OTHER ACCESSORIES
Accessories
When installing accessory alone, cut
accessory to desired length, when
necessary and apply adhesive directly to
the back of the accessory per adhesive
instructions. Install accessory to substrate,
ensuring that accessory material is not
stretched or over-compressed during
installation. Stretching material or over-
compressing seams and corners may
cause accessory to shrink and/or curl/
delaminate, respectively.
When installing accessory in conjunction
with flooring material, cut material to
desired length. Ensure that adhesive
for the floor covering is compatible with
the adhesive for the accessory material.
Ensure adhesive open times are met and
that foot traffic limits are observed.
Periodically lift material to ensure proper
adhesive transfer - adhesive should cover
90% of accessory. Using a suitable hand
roller, carefully roll material in the direction
of the last piece installed with a hand
roller within 30 minutes of installation.
7. INITIAL MAINTENANCE
Ensure that adhesive has cured for
recommended period of time prior to
conducting initial maintenance. Remove
any protective coverings prior to cleaning.
Sweep, dust or wipe material to remove
any dirt, dust or debris. DO NOT use
vacuums or electric brooms which
have beater bars, hard plastic bottoms,
a rubber bumper or are lacking proper
padding or protection, as this may cause
marking, discoloration, scratching and
loss of sheen. Do not use detergents,
abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine”
type products, as they will dull the finish
and sheen of the material.
Mix 2-4 ounces of Excelsior NC-900
Neutral Cleaner per gallon of clean, potable
water. Use a clean towel or cloth to apply
cleaner to material. If heavily soiled, an
additional cleaning may be required. Use
clean towel or cloth to remove any and all
excess cleaning solution. Rinse area with
clean, cool water and allow material to dry
entirely. Ensure material is clean and that
all all cleaning residue has been removed
(this may require additional rinsing).
For further information regarding daily
or routine maintenance, please consult
the product care & maintenance
document or the associated product
technical data sheet.
8. FLOORING & MATERIAL
PROTECTION
Protect newly installed flooring and
accessories with construction grade
paper or protective boards, such as
Masonite or Ram Board, to prevent
damage by other trades. Do not slide or
drag pallets or heavy equipment across
the new accessories. Limit usage and
foot traffic according to the adhesive's
requirements. When moving appliances
or heavy furniture, protect flooring and
accessories from scuffing and tearing
using temporary floor protection.
All furniture casters must be made of a
soft material and must have a contact
point of at least 1” in width to limit
indentation and flooring or accessory
damage. All rolling chairs or seating must
have a resilient flooring chair pad installed
over the finished floor to protect floor
covering. All fixed furniture legs must
have permanent felt or soft rubber floor
protectors installed on all contact points
to reduce indentation. Floor protectors
must have a flat contact point of at least 1"
in width and must cover the entire bottom
surface of the furniture leg.
Ensure all furniture castors and chair
legs and are clean and free of any and
all dirt and debris. Routinely clean chair
castors and furniture legs to ensure that
dirt or debris has not built up or become
embedded in castors or floor protectors.
Replace chair castors and floor protectors
at regular intervals, especially if they
become damaged or heavily soiled.
Place walk-off mats at outside entrances.
Ensure mats are manufactured with non-
staining backs to prevent discoloration.

Flexco provides a 1 year limited warranty
for all Accessories wall base. For additional

respectively.
Periodically lift material to ensure proper
adhesive transfer - adhesive should cover
90% of accessory. Using a suitable hand
roller, carefully roll material in the direction
of the last piece installed with a hand
roller within 30 minutes of installation.
Vinyl accessory installations can be
enhanced by using Flexco’s matching
Colored Caulk to fill any voids or
imperfections. Allow accessory to cure
for the required period of time and do not
disturb until curing time is complete.
6. HORIZONTAL ACCESSORY
INSTALLATION
Ensure substrate is suitably prepared
prior to installation, as manufacturer is
not responsible for substrates that have
not been properly prepared and tested for
moisture. When using the C-630 Contact
Adhesive, be sure to a clean dusty and/
or cementitious substrates with a damp
mop or sponge prior to installation to
remove dust, dirt and debris.
Ensure adhesive is approved for use with
accessory material and that proper trowel
type and size is used, as manufacturer is
not responsible for any and all adhesion
issues related to improper adhesive
selection or usage. When installing
in conjunction with adjacent flooring
materials and adhesive, be sure adhesive
is a hard-setting adhesive (not a pressure
sensitive) and observe adhesive open
times to avoid adhesion issues.
Accessories which have an undercut,
underlap or flange must be installed
prior to the installation of any adjoining
flooring material. When necessary,
carefully trim material using a razor utility
knife or a miter saw with a 60 tooth or
greater carbide tip blade. When installing
with a radius, ensure material can be
formed to accommodate radius prior to
installation and use the C-630 Contact
Adhesive to ensure that accessory will
stay in place. Some accessories may be
heated to achieve some radius'. If heating
an accessory to form a radius, confirm
material can accommodate radius prior to
permanently installing.
