HOW TO INSTALL AND CARE
CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
1. The minimum temperature of ground should be 10°C
2. The ground must be flat
3. The floor must be dry, The recommended relative humidity inside the room should be 50-60%. The ground surface moisture content must be less than 4.5%.
4. The ground must be free from marks (no felt pen, marker of any type, ballpoint pens, paint, etc., that could cause discoloration due to migration)
5. The temperature of the room should be maintained between 15°C and 28°C
throughout the installation
6. The hardness of ground should ≥C20
LAYING DIRECTION
Plan the sheet direction for the area to be installed to ensure whenever possible that joins do not coincide with doorways, main traffic lanes, sinks or urinals. If the room is reasonably square, the sheets should run parallel to the incoming light. In long, narrow rooms it is best to install the sheets along the length of the room.
GLUING
Glue with an acrylic emulsion, apply 250 to 300 g/m² using a finely serrated trowel. After allowing an appropriate tack time, press manually using a piece of board with a rounded edge.
WELDING
Hot welding with a welding rod is recommended for rolls and for tiles. Do not weld until the adhesive has bonded completely (wait 24 to 48 hours).
MAINTENANCE AFTER INSTALLATION
1. For the first 24 hours after your new floor is installed protect all the seamed areas and don't walk on the seam sealer.
2. Keep the room at 20°C or greater for at least a 2 days after installation to allow the adhesives to setup properly.
3. Do not roll heavy objects directly on to a newly installed vinyl floor for at least 5 days. This can cause the vinyl and adhesive to become compressed, once the adhesive sets up any compressed marks will become permanent. Always lay plywood or underlayment to disperse the weight of a heavy objects being moved across your vinyl floor.
4. Allow 5 days before thoroughly washing your floor. This will give time for the adhesive to cure. Before placing chairs or furniture on your new vinyl floor check the condition of all casters or rollers before setting them on your floor. Replace any worn casters or rollers.
