Preparation
Ensure substrate, flooring material and adhesive are fully acclimated at the
same temperature and humidity level expected during normal use (between
65ºF and 95ºF with a relative humidity (RH) of no greater than 65%) 48 hours
prior to installation. Maintain the temperature and humidity level during and
after installation.
Subfloors must be structurally sound, dry, smooth, flat (≤ 3/16” within 10’),
level and free of excess moisture/alkali and all substances (oil, wax, grease,
paint, oil based sealers, adhesive residue, etc.) that may inhibit the bond of the
adhesive or the performance of the flooring or its installation.
All substrate cracks, chips, holes, joints, high spots and irregularities must
be adequately repaired. Expansion or other moving joints must not be filled
or covered with flooring. Patching compounds must be suitable for the use
application, cement based and polymer-modified and applied according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Wood – Subflooring, such as APA underlayment rated plywood, hardwood,
oriented strand board (lightly sanded), or other materials, must be flooring
grade and installed to the manufacturer’s specifications with adequate
ventilation and moisture protection. Ensure wood substrates have a minimum
18” crawl space with adequate ventilation
and moisture barrier protection.
Existing vinyl composition tile must be
limited to one layer, well bonded and on
or above grade. Remove all wax, floor
finishes, dirt and contaminants that may
interfere with the bond.
