• Particleboard, waferboard, OSB or single-layer Sturd-I-Floor panels

• Existing cushion-backed vinyl flooring

• Carpet

• Hardwood flooring that has been installed directly over concrete

Job Conditions/Preparation (for all installation options):

• Resilient flooring should only be installed in temperature-controlled environments. It is necessary to maintain

a constant temperature before, during and after the installation. Therefore, the permanent or temporary

HVAC system must be in operation before the installation of resilient flooring. Portable heaters are not

recommended as they may not heat the room and subfloor sufficiently. Kerosene heaters should never be

used.

• • • • • All substrates must be sound, dry, clean, smooth, and free from excessive moisture or alkali. Remove dirt, paint, varnish, wax, oils, solvents, other foreign matter and contaminates that could cause staining or interfere with a good bond. Do not use products containing petroleum solvents or citrus oils to prepare substrates as they can cause staining and expansion of the new flooring.

• Cut seams net. Pieces that are cut and fit in the morning should be adhered that morning. Pieces that are cut and fit in the afternoon should be adhered that afternoon. When installing over an existing resilient floor, lay out the installation so the new seams are a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) away from the original seams. When going over tile floors, seams should fall in the center of the tile. Recommended fitting procedures include straight scribing, pattern scribing and freehand knifing.

6. Finish the Job • Replace or install baseboard moldings or coved wall base to cover expansion zone (gap) around perimeter of room. Fasten molding to vertical surface; do not nail through new floor or into expansion zone. • Leave a slight clearance between molding and flooring so any effects of seasonal movements in your home due to temperature or humidity changes will be minimized.
