Installation Guide

Pre-Installation
INSTALLATION METHODS
□ Free-floating Installation: Roll it out and trim to fit.
□ Tape or Glue Optional Installation: Roll it out and trim to fit. Use an acrylic-based, double-sided tape, such
as Roberts® MaxGrip™, at the edges and along the seams or, for full glue down option, use an acrylic based
vinyl adhesive such as Roberts® MaxGrip™ 2310 or 2315 sheet vinyl adhesive.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
□ Sweep the floor clean of debris. Wipe up any oil and chemicals from the floor.
□ Roll out flooring and allow it to lay flat. The product will initially have curl marks—this is normal and may take
a few days to relax. The warmer the conditions, the quicker the curl marks will straighten out and lay flat.
Flooring should lay flat and acclimate to room temperature (65°F-85°F) for up to 24 hours prior to installation.
In cool to cold conditions, it may take 72+ hours before relaxed. If product is stored improperly (folded or not
stored on cores), product can become damaged and will void the warranty. There are two options for unrolling
this flooring:
– For faster lay flat results, unroll the flooring in the sunlight on a clean driveway. The warmer the
conditions, the quicker the curls will straighten out and lay flat. Use a wide push broom to push air out
from the center and work your way out (side to side and length to length). Repeat if necessary. Place on
garage floor when desired and repeat the broom out.
– If you wish to unroll the product directly on the garage floor, sweep the garage floor clean of debris and
unroll. For best results, start unrolling at the garage entrance; finishing at the back of the garage.
EXTERIOR USE
If product is used under extreme heat, such as direct sunlight, the product may expand or contract a small amount
after laying flat. For custom fit, allow product to relax in place before trimming around edges and corners.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
In commercial applications, secure the product to the floor using a pressure sensitive acrylic-based adhesive (PSA)
for vinyl. When installing a vinyl product with adhesive, it must be an acrylic-based product. SBR adhesives (rubber-
based) will cause the vinyl flooring to contract. Subfloors must be carefully checked for moisture problems. Any
moisture problems need to be immediately addressed prior to installation. New concrete floors need to cure for a
minimum of 60 days.
