General Information
• Always ensure QuikStik Underor is tightly rolled around a tube
with the release liner out for storing and transporting. Any unused
portion of the roll must be tightly secured around the tube.
• Do not distort QuikStik Underor.
• Condition the room and all ooring materials at a constant tem-
perature between 65°F (18°C) and 85°F (29°C) for 48 hours prior
to, during and 48 hours after installation.
• All QuikStik Underor and nished ooring must be installed with
a 1/8" to 1/4" space around the perimeter of the room to allow for
expansion and contraction of the ooring system and suboor.
QuikStik Underflor Installation
• Thoroughly sweep the oor.
• Determine the appropriate seam location and direction of the
underlayment (based on the ooring selection).
For DuraCeramic Dimensions always install UnderFlor with seams
running perpendicular to the long dimension of the tile ooring
(Fig. 5). Install tiles with staggered end joints positioned at least
4" away from the seams in the Congoleum UnderFlor.
Unroll the rst sheet and trim it to t allowing a 1/4" space between
the edge of the sheet and the wall.
Unroll the second sheet and position it with the seam edge butted
lightly up to the rst sheet. If necessary, to adjust the seam location
to ensure proper placement, overlap the sheets and double-cut a
new seam in the desired location. Use a straightedge and utility knife
to cut the seam.
Tape the sheets together with 2" wide clear packaging tape or other
thin single face plastic tape available through ofce supply stores
and most home centers. Apply the tape, centered directly over the
top of the seam edges. Roll the tape with a steel seam roller.
Suitable Packaging Tapes Include:
• Scotch
®
3850 Packing Tape
• Duck
™
Tape Standard Packaging Tape
• Shurtape
®
HP Series
Do not use masking tape, ber reinforced tape, duct tape or other
thick tapes that might telegraph through the nished ooring.
Install nished ooring immediately after installing Congoleum
UnderFlor.
Installing DuraCeramic Origins, DuraCeramic Dimensions
and Ovations over Congoleum UnderFlor
Follow installation instructions for the nished ooring being installed.
Install nished ooring with Congoleum DS100 DuraSet Adhesive
using the recommended trowel notch size. Do not apply excess
adhesive. Allow adhesive to dry completely to a tack prior to ooring
installation. Slight growth (buckles) in the UnderFlor may occur
immediately after adhesive application. This is normal and will not
affect the nished ooring installation. Install nished ooring allow-
ing a 1/8" to 1/4" space around the entire perimeter. If necessary
to adjust or remove a tile, use a heat gun to warm it up rst. Roll
nished ooring on completion of the installation.
All nish trim and transition moldings must be installed so they do
not bind or restrict the nished ooring from moving when expansion
and contraction occurs during seasonal changes. Fasten the trim to
the wall not to the suboor.
Do not drive fasteners into the oor or underlayment.
Seal all areas that may be exposed to surface spills, i.e. tubs, toilet
and showers with a silicone caulking.
