These instructions cover all fully adhered installations of Bella Flooring Group LVT

The information on this sheet provides general guidelines.

1. The floor covering, adhesive, and room temperature must be kept at a minimum temperature of

65°F or warmer for at least 72 hours before, during, after installation. Maximum temperature

must not exceed 95°F.

2. Install Bella Flooring Group LVT only after the jobsite has been cleaned and cleared of other

trade apparatus that may damage a finished tile installation.

3. Always check the cartons to assure the pattern number is correct. To minimize shade variation,

mix and install tiles / planks from several different cartons.

4. All subfloor / underlayment patching must be done with a non-shrinking water-resistant

portland cement patching compound.

5. Never install Bella Flooring Group LVT over residual asphalt-type (cut back) adhesive. It can

bleed through to the new floor covering.

Careful and correct preparation of the subfloor is an important part of resilient floor covering installation. Roughness or unevenness of the subfloor will telegraph through the new floor covering, resulting in an unsightly surface and excessive uneven wear on high spots. All surfaces should be flat within ¼” in 10 feet using appropriate materials to level the substrate. A. Wood Subfloors 1. GENERAL All wood floors must be suspended at least 18" above the ground.

B. Concrete Subfloors 1. Concrete subfloors must be dry, smooth, and free from dust, solvent, paint, wax, grease, oil, asphalt sealing compounds and other extraneous materials. The surface must be hard and dense, and free from powder or flaking. 2. New concrete slabs must be thoroughly dry and completely cured (at least six weeks). Curing agents, surface hardeners and other additives may cause adhesive bonding failure. These should be removed by sanding or grinding. 3.

Do not sand, dry scrape, bead blast or mechanically pulverize existing resilient flooring, backing or lining felt. These products may contain asbestos fibers that are not readily identifiable. Using the above nonrecommended procedures on asbestos-containing material can create asbestos dust. The inhalation of asbestos dust may cause serious bodily harm. Ceramic tile should be made smooth by applying a cementious overlay such as patching or leveling compound.

D. Completing the Job Drying time is approximately 2 hours and will vary due to installation site temperature, humidity, and air flow. Installation over areas of incomplete drying can result in job failure over non-porous surfaces. After installation is complete, roll and cross roll with a 100lb sectional roller. Use hand roller in areas which cannot be reached with large roller. Check 1-2 hours after installing LVT and roll again if necessary. Cover all exposed edges.
