INSTALLATION METHOD:

STEP 1: MEASUREMENT

▪ Check the room dimensions by getting it measured preferably by a professional installer. Use measuring tape to carefully determine the size of your space to be floored. It is important to get accurate measurement before placing the order for material.

STEP 2: SUBFLOOR PREPARATION

▪ The first and the foremost thing in the preparation of the sub floor is to clear the installation site with a stiff bristled broom to remove all the loose dirt, soil sand, grease, or any other residue from the floor.

▪ Inspect the floor. It needs to be hard flat, levelled and completely smooth. Fill all voids and crack with an appropriate patch levelling compound.

▪ The floor should be tested for any residue moisture. The surface of the floor must be completely dried if moisture content is traced.

STEP 3: ACCLIMATIZATION RELAX SHEET

▪ Sheets must be allowed to relax for 24 hrs in room temperature prior to installation. This will help the sheet to expand or contract and acclimatize to the normal humidity level and prevent vinyl from coming up during its installation process.

STEP 4: FIX COVINGS IN THE CORNER OF THE WALL

▪ Fix the coving strip on the corner of the wall. Coving provides proper shape and acts as a supporting base for sheet vinyl flooring.

STEP 5: PLACE THE SHEET ON THE FLOOR

▪ Place the sheet on the sub floor rolling it across the room as per the marking on the floor according to room dimensions

STEP 6: GLUING & FIXING THE FLOOR.

▪ Flip half of the product over and apply adhesives to the floor and expose some adhesives across the back of the sheet. The adhesives should be allowed to dry as per the manufacture guidelines before fixing the flooring sheet by applying pressure evenly on the flooring. Use the same process to the remaining pvc flooring sheet. If the flooring sheet is patterned then make sure the pattern of adjacent floor roll matches. Use the utility knife to cut the pieces on the edge of the floor length wise as needed.

▪ It is recommended to use a light weight steel roller across the floor to ensure good installation.

STEP 7: THERMAL WELDING FOR SEAMLESS FLOORING

▪ Heat welding is a process for all seams. It is provided for strong watertight and hygienic seams. Heat welding should be done after the flooring adhesive is set up.

STEP 8: CLEANING

▪ Clean the floor with any high-quality, p/h-neutral vinyl cleaner. Install transition pieces -i.e. – thresholds, t-moldings, base shoe. Always secure moldings to the wall, not the floor.
