5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Substrate Preparation
For best results, flooring material, room and adhesive should be kept at a
minimum of 70°F for 48 hours before and 24 hours after installation. Remove
all wax, grease, oil, paint, dust, curing compounds, adhesive residue and other
surface contaminants. Plywood should be installed according to American
Plywood Association guidelines. Plywood subfloor surfaces should be well
nailed at all edges and through center. Raised edges should be sanded smooth.
Fill cracks and depressions in floor with a surface preparation product. Sand
smooth and vacuum to remove dust. On hardwood and wood parquet floors, the
installation of plywood or fiber-cement underlayment is required.
All concrete substrates must be tested for moisture and pH prior to flooring
installation. The industry standard methods for testing moisture are ASTM
F2170 (RH) or ASTM F1869 (Calcium Chloride-MVER). Consult floor covering
manufacturer for acceptable RH or MVER. Test for pH in accordance with ASTM
F710. Range of 7-9 is required.
