DEMOLITION

Remove and furniture and appliances and store for replaceing following flooring installation. Remove existing old flooring and scrape sub-floor surface of any residual adhesive material left behind. Dispose of old flooring properly.

INSPECTION

Require Installer to inspect subfloor surfaces to determine that they are satisfactory. A satisfactory subfloor surface is defined as one that is smooth and free from cracks, holes, ridges, coatings preventing adhesive bond, and other defects impairing performance or appearance.

Concrete Subfloors: Verify that concrete slabs comply with ASTM F 710 and the following:

Place Concrete” for slabs receiving resilient flooring.

Subfloors are free of cracks, ridges, depressions, scale, and foreign deposits.

Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

PREPARATION

Prepare subfloor surfaces as follows:

Use leveling and patching compounds as recommended by resilient flooring manufacturer for filling small cracks, holes and depressions in subfloors.

Remove coatings from subfloor surfaces that would prevent adhesive bond, including curing compounds incompatible with resilient flooring adhesives, paint, oils, waxes and sealers.

Broom clean or vacuum surfaces to be covered, and inspect subfloor.

Apply concrete slab primer, if recommended by flooring manufacturer, prior to application of adhesive. Apply in compliance with manufacturer's directions.

INSTALLATION - GENERAL

Where movable partitions are shown, install resilient flooring before partitions are erected.

Scribe, cut, and fit resilient flooring to permanent fixtures, built-in furniture and cabinets, pipes, outlets and permanent columns, walls and partitions.

Maintain reference markers, holes, or openings that are in place or plainly marked for future cutting by repeating on finish flooring as marked on subfloor. Use chalk or other non-permanent marking device.

Tightly cement resilient flooring to subbase without open cracks, voids, raising and puckering at joints, telegraphing of adhesive spreader marks, or other surface imperfections. Hand roll resilient flooring at perimeter of each covered area to assure adhesion.

Comply with resilient floor covering manufacturer’s written installation instruction.

Prepare seams in vinyl sheet flooring in accordance with manufacturer's instructions for most inconspicuous appearance, sealing continuously with fluid-applied sealant or adhesive as standard with manufacturer.

Heat-Welded Seams: Rout joints and heat weld with welding bead, permanently fusing sections into a seamless floor covering. Prepare, weld, and finish seams according to manufacturer’s written instructions and ASTM F 1516 to produce surfaces flush with adjoining floor covering surfaces.

INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES

Apply wall base to walls, columns, pilasters, casework and other permanent fixtures in rooms or areas where base is required. Install base in lengths as long as practicable, Page | 10 with preformed corner units, or fabricated from base materials with mitered or coped inside corners.

Tightly bond base to substrate throughout length of each piece, with continuous contact at horizontal and vertical surfaces.

On masonry surfaces, or other similar irregular substrates, fill voids along top edge of resilient wall base with manufacturer's recommended adhesive filler material.

Place resilient edge strips tightly butted to flooring and secure with adhesive. Install edging strips at edges of flooring which would otherwise be exposed.
