Clic ERT | UNICLIC® INSTALLATION

• Un-opened cartons of ooring should be stored at and neatly stacked in the climate controlled installation area for a

minimum of 48 hours prior to installation to allow product to acclimate. Open cartons just prior to installation.

• When installing ooring from two or more cartons, check the pattern, color and run (lot) numbers on the carton label to

ensure they are all the same.

Tools & Materials

• Carpenter square

• Cutting board

• Tape measure

• Utility knife

• Scrap piece of ERT ooring material for tapping to tighten joints

• In Situ RH Moisture Meter

• pH testing kit

• Small Hand Roller (Seam Roller)

Optional:

• Mohawk ActiveSound™ Underlayment for sound transmission reduction

Suboor Preparation

• Proper preparation of the suboor is a major part of a successful installation. Roughness or unevenness of the suboor

may telegraph through the new oor. All suboors should be smooth, at and dust free with the tolerance not exceeding

more than 3/16” in a 10’ span. All suboor and underlayment patching must be done with a non-shrinking, water-resistant

Portland-based patching compound.

• Concrete suboors must be dry, smooth and free from dust, solvent, paint, wax, grease, oil, asphalt sealing compounds and

other extraneous materials. The surface must be hard and dense and free from powder or aking. The oor should have a

reading of 95% RH or less (ASTM F2170) with a pH range between 8 and 9.

• Holes, grooves, expansion joints and other depressions must be lled with a Portland-based underlayment and troweled

smooth and feathered even with the surrounding surface.

• Concrete underlayments with a radiant heating system are acceptable, provided the temperature of the suboor does not

exceed 85ºF at any point.

• When installing over existing ceramic tile, substrate surface should be made smooth by applying a Portland-based patching

or leveling compound to smooth.
