1. SUBFLOOR CONTROL
2. BEFORE INSTALLATION
3. ROLL INSTALLATION
• T he subfloor must be clean, hard, flat and free from all types of marks, debris & residues, and not exposed to humidity. • D amp proofing to be carried out according to local building standards. • W hen installing this product on concrete subfloors that do not include damp- proofing, the moisture content measured in terms of relative humidity must not be higher than 85% (in UK and Ireland 75% according to BS 8203). Or less than 2% with CM (Carbide Method). • R efer to local standards for detailed rules and control methods. • S top underfloor heating for a minimum of 48hrs before installation and maintain the temperature in the room with an alternative heating source. Remain turned off for 6-7 days and then ramped up.
• S tore the rolls upright in a safe position with distance between the rolls. • P rior to laying, allow the material, adhesive and subfloor to reach room temperature, i.e. a temperature of at least 15°C. The relative air humidity should be 30-60%. Rolls must be stored indoors at least 24 hours before installation, preferable 48 hours. • Installation should be carried out at room temperature between 18°C to 26°C. Subfloor temperature must be at least
• C ut the sheets to length and lay them out to acclimatise and relax prior to installation. This is particularly important for longer lengths. • S heets must be installed so that colour differences are avoided. Reverse sheets whenever possible, overlap and cut edges. • T he sheets are fully adhered with an adhesive approved for Tarkett’s homogeneous vinyl sheet, spatula A1/A2. See the adhesive manufacturer´s instruction regarding coverage, open time etc. Example of suitable adhesives can be found at professionals.tarkett.com • R ub the face surface down thoroughly to ensure that the floor covering makes good contact with the adhesive and that all air is expelled. Make sure that the tool used for rubbing down the floor covering does not scratch the surface. A broom is not suitable for this purpose. Use a floor roller (approx. 65 kg) and roll crosswise over the floor.
15°C. The relative air humidity in the premises should be 35-65%. Maintain same temperature and humidity for at least 72 hours after installation.
• If material from several rolls is used, they should have the same manufacturing serial numbers and be used in consecutive order.
5. AFTER INSTALLATION
4. HOT WELDING
• A lways protect the floor with thick paper, hard board or similar during the construction period. If using tape, this must not be applied directly to the floor surface. IMPORTANT! Restrict foot traffic for 24 hours after installation. No heavy traffic, rolling loads or furniture placement for 72 hours after installation. Most suppliers of floor adhesives specify 72 hours before the final strength is achieved.
• T he sheets are hot welded. Do not weld until the adhesive has bonded completely, wait 24-48hrs. The joints are chamfered or grooved to about ¾ of the thickness using a hand grooving tool or machine prior to welding. • W eld with hot-air and Tarkett Speed Welding Nozzle. Welded seams must cool to room temperature before trimming in two steps, rough and fine trimming.
For more detailed explanations, or specific installation methods (tiles installation, wet room concept, cove forming), please refer to full installation notice. Please contact your local representative for any questions. Tarkett accepts no liability for adhesives and levelling compounds used, including those recommended.
