Precautions

Proper conditioning of jobsite and product is extremely important for the appearance and

performance of LVT planks

Do not wash or scrub the new flooring for at least 5 days after the installation. This will allow the

tile to become “seated” in the adhesive and prevent excess moisture and cleaning agents from

interfering with the adhesive bond.
