Flooring: Flooring shall be Shaw Quiet Cover 0186V Commercial High Performance Luxury Vinyl Tile with In-Step Locking System, 7” x 48”, 00720 Mink and 00750 Timber (color to be confirmed by COR prior to Contractor order). Wear layer thickness 0.020 inches, overall thickness, 0.197 inches, backing class commercial grade, ExoGuard finish, microbevel edge profile, Florsept added antimicrobial, floating installation, no adhesive required. Shall meet ASTM F1700, Class III, Printed Film Vinyl Tile, Type B.

Adhesive: Basis of design is a floating floor which does not require adhesive.

Installation: Install in all hatched areas shown on Attachment A1. Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions for application and installation unless specified otherwise. Mix tile from at least two containers. An apparent line either of shades or pattern variance is not acceptable. If tile layout is not shown on construction documents, lay tile symmetrically about center of room or space with joints aligned. Vary edge width as necessary to maintain full size tiles in the field, no edge tile to be less than 1/2 the field tile size, except where irregular shaped rooms make it impossible. Place tile pattern in the same direction; do not alternate tiles. Scribe, cut, and fit floor tiles to butt neatly and tightly to vertical surfaces and permanent fixtures including built-in furniture, cabinets, pipes, outlets, and door frames. Extend floor tiles into toe spaces, door reveals, closets, and similar openings. Extend floor tiles to center of door openings. COR to inspect flooring and require re-installation where quality is not met.

Installation of Edge/Transition Strips: Install transition strip where new flooring meets existing tile, as necessary. Transition strip shall be recommended for both types of flooring and approved by COR. Locate edge strips under center line of doors unless otherwise shown on construction documents. Set resilient edge strips in adhesive.

Anchor metal edge strips with anchors and screws. Where tile edge is exposed, butt edge strip to touch along tile edge. Where thin set ceramic tile abuts resilient tile, set edge strip against floor file and against the ceramic tile edge.

Cleaning: Clean adhesive marks on exposed surfaces during the application of resilient materials before the adhesive sets. Exposed adhesive is not acceptable. Clean flooring as recommended in accordance with manufacturer’s printed maintenance instructions and within the recommended time frame. As required by the manufacturer, apply the recommended number of coats and type of polish and/or finish in accordance with manufacturer’s written instructions.

Installation of Millwork Wall Base: Install 3/8” thick by 5.25” height millwork resilient wall base, thermoplastic rubber. ASTM F1861, Type TP thermoplastic rubber, Group 1. Millwork profile to replicate the look of finely milled wood. Basis of Design is Johnsonite Millwork, Inflection Profile MW-194-G, any substitutions must be approved by COR. Provide each product from one manufacturer and from one production run. Color to approved by COR.

Preparation: Examine and verify substrate suitability for product installation.

Protect existing construction and completed work from damage. 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. Some areas with 6” cove base will require minor patching of wall where removed, as 5.25” millwork base will not fully cover.

Installation: Install product according to manufacturer’s instructions. Install around perimeter of hatched area shown on Attachment A1. Layout resilient base with minimum number of joints, minimum length of each piece is 24”. Locate joints 6” from corners and intersections of adjacent materials. Apply adhesive uniformly for full contact between resilient base and substrate. Set resilient base with hairline butted joints aligned along top edge.

Preformed corners: Install preformed corners if available before installing straight pieces.

Millwork profiles – job-formed corners:

1. Outside corners: Use straight pieces of maximum lengths possible and miter corners to fit.

2. Inside corners: Butt one piece to corner then scribe next piece to fit.

Tightly adhere millwork resilient base to substrate throughout length of each piece, with base in continuous contact with horizontal and vertical substrates. Do not stretch resilient base during installation. COR will inspect wall base and require re-installation where quality is not met.

Cleaning: Remove excess adhesive before adhesive sets. Clean exposed resilient base, resilient stair treats, and surfaces. Remove contaminants and stains. Clean with mild detergent. Leave surfaces free of detergent residue. Polish exposed resilient base to gloss sheen.
