General Suboor Preparation

• Correctly preparing your suboors plays a large part of a satisfactory installation. The NewAge

Stone Composite Flooring uses a “oating oor” installation method which can handle minor

oor imperfections. If you have large gaps or protrusions in your suboors, NewAge Stone

Composite Flooring will not be able to cover them.

• It is not suitable to install NewAge ooring on carpet. All carpet and carpet track’s should be

removed before installation.

• Prior to installing your oors, use a vacuum to remove all dust and debris.

• Ensure the surface is structurally sound, at, clean and dry before installing NewAge Flooring.

If your oors are wet, make sure you wait until they are fully dry before proceeding with the

install.

• Leave at least a 0.5” gap between the surface of the oor and the bottom of an electric

baseboard heater to allow heat to circulate.

• Suboor atness should not exceed 3/16” per 10ft (4.7mm per 3m radius). Suboors must be

leveled before starting the installation of the NewAge Stone Composite Tiles and Planks.

• Chisel any uneven surfaces on the oor before starting the ooring install.

Preparing your space - General

• Make sure all surfaces are dry, clean and free of dust, wax, solvents, paint, grease, oils and old

glue residue.

• Sand or grind any raised areas.

• Gaps and holes should be lled with concrete and nished with a straight edge to even the

oor out.

• It is important to test the moisture level before starting the install. Using a concrete moisture

meter, the moisture vapor emission rate should not exceed 5lbs per 1000sqft in 24hr. If in Situ

probe testing is to be carried out, according to ASTM F2170, it should not exceed 85%. These

tests would not predict the condition of your oors for long-term and would only indicate the

condition of your oors at the time of the test being conducted.

Note: If you have done concrete work in the desired space, sub-oors must properly cure and be

left to dry for at least 60 days before installing NewAge Stone Composite Flooring.
