Installing Resilient Tile & Plank

General Instructions

• M700 Adhesive - Ensure that moisture tests have been conducted and that the results do not exceed 85% RH.

• M95.0 Adhesive - Ensure that moisture tests have been conducted and that the results do not exceed 95% RH.

• MS160 Spray Adhesive - Ensure that moisture tests have been conducted and that results do not exceed 95% RH.

• pH of concrete sub-oor should not be greater than 10 for M700 or M95.0. MS160 requires pH not greater than 11.

• The permanent HVAC system is operational and set to a minimum of 68° F for a minimum of 72 hours prior to, during

and after installation. After the installation, the maximum temperature should not exceed 85° F.

• Flooring material and adhesive must be acclimated to the installation area for a minimum of 48 hours prior

to installation.

• Material should always be visually inspected prior to installation. Any material with visible defects should not be

installed. Flooring installed with visible defects will not be considered a legitimate claim.

• Make sure all material is from the same run/lot number. Install tiles running in same direction when arrows are on back

of tile. Ensure that all recommendations for sub-oor and jobsite conditions are met prior to beginning the installation.

• Directional designs are optional. Once the installation is started, site conditions are accepted.

Installation

When planning the layout, make sure tile and plank joints are not directly over joints in the underlayment and/or seams in

existing ooring. Do not install over isolation joints.

Clean Up

Immediately clean any adhesive smears on the face of the ooring while they are still wet, with a clean cloth and water.

Mineral spirits is the recommended cleaner to remove tacky or dried adhesive.

Immediately After Installation

Restrict to light trafc for the rst 24 hours. Install the base moldings. Seal all areas that may be exposed to surface spills (i.e.

tubs, toilets, and showers) with silicone caulking.

Trafc

• Restrict foot trafc for 24 hours after installation, unless using MS160 Adhesive, which can be walked on within one

hour after installation.
