Warranty Guide

Installation defects and installations not using the recommended Armstrong
adhesives.
Damage caused by abuse such as moving appliances across the floor without
adequate protection. When moving appliances or heavy furniture, lay a plywood
panel on your floor and “walk” the item across it. This protects your floor from
scuffing and tears.

Installation requirements
Proper installation plays a key role in the performance of Armstrong floors. For
installation of vinyl tile, these basic guidelines should be followed:
Store tiles for 48 hours in room where they will be installed. Keep room at a
minimum of 65°F during that time and during installation. After installation,
temperature should not fall below 65°F for the first 48 hours, and not below 55°F
after that.
If room is heated by radiant coils in the subfloor, the TEMPERATURE OF THE
FLOOR should not exceed 85°F.
The subfloor must be level, clean, and free of wax, grease, oil or dust.
If necessary, patch or fill any cracks in the subfloor with Armstrong Patch, or
Armstrong Latex Underlayment.
Use Armstrong Embossing Leveler to smooth any texture or embossing on the old
floor. Install over smooth, well-bonded resilient floors or over dry concrete and wood
floors with a plywood overlay.
