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. Use wood molding or vinyl cove base along all walls, cabinet toekicks, etc. Use
transition strips in doorways or where new flooring joins another floor covering. Caulk along tubs, toilet
bowls, etc.
Do not wash the floor for 48 hours after installation.
After 48 hours, damp mop to remove residual surface dirt.
Follow appropriate maintenance schedule for Bella Flooring Group LVT.
A. Furniture should be moved onto the newly installed floor using an appliance hand truck over
hardboard runways.
B. Do not place heavy items on newly installed floor covering for at least 24 hours after completion of
the installation.
Heavy furniture should be equipped with suitable non-staining, wide-bearing caster.
C. Floor covering subjected to excessive heat and light exposure is subject to thermal degradation. Use
appropriate precautions to minimize potential change on the floor covering.
D. Oil or petroleum-based products can result in surface staining. Do not track asphalt driveway sealer
or automobile oil drips onto the LVT.
