GLUE DOWN LVT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

These instructions cover all glue down installations of Ivy Hill Luxury Vinyl Plank and Tile (LVF). All recommendations are based

on the most recent available information. The information on these sheets provides general guidelines. These instructions and

recommendations must be followed for a satisfactory installation.

The installation of Ivy Hill LVF is straightforward and similar to the installation procedures that apply to all quality resilient

flooring. Proper preparation is essential for trouble-free installation. Do not install Ivy Hill LVF until job-site testing and subfloor

preparations are finished and the work of all other trades is completed. Site conditions must comply with the relevant building

codes and local, state and national regulations.

• Ivy Hill Luxury Vinyl Flooring is recommended for use over properly prepared concrete, suspended wood, metal and other suitable

substrates. Never install Ivy Hill LVT over residual asphalt type (Cutback) adhesive as “Bleed Through″ may occur.

• Ivy Hill LVF is not suitable for external installation or unheated locations.

• Ivy Hill LVT flooring, adhesive, job-site and subfloor must be acclimated to a stable condition before installation. (See Job-site

Testing).

• Following installation of Ivy Hill LVT, foot traffic should be minimized for 24 hours; point loads and rolling traffic should be minimized

for 48 hours, and wet cleaning should be minimized for 5 days

• Ivy Hill LVT flooring should remain at a temperature between 55°-85°F (13°-29.4°C) during its service life.

• Adhesive types can have a significantly different moisture tolerance which can influence required subfloor prep as well

as install time.

MATERIAL RECEIVING, HANDLING & STORAGE

1. All floor covering products require care during storage and handling. It is important to store flooring products in a dry, temperature-

controlled interior area.

2. The temperature range should be between 65°F (18.3°C) and 85°F (29.4°C) with a relative humidity between 40% and 60%

3. During the service life of the floor, the temperature should never rise above 85° F 29.4° C) nor fall below 55° F (13° C). The

performance of the flooring material and adhesives can be adversely affected outside this temperature range.

4. Material must be conditioned for at least 48 hours before beginning the installation.

5. For areas that are exposed to intense or direct sunlight, Ivy Hill LVT must be protected during the conditioning, installation, and

adhesive curing periods, by covering the light source.

6. Flooring materials that are shipped in cartons must also be stored properly. Cartons must be kept squarely positioned on the pallet

to prevent distortion of the contents and to be fully supported.

7. Do not store close to exterior walls, in direct sunlight or near HVAC vents.

8. Stored cartons are to be protected from forklift and other traffic that can damage carton corners.

9. Never double-stack pallets of flooring products.

10. Immediately remove all shrink wrapping before acclimation and verify materials delivered are correct style, color and quantity.

ASBESTOS WARNING! DO NOT MECHANICALLY CHIP OR PULVERIZE EXISTING RESILIENT FLOORING, BACKING, LINING FELT, ASPHALTIC “CUTBACK″ ADHESIVES OR OTHER ADHESIVES. Previously installed resilient floor covering products and the asphaltic or cutback adhesives used to install them may contain either asbestos fibers and/or crystalline silica. Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of asbestos or crystalline dust is a cancer and respiratory tract hazard.

WOOD SUBSTRATE Wood subfloors must have a minimum 18″ (47 cm) of cross-ventilated space between the bottom of the joist and ground. Exposed earth crawl spaces must be sealed with a polyethylene moisture barrier. Subfloors must meet local and national building codes. Trade associations, such as the APA -The Engineered Wood Association, offer structural guidelines for meeting various code requirements.

• Texture must be smooth. • Show no signs of moisture or alkalinity. TERRAZZO & CERAMIC FLOOR SUBSTRATE • Surface must be thoroughly sanded to remove all glaze and waxes. • Cuts, cracks, gouges, dents and other irregularities in the existing floor covering must be repaired or replaced. • Clean the grout lines. • Use a good quality Portland cement based leveling compound to fill all grout lines and other depressions.
PAGE 6
• Do not force planks or tiles together. Sliding tiles will result in forcing the adhesive out between the seams, creating a ledge condition at the seams and corners. • Check proper adhesive transfer by periodically lifting the corner of an installed tile or plank. • Immediately remove any adhesive from the surface of the flooring using a clean, white cloth dampened with a neutral detergent and water. Roll the tile in both directions after installation using a 100-lb. roller.
