Installation Guide

REV 11.14.2019

• Adhesive use for residential and low traffic installations:

• Glue the entire perimeter using pressure sensitive adhesive. We

recommend R88 Spray adhesive. Please follow the instructions

printed on the can or call RI office at 855-372-7546 for

additional installation instructions. R88 Spray Adhesive and

G100 Adhesive should be purchased from RI at time of order to

maintain all warranties. Create at least a 14” perimeter for tiles,

using a full spread spray in all walkway entrances and under

heavy tile and furniture. For detailed instructions see

“Adhesives” (p. 15) and “Adhesive Application” (p. 16).

The following conditions must be given consideration when

determining how the LVT will be installed.

LAYOUT: Layout shall be specified by end user, architect or designer.

1. Establish center marks and determine the starting point to

balance installation in room and have equal tile widths on

opposite sides of the room. This can be facilitated by dry laying

tiles and marking base lines.

2. The room layout must be set-up so that all flooring can be

installed while staying off freshly installed tiles.

3. This will minimize tile shifting, adhesive displacement and wet

adhesive from oozing up and getting onto the face of the tiles.

This can be accomplished by creating work zones outlined with

chalk lines to spread adhesive aligned with established base

lines. Create work zones that are no wider than the installers

comfortable arm reach and in multiples of the tile width.

4. All Installations: Spread only the amount of adhesive that can be

covered within the working time specific to the adhesive being

used.

When all preparatory work is satisfactorily completed, including dry fitting

cut tiles (if applicable), proceed with installation. Inspect each tile for visual

defects before installing. Installation of the flooring implies acceptance of

materials.
