Installation Guide

Additional Instructions/Notes:

• Always inspect the ooring thoroughly before installation.

• DO NOT slide heavy appliances or furniture over or across the ooring. Always lift objects and place them on

a hard board between the ooring and object and gently reposition them.

• In-oor heat/AC registers may rest on the vinyl oor, but leave space under registers that are attached to

the oor or wall. They should not pinch the ooring material. Be sure to allow a larger opening around the

screw to enable movement.

• Apply caulk next to bathtubs, showers, sliding doors, patio doors, around metal door jambs or similar areas.

• For bathroom installations, it is not necessary to remove the toilet. Make relief cuts around the perimeter

of the toilet and make sure the vinyl ooring is laying at before trimming o󰮏 the excess material. Apply

caulk around the toilet, next to the bathtubs and showers to prevent moisture from getting under the vinyl.

NOTE: if there is a ceramic sanitary cove and no place to install trim mold, you can apply caulk around the

walls.

• Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining plastic oor protectors or non-staining felt pads.

The protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest at on the oor. The heavier the item, the

wider the oor protector should be. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with smooth, at

glides that are in at contact with the oor.

• Never tape around the perimeter of the room.

• Never apply Tra󰮐cMaster ooring to a wet adhesive (if adhesive is needed for certain areas of the Loose-

Lay). This could cause permanent bond or wrinkling and possibly void the warranty.

Permanent Full Spread Installation Method (for “special needs” residential/

property management installations)

The Permanent Full Installation Method can be used for special needs areas, such as those with rolling

tra󰮐c, extremely high tra󰮐c or in areas where cabinets will be installed on ooring or areas with accelerated

concrete moisture up to 8 lbs. However, PLEASE NOTE that if you elect to permanently install your

Tra󰮐cMaster ooring using this method as opposed to the recommended Releasable Installation Method that

labor rates exceeding residential releasable removal and underlayment will not be covered.
