Installation:

Location: All grade levels

Suitable Substrates:

All substrates listed below must be properly prepared and meet the requirements discussed in Chapter III, Subfloors and Underlayments. There may be certain exceptions and special conditions for these substrates to be suitable for the Vinyl Composition Tile Installation System.

Full Spread:

• Concrete • Ceramic Tile, Terrazzo, Marble

• Approved Suspended Wood • Polymeric Poured

(seamless) Floors

• Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Lead, Copper, Brass, Bronze

Tile-On:

• Existing Resilient Sheet Floors

• Vinyl Composition, Vinyl Asbestos, Asphalt, Rubber and Vinyl Tile-on

Grade or Suspended Only

Chapter IV — Installation Systems 854.

Job Conditions/Preparation:

• Resilient flooring should only be installed in temperature-controlled environments. It is necessary to maintain a constant temperature before, during, and after the installation. Therefore, the permanent or temporary HVAC system must be in operation before the installation of resilient flooring. Portable heaters are not recommended as they may not heat the room and subfloor sufficiently. Kerosene heaters should never be used.

• Substrates must be dry, clean, smooth, and free from paint, varnish, wax, oils, solvents and other foreign matter. In renovation or remodel work, remove any existing adhesive residue* so that no ridges or puddles are evident and a thin, smooth film remains.

• When using S-240 Epoxy Adhesive, remove any existing adhesive residue* so that 80% of the overall area of the original substrate is exposed. If these requirements are not followed, curled and/or loose tile could result. For Tile- On, remove wax or other finishes with a commercially available liquid wax stripper. Replace or repair indented or otherwise damaged areas.

• Allow all flooring materials and adhesives to condition to the room temperature for a minimum of 48 hours before starting the installation.

• The area to receive the resilient flooring should be maintained at a minimum of 65°F (18°C) and a maximum of 100°F (38°C) for 48 hours before, during, and for 48 hours after completion. When using S-240 Epoxy Adhesive, the maximum room temperature should not exceed 85°F (29°C).

• During the service life of the floor, the temperature should never rise above 100°F (38°C) nor fall below 55°F (13°C). The performance of the flooring material and adhesives can be adversely affected outside this temperature range.

• For concrete substrates, conduct moisture testing (moisture vapor emission rate [MVER]) and/or percent relative humidity (in-situ probe). Bond tests must also be conducted for compatibility with the substrate. Please refer to Chapter III, Subfloors and Underlayments.

• Radiant-heated substrates must not exceed a maximum surface temperature of 85°F (29°C).

• Concrete floors should be tested for alkalinity. The allowable readings for the installation of Armstrong flooring are 5 to 9 on the pH scale.

Precautions:

• S-240 Epoxy Adhesive is recommended for SAFETY ZONE in areas that may be exposed to frequent surface moisture and/or cooler temperatures.

• S-240 Epoxy Adhesive may also be used to install the first 3 to 5 rows of SAFETY ZONE when used in areas that will be affected by surface moisture and/or cooler temperatures.

• Tiles are to be heated from the back only, never the face.

* Some previously manufactured asphaltic “cutback” adhesives contained asbestos (see warning statement on page x). For removal instructions, refer to the Resilient Floor Covering Institute’s publication Recommended Work Practices for Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings.

Chapter IV — Installation Systems864.

• Do not wash tile for at least 4 days after installation. This will allow the tile to become well seated in the adhesive and prevent excess moisture and cleaning agents from interfering with the adhesive bond.

• Products installed using the Tile-On System may have less resistance to indentation. We strongly recommend the use of Armstrong Floor Protectors.

Fitting:

See Chapter VI, Layout and Fitting, for room layout.

Before installing the material, plan the layout so tile joints fall at least 6" (15.2 cm) away from subfloor/underlayment joints. Do not install over expansion joints.

When installing over an existing resilient floor, plan the layout so the new joints are a minimum of 6" (15.2 cm) away from the original seams. When installing over tile floors, joints should fall in the center of the tile.

When installing 12" x 12" (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) tiles, avoid having border pieces less than 6" (15.2 cm) wide.

Abutting Different Gauges of Resilient Flooring: When installing thinner gauge material next to thicker gauge materials, install thicker material first and then butt a 12" (30.5 cm) wide piece of S-153 Scribing Felt against the thicker material. Adhere the Scribing Felt to the subfloor with S-235 Adhesive.

Use the fine notching of the S-891 Trowel over nonporous substrates such as existing resilient flooring, and use the regular notching of the S-891 Trowel over porous subfloors such as wood and concrete. Use S-184 Fast-Setting Cement-Based Patch and Skim Coat or S-194 Patch, Underlayment and Embossing Leveler to feather the edge of the S-153 Scribing Felt to the level of the substrate. Allow the patch to dry completely before installing the flooring.

Scribing Felt is not recommended to be used under the entire installation.

