Installation Guide

• In the event that the STAINMASTER
®
Peel-n-Stick flooring is not the last portion of the construction project, the floor must be
protected from construction traffic and damage. Utilize a reinforced fiber protective board or a heavy Kraft paper (min. 60#) and
cover the floor.
• Protect the flooring from constant exposure to direct sunlight. High temperatures directly on the floor may cause the adhesive to
reactivate and release from the subfloor.
• Immediately clean up spills or any excess liquid.
• Dust mop or sweep vinyl floor regularly.
• Only use “neutral pH” cleaners on vinyl flooring. Avoid multi-surface and chemical cleaners. Do not saturate the floor to clean it;
damp mopping is acceptable.
• If a finish coat is desired, use a matte finish designed for vinyl flooring only. Avoid use of waxes. Remember: if a finish is applied
this will become part of the regular maintenance and may require periodic stripping and reapplication of the finish.
• Use of nylon or felt-type furniture guides is required under all furniture. All types of furniture glides/protectors should be changed
regularly to prevent scratching from embedded debris in the glide.
• Grouted Installations: floor will be ready for light foot traffic 24 hours after installation and pets, heavy traffic and furniture/fixtures
are permitted 72 hours after installation. Allow 7 days for grout to achieve final cure which includes hardness and stain resistance.
ALLOW 7 DAYS BEFORE EXPOSURE TO WATER.
• Do not use solvents, haze removers, sealers or heavy cleaning chemicals on any Luxury Vinyl Tile Grout.
• When utilizing premixed Luxury Vinyl Tile Grout, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommended curing times for the adhesives
used to install the tile. Failure to do so could result in adhesive not fully curing and movement or lifting of tiles.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not clean with soap and water; soaps and detergents may leave a film on the surface of the vinyl.
• Do not slide furniture, chairs or objects across the vinyl flooring.
• Do not use any type of abrasive material or cleaners on the flooring.
• Do not walk on floor with cleats, spikes or similar type shoes.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE:
• Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a brushless vacuum will keep dirt and debris off the vinyl floor.
• Ensure all furniture and fixtures have the appropriate floor protectors installed and are changed regularly.
• Damp mop the floor weekly to remove dirt; a small amount of a neutral pH cleaner can be used to help remove dirt and buildups.
A white scrub pad can be used on heavy deposits. Do not use multi-surface or ammoniated cleaners.
• Use of a finish is not recommended by Novalis. Contact Novalis at 866-NOVALIS or [e-mail] for further instructions.
