FLOOR INSTRUCTIONS – GENERAL INFORMATION

DuraDecor is intended for indoor, do-it-yourself application and installations for residential use only, on properly prepared vertical walls

and subﬂoors. DuraDecor is not suitable for commercial applications. Do not install DuraDecor until this document is read, understood, and

followed. Non-rubber or latex-backed entrance matting should be used at all outdoor entrances; this will improve air quality and reduce

maintenance. The optimal operating temperature is between 65°F - 85°F (18°C - 29°C). Protect from constant exposure to direct sunlight (heat)

using blinds or curtains as high temperature may cause the adhesive to reactivate and release.

Do not use any acoustic underlayment. Felt glides ≥ 1-inch

(645-mm

) must be used on all furniture that may slide on the ﬂoor. Do not move

heavy or sharp objects across the ﬂoor; use protective boards. Check and make sure all the lot numbers on the packaging match, if they do

not, replace the boxes with ones that do.
