Permanent Full Spread Installation Steps:
Step 1
Align the pattern with the most dominant wall, and using a sharp utility knife trim away excess material along
the walls, cabinet and other permanent objects, leaving approximately 2” of material to be trimmed o󰮏 later.
Step 2
Make relief cuts at corners to allow the material to lay at before the nal cuts are made. Final trimming does
not require a 1/8” to 1/4” expansion gap when using Roberts 2310 Adhesive as this is a permanent installation.
Step 3
Fold back half of the material and apply Roberts 2310 Adhesive to the substrate using the appropriate trowel.
If a seam is required, leave an 18” dry zone at the edge of the seam. Then follow the Seaming Instructions in a
Permanent Full Spread Installation found below.
Step 4
Do not immediately place the material into wet adhesive. To avoid bubbling, allow time for the adhesive to
ash before positioning the material. There will be a slight transfer of adhesive to the skin when it’s ready for
installation. Do not allow the adhesive to dry completely.
Step 5
Slide the material in place and remove air and vapors under the material using a 100 lb. roller over the entire
adhered vinyl.
Step 6
Repeat steps 3-5 for the remaining half of the ooring material.
Seaming Instructions in a Full Spread Permanent Residential Installation:
1. After positioning the ooring, over-lap the seam edges. (Make sure to match patterns)
2. Place a 4”-5” wide scrap of the vinyl between the two layers of vinyl, under the seam area.
3. Double cut through the all layers of vinyl, creating a compression t when the seam edges are joined.
4. Fold back both sides of the seam area and apply the Roberts 2310 Adhesive to the dry zone. Allow the
adhesive to ash before placing the material into the adhesive.
5. Place one side of vinyl into the adhesive and roll the seam using a 100 lb. roller.
6. Apply small bead of Seam Sealer along the edge of the installed vinyl.
7. Place the edge of the uninstalled vinyl against the edge of the installed vinyl and press into place.
8. Remove excess bond/sealer using a plastic putty knife followed by wiping the seam area using a clean dry
cloth followed immediately with a clean cloth dampened with appropriate cleaner.
9. Using a clean cloth, repeat until all residue is removed from the surface of the vinyl and protect the seam
for six hours minimum.