Adhesive Open Times and Trowel Notchings

Adhesive Open Time Working Time

S-515 Approximately 30 minutes or more 24 hours

S-525 Approximately 20 minutes or more 24 hours

S-700 Approximately 30 minutes or more 18 hours

S-750 Approximately 30 minutes or more 6 hours

S-240 Minimum 20 minutes 1 hours

NOTE: All adhesives except S-240 Epoxy Adhesive should be dry-to-touch before installing tile. The amount of open time will vary according to job conditions, temperature, humidity, air flow and type of substrate. All adhesives are applied with fine notching [1/32" (0.8 mm) deep, 1/16" (1.6 mm) wide, 5/64" (2 mm) apart].

Procedure:

See Chapter V, Adhesives, Seam Treatments and Grout.

When using tile from two or more cartons, check to be sure all pattern and lot numbers are the same to ensure proper color match. On larger installations, Chapter IV — Installation Systems 874.

open several cartons and mix them as they are installed to help blend any slight shade differences from one carton to the next.

Tile products with directional arrows on the back should be installed with the arrows all pointing in the same direction.

• Tile Installed Using S-515, S-525, S-700 or S-750:

1. Line off entire area to be installed.

2. Apply the adhesive over the area not covering the chalk lines and using the fine notching of the S-891 Trowel. You may prefer to spread and install one quarter of the room at a time.

3. Allow the adhesive to set until dry-to-touch (except S-240) following the recommended open time. To test, press your thumb lightly on the surface of the adhesive in several places. If the surface feels slightly tacky as your thumb is drawn away and does not stick to your thumb, the adhesive is ready for the installation.

4. Install the tile along the chalk lines, laying the field area first and then fitting in the border tile.

5. Roll all residential tile and SAFETY ZONE in both directions within the adhesive working time using a 100-lb. roller.

6. Clean adhesive from the surface of the tile using a clean white cloth dampened with a neutral detergent and water.

7. Tile should not be exposed to rolling load traffic for at least 72 hours after installation to allow setting and drying of the adhesive.

• SAFETY ZONE in Specialty Areas:

1. Line off entire area to be installed (Fig. 4).

2. Move chalk lines to one corner or end of the area farthest from the doorway. These lines should be 2' or 3' from the wall depending on your reach (Fig. 5).

3. Mix the entire contents of Part A and Part B together with a stirring motion while at the same time lifting from the bottom. Mix thoroughly for 3 to 5 minutes to a uniform color. Do not over mix. Never mix S-240 Epoxy Adhesive on the subfloor surface.

4. Immediately pour the entire unit of mixed adhesive onto the subfloor.

Do not leave mixed adhesive in cans because it shortens pot life and

working time, and may generate excessive heat. Maximum pot life of the S-240 Epoxy Adhesive is approximately 10 minutes depending on temperature and atmospheric conditions.

5. Apply S-240 Epoxy Adhesive for only 2 or 3 rows of tile. Working time of S-240 Epoxy Adhesive is approximately 1 hour.

6. Tile may be placed into the adhesive immediately, but allowing 15 to 20 minutes of open time and fitting border tile tightly will reduce tile shifting and adhesive oozing. Do not allow the adhesive to dry completely.

7. Install tile with the arrows on the back of the tile pointing in the same direction.

8. Roll tile in both directions within 1 hour of spreading S-240 Epoxy Adhesive using a 100-lb. roller. Re-roll 1 hour later in both directions.

Remove adhesive residue from the surface of all the tile immediately using a clean, white cloth dampened with neutral detergent and water.

Dried S-240 Epoxy Adhesive cannot be removed.

9. Do not work on newly adhered tile except to roll tile. Use a kneeling board if necessary.

10. Repeat Steps 4 through 9 until the entire area is completed.

11. Do not allow traffic on tile for 24 hours after installation.

12. Flooring should not be exposed to rolling load traffic for at least 72 hours after installation to allow setting and drying of the adhesive.

Maintenance Procedures for the application of Floor Finish (Polish) Products: VCT and BIO–Required armstrong Flooring commercial Vinyl composition tile and Bio-Flooring are coated with the Fast start® Factory Finish. Fortunately, the Fast start® Factory Finish makes initial maintenance quick and easy and does not require removal after installation. it is compatible with commercial floor polishes (such as armstrong Flooring s-480 commercial Floor Polish) and reduces the need to strip the tile.

these products require polishing for protection, ease of maintenance and for long term apperance retention.

A. Initial Maintenance – Immediately After Installation

1. Sweep, dust mop or vacuum the floor thoroughly to remove all loose dust, dirt, grit and debris.

2. Remove any dried adhesive residue with a clean white cloth dampened with mineral spirits, carefully following warnings on the container.

3. Damp mop the floor with a properly diluted neutral (pH 6 to 8) detergent solution, such as Armstrong Flooring S-485 Commercial Floor Cleaner.

