Quick•Step Studio Laminate Flooring on Wall Install Instructions
Care and Cleaning
Dry wipe as primary cleaning method. Occasionally damp wipe with water only. NO wet washing. If
needed, use 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water OR 1/3 cup non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of water.
DO NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, soaps, waxes or polishes. Wipe off spills immediately. DO
NOT allow moisture to remain on the product surface for longer than 30 minutes.
DO NOT attach objects such as pictures, shelves or television mounts directly to the laminate wall. DO
NOT apply adhesive backed hooks or install screws on or into the laminate wall for hanging objects.
Instead drill clearance holes through the laminate and mount these objects directly to wall studs with
screws or nails. Drill the clearance holes through the laminate at least 1/2" larger than the diameter of the
fastener that will be used.
Precautionary Measures
Power tools should be equipped with a dust collector. If high dust levels are encountered use an
appropriate NIOSH designated dust mask. Avoid dust contact with skin and eyes. First Aid Measures in
case of irritations: In case of irritation flush eyes and skin with water for at least 15 minutes.
ATTN: INSTALLERS Caution: Wood Dust
Sawing, sanding and machining wood products can produce wood dust. Airborne wood dust causes
respiratory, skin and eye irritation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified wood dust as a nasal carcinogen in humans.
IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE FOR MINNESOTA RESIDENTS ONLY:
THESE BUILDING MATERIALS EMIT FORMALDEHYDE. EYE, NOSE, AND THROAT IRRITATION,
HEADACHE NAUSEA AND A VARIETY OF ASTHMA-LIKE SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING SHORTNESS OF
BREATH, HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF FORMALDEHYDE EXPOSURE. ELDERLY
PERSONS AND YOUNG CHILDREN, AS WELL AS ANYONE WITH A HISTORY OF ASTHMA,
ALLERGIES, OR LUNG PROBLEMS, MAY BE AT GREATER RISK. RESEARCH IS CONTINUING ON
THE POSSIBLE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO FORMALDEHYDE. REDUCED
VENTILATION MAY ALLOW FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO ACCUMULATE IN
THE INDOOR AIR. HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY RAISE FORMALDEHYDE
LEVELS. WHEN A HOME IS TO BE LOCATED IN AREAS SUBJECT TO EXTREME SUMMER
TEMPERATURES, AN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO CONTROL INDOOR
TEMPERATURE LEVELS. OTHER MEANS OF CONTROLLED MECHANICAL VENTICLATION CAN BE
USED TO REDUCE LEVELS OF FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER INDOOR AIR CONTAMINANTS. IF
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF FORMALDEHYDE, CONSULT
YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS.
