EXECUTION

PREPARATION

Examine and verify substrate suitability for product installation.

Protect existing construction and completed work from damage.

Remove existing base to permit new installation.

Dispose of removed materials.

Correct substrate deficiencies.

Fill cracks, pits, and depressions with leveling compound.

Remove protrusions; grind high spots.

Apply leveling compound to achieve 3 mm (1/8 inch) in 3 m (10 feet) maximum surface variation.

Clean substrates. Remove contaminants capable of affecting subsequently installed product's performance.

Allow substrate to dry and cure.

INSTALLATION GENERAL

Install products according to manufacturer's instructions.

When instructions deviate from specifications, submit proposed resolution for Contracting Officer consideration.

RESILIENT BASE INSTALLATION

Applications:

Install resilient base in rooms scheduled on Drawings.

Install resilient base on casework and locker toe spaces and other curb supported fixed equipment.

Extend resilient base into closets, alcoves, and cabinet knee spaces, and around columns within scheduled room.

Lay out resilient base with minimum number of joints.

Length: 600 mm (24 inches) minimum, each piece.

Locate joints 150 mm (6 inches) minimum from corners and intersection of adjacent materials.

Installation:

Apply adhesive uniformly for full contact between resilient base and substrate.

Set resilient base with hairline butted joints aligned along top edge.

Factory form corners and end stops.

Vgroove back of outside corner.

Vgroove face of inside corner and notch cove for miter joint.

Roll resilient base ensuring complete adhesion.

CLEANING

Remove excess adhesive before adhesive sets.

Clean exposed resilient base surfaces. Remove contaminants and stains.

Clean with mild detergent. Leave surfaces free of detergent residue.

Polish exposed resilient base to gloss sheen.

PROTECTION

Protect products from construction traffic and operations.

Maintain protection until directed by Contracting Officer's Representative.

Replace damaged products and reclean.

Damaged Products include cut, gouged, scraped, torn, and unbonded products.
