10. Continue Steps 4 through 9 until entire area is completed.
11. Do not allow traffic on tile for 24 hours after installation.
12. Flooring should not be exposed to rolling load traffic for at least 72 hours
after installation to allow setting and drying of the adhesive.
Precautions:
■ S-230 Adhesive is recommended for SAFETY ZONE in areas that may
be exposed to frequent surface moisture and/or cooler temperatures.
■ S-230 Adhesive may also be used to install the first 3 to 5 rows of
SAFETY ZONE when used in areas that will be affected by surface
moisture and/or cooler temperatures.
■ Tiles are to be heated from the back only, never the face.
■ Do not wash tile for at least four days after installation. This will allow the
tile to become well seated in the adhesive and prevent excess moisture
and cleaning agents from interfering with the adhesive bond.
■ Products installed using the Tile-On System may have less resistance to
indentation. We strongly recommend the use of Armstrong Floor Protectors.
■ S-89 is not recommended over wood substrates.
