General Information: Fiberglass flooring in residential applications, can be installed by three installation methods. The flooring can be installed by the modified loose lay installation method using acrylic double-faced tape under seams, or it can be installed by two full spread options using either S-288 Flooring Adhesive or S-289 Releasable Adhesive.

• • 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.

IF INSTALLING OVER … PREPARE VINYL FLOORING Must be noncushioned-backed and firmly bonded. • Utility knife to remove loose vinyl Check for loose vinyl, gapped seams, cuts, tears, rips, or other damage.

• • • • Precut the pieces accurately. It is much easier to cut pieces close to size in an area where you can lay them out flat. Generally, allow 1-1/2” (31.8 mm) for each end wall. (With two or more pieces, make sure you have cut them long enough for pattern matching purposes.) 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.

Precautions for All Installation Options: • Do not wash or scrub the new flooring for at least 5 days after the installation. This will help prevent excess moisture and cleaning agents from interfering with the bond of the fresh adhesive or vinyl flooring tape. • When moving appliances or heavy furniture, lay a plywood panel on the floor and “walk” the item across it. This protects the floor from scuffing and tears.
