Indoor Artificial Turf Installation Guide
Non-Infilled Turf
Floor Surface Preparation
1. The sub-flooring surface must be fully cured and washed with successive rain or wash
waters to remove all excessive chemical materials used to form or cure the surface
(alkali, soaps, emulsifiers, oil substances). Proper curing time will range from 45 - 60
days after sub-flooring installation.
2. The sub-flooring surface must be thoroughly cleaned which should include sweeping,
vacuuming and mopping to insure that all dirt, paint, grease, oils or any contaminants
which will prevent good adhesion are removed.
Turf Preparation and Installation
3. The carpet should be allowed to lay out unrolled and allowed to relax at least one hour
before installation. Ideal temperature for the installation to take place is 55 degrees
Fahrenheit to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, and the relative humidity should fall between 10%
and 65%.
4. The carpet should be pre-cut for each area allowing some excess for proper seaming
and edging or any trimming necessary. Cut off salvage materials on both sides of the turf.
Securing Your Turf with Adhesive
5. The adhesives should be stored in an area that maintains a temperature between 65
degrees Fahrenheit and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The adhesive should be spread on the sub-
flooring surface that covers an area approximately one-half the actual size of the carpet
strip being glued.
6. The adhesive should be applied using 1/8 x 1/8 x 1/8 V-notched trowel for smooth
backed or action-backed carpets and a 1/8 x 1/8 x 1/8 U- or Square-notched trowel for
rough backed unitary carpets. The 1/8 V-notched should apply approximately 10 - 12
yards per gallon, whereas the 1/8 U- or Square-notch will apply 7 - 9 yards per gallon. Of
course, the variations in the sub-floor surface will effect the final coverage rate.
7. The adhesive should be applied and allowed to air dry for 15 - 30 minutes before
laying the carpet. The opening air dry time will vary with temperature, barometric
pressure and air flow (wind) around the installation area. "DO NOT COVER MORE
SURFACE AREA THAN CAN BE EFFECTIVELY WORKED." Per adhesive
instructions.
