5 Instructions
General Surface Prep
USE CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES, such as nitrile,
when handling product.
Surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free from grease,
oil, dirt, curing compounds, sealers, adhesives or any other
contaminant that would prevent a good bond. Glossy or painted
surfaces must be sanded, stripped and cleaned of waxes, dirt or any
contaminants. Concrete must be cured 28 days and accept water
penetration. Concrete must be free of efflorescence and not subject to
hydrostatic pressure. Concrete slabs should have a broomed or
brushed finish to enhance the bond. Plywood flooring including those
under resilient flooring must be structurally sound and meet all ANSI
and deflection requirements. For questions about proper subfloor
installation, call Technical Services. Smooth concrete surfaces, existing
glazed tile, terrazzo, or polished stone should be roughened or
scarified. Sheet vinyl must be well-bonded and stripped of old finish.
Roughen the surface by sanding or scarifying, rinse and allow to dry.
Expansion joints should never be bridged with setting material. Do not
sand flooring materials containing asbestos. Ambient temperature,
surfaces and materials should be maintained at a temperature above
50°F(10°C)orbelow100°F(38°C)for72hours.
Bonding to Concrete Surfaces
Concrete or plaster must be fully cured and accept water penetration.
Test by sprinkling water on various areas of the substrate. If water
penetrates, then a good bond can be achieved; if water beads, surface
contaminants are present, and loss of adhesion may occur.
Contaminants should be mechanically removed before installation.
Concrete must be free of efflorescence and not subject to hydrostatic
pressure. Concrete slabs should have a broomed or brushed finish to
enhance the bond. Smooth concrete slabs must be mechanically
abraded to ensure a good bond.
For residential service rating, see TCNA F1160.
Bonding to Plywood Surfaces
Plywood floors must be structurally sound and must meet all ANSI
A108.01 Part 3.4 requirements. See TCNA F142. For questions about
proper subfloor installation, call Custom technical services.
Bonding to Backerboards
Asanalternativetoanadditionallayerofplywood,WonderBoard®
Backerboard may be installed over non-deflecting plywood subfloors.
Refer to TCNA F144 and W244.
Bonding to Existing Surfacing Material
Resilient flooring or plastic laminates must be well-bonded, as well as
clean and free of all contaminates. Roughen the surface by sanding or
scarifying; rinse and allow to dry. Do not sand flooring that contains
asbestos. For existing well-bonded ceramic tile, mechanically abrade
the surface. Rinse and allow to dry. When sanding, an approved
respirator should be used.
