Precautions

• When installing over an existing resilient ﬂoor, lay out the installation so

the new seams are a minimum of 6˝ away from the original seams. When

installing over tile ﬂoors, seams should fall in the center of the tile.

• Shades of color may vary from dye lot to dye lot. Dye lot information is

located on each carton under the item number. Make sure the same lot

number appears on all cartons purchased for a single job.

• When using tile from two or more cartons, check to be sure all pattern

and lot numbers are the same for proper color match. On larger

installations, open several cartons and mix them as they are installed to

help blend any slight shade differences from one carton to the next. Tile

products with directional arrows on the back should be installed with all

the arrows pointing in the same direction.

• Do not wet wash tile for at least ﬁve 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.

• Do not use the Tile-On System over existing installations that have a

history of excessive moisture or alkaline salts.

• Do not use the Tile-On System over existing tile installations that are

below grade.

• Products installed using the Tile-On System may have less resistance

to indentation. We strongly recommend the use of Armstrong Floor

Protectors.
