Installation:

Location: All grade levels

Suitable Substrates:

All substrates listed below must be properly prepared and meet the

requirements discussed in Chapter III, Subﬂoors and Underlayments. There

may be certain exceptions and special conditions for these substrates to

be suitable for the BioBased Tile Installation System. Review substrate

recommendations for the adhesives.

• Concrete (on all grade levels) • Ceramic Tile, Terrazzo, Marble

• Approved Suspended Wood

Underlayments

(seamless) Floors

• Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum,

Lead, Copper, Brass, Bronze

Tile-On:

• Existing Resilient Sheet Floors

• Vinyl Composition, Vinyl Asbestos, Asphalt, Rubber and Vinyl Tile

(On Grade or Suspended Only)

Job Conditions/Preparation:

• 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.

• Substrates must be dry, clean, smooth, and free from paint, varnish, wax,

oils, solvents, and other foreign matter. In renovation or remodel work,

remove any existing adhesive residue* so that no ridges or puddles are

evident and a thin, smooth ﬁlm remains.

* Some previously manufactured asphaltic “cutback” adhesives contained asbestos (see warning

statement on page x). For removal instructions, refer to the Resilient Floor Covering Institute’s

publication Recommended Work Practices for Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings.
