tile by the amount needed to result in a nal tile of half width or greater.
• On the starting wall, set a chalk line to ensure a square installation.
• Using a new 1/16 x 1/32 x 1/32 U-notch trowel, apply the manufacturer approved pressure-sensitive adhesive. The application should be uniform. Before
laying the exible vinyl ooring, wait for the adhesive to become dry to the touch, ensuring no adhesive transfers to your nger or hand when touched.
• Place the exible vinyl ooring on the adhesive and smooth the surface, rolling the joints with a vinyl seam roller.
• Once installation is complete, roll entire oor with a 100 lb roller
• Do not wet mop the oor for 72 hours.
NOTE: With a push broom, work out air bubbles by pushing the broom towards the outer walls. NOTE: Drying time will vary depending on substrate
porosity, ambient temperature and humidity.
NOTE: DO NOT wash or scrub the new ooring for at least ve days after the installation. This will allow planks/tiles to properly seat in the adhesive and
prevent excess moisture from interfering with the adhesive bond.
CAUTION: Planks/tiles may be walked on immediately; however, the oor should be protected with plywood when moving heavy furniture and
appliances back into the room.
Care & Maintenance
To help protect and keep your oor clean, follow these proper care and maintenance guidelines:
Preventative Maintenance
• Prevent indentations and scratches by using non-staining oor protectors on the legs of chairs, appliances and all heavy furniture. Floor protectors should
be at least 1-inch in diameter.
• Do not ood the oor or subject it to standing water.
• Protect your oor from tracked-in dirt by using mats at all outside entrances. Mats should have a non-rubberized backing and be marked as non-staining.
• Avoid tracking in tar or asphalt from driveways.
• Avoid high heel shoes on your oor, as they can cause permanent indentations.
• Protect your oors against burns. Burns from cigarettes, matches or other extremely hot items can cause permanent damage.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause discoloration.
Cleaning & Maintenance
• Sweep the oor regularly with a soft-bristle broom to remove loose dirt.
• Wash the oor with non-abrasive, neutral PH oor cleaner.
• For everyday maintenance, a mop moistened with warm water will sufce.
• Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
DO NOT use the following on your vinyl oor:
• Soap-based detergents
• Floor wax
• Abrasive or mop-
and-shine products
• Vacuum cleaners with a
rotating beater bar
• Ammonia
• Bleach solution
greater than 3%
NOTE: Always read the cautionary information on all cleaners prior to use.
NOTE: Never push, pull or drag furniture, appliances or other items across the oor. When moving furniture or heavy items, always lift and carry
the items. To minimize the risks of scratches and gouges when moving heavy objects, place plywood underlayment between the ooring and the
object to be moved.