4. IMPORTANT: Apply a minimum of 2 coats of a high-quality commercial floor polish (such as Armstrong Flooring S-480 Commercial Floor Polish) to temporarily protect the floor until regular maintenance procedures can begin. The use of a high-quality stain-resistant sealer (such as Armstrong Flooring S-495 Commercial Floor Sealer) beneath the polish should be considered in areas of high traffic, high soil load and areas where staining potential is high.

B. Initial Maintenance–Preparation for Commercial Traffic

1. Machine scrub the floor with a properly diluted neutral (pH 6 to 8) detergent solution (such as Armstrong Flooring S-485

Commercial Floor Cleaner) and a scrubbing pad (3M™ blue or equal) or equivalent brushes.

˚ If the floor is badly soiled and/or scratched, strip it using the same procedure, but substituting a properly diluted stripping solution note: the use of aggressive strippers such as mop-on/mop-off, no-scrub and no-rinse strippers is not recommended on tile floors less than two years old because they may affect the adhesive bond.

2. Thoroughly rinse the entire floor with fresh, clean water. Remove rinse water and allow the floor to dry completely.

3. Apply 3 to 5 coats of high-quality commercial floor polish, such as Armstrong Flooring S-480 Commercial Floor Polish.

˚ If the floor has been stripped, the application of a stain resistant sealer (such as Armstrong Flooring S-495 Commercial Floor Sealer) prior to the application of polish, is recommended in areas that will be exposed to heavy traffic and/or staining agents

C. Daily/Regular Maintenance

1. Sweep, dust mop or vacuum the floor daily to remove dust, dirt, grit and debris that can damage the floor and become ground into the surface.

2. Spot mop as needed. Any spills should be cleaned up immediately.

3. Damp mopping of the floor should be performed on a regular or daily basis, depending upon traffic and soil levels in the space.

Use a properly diluted neutral (pH 6 to 8) detergent solution, such as Armstrong Flooring S-485 Commercial Floor Cleaner.

D. Periodic Maintenance

1. When needed, after sweeping, dust mopping or vacuuming, machine scrub the floor with a properly diluted neutral (pH 6 to 8) detergent solution (such as Armstrong Flooring S-485 Commercial Floor Cleaner) and the appropriate scrubbing pad (3M™ red or equal for light scrub, 3M™ blue or equal for a deep scrub) or equivalent brush.

2. Thoroughly rinse the entire floor with fresh, clean water. Remove rinse water and allow the floor to dry completely.

3. If needed, additional coats of floor polish may be applied at this time. If there is sufficient base of polish remaining (3 to 5 coats), buff, spray buff or burnish to restore gloss.

E. Restorative Maintenance – Stripping and Re-polishing note: the use of aggressive strippers such as mop-on/mop-off, no-scrub and no-rinse strippers is not recommended on tile floors less than two years old because they may affect the adhesive bond.

1. Mix stripping solution to the appropriate dilution, depending on floor finish build-up.

˚ Cordon off areas to be stripped

˚ Apply liberal amounts of solution uniformly on the floor with a mop

˚ Let stripping solution soak for the appropriate amount of time recommended by the stripper manufacturer

˚ Keep areas to be stripped wet. Rewet if necessary.

2. Machine scrub the floor (300 rpm or less) with a scrubbing pad (3M™ blue or equal) or equivalent scrub brush to break up the polish film. IMPORTANT: Do not allow stripping solution to dry on the floor.

3. Remove dirty stripping solution.

TIP: Drizzling fresh, clean rinse water onto the dirty stripping solution will assist with more thorough removal.

4. Thoroughly rinse the entire floor with fresh, clean water. Remove rinse water and allow it to dry completely.

5. Apply 3 to 5 coats of high-quality commercial floor polish, such as Armstrong Flooring S-480 Commercial Floor Polish.

˚ The use of a high-quality stain-resistant sealer (such as Armstrong Flooring S-495 Commercial Floor Sealer) beneath the polish should be considered in areas of high traffic, areas of high soil load and areas where staining potential is high

Special Considerations Feature™ Tile: Feature Tile, like solid-colored floors of any composition, shows scratches and soiling more readily than patterned materials. It has been designed for use as decorative bands, borders and spot accent colors in combination with other Armstrong Flooring 1/8" Standard Excelon® and Excelon Tile. Feature Tile is not suitable for use as an overall floor color and is not recommended for this use. When first installed, the plain-colored surface may reveal a light dusty or powdery film and some directional surface markings. These are common to the production of this type of product, but the markings will be eliminated with regular cleaning and polishing and will not affect the performance of the floor.

Stonetex®: Although Stonetex presents a monolithic or solid-colored image, the speckled pattern enables it to look better longer than Feature Tile or other non-patterned vinyl composition tile. Stonetex may require more frequent maintenance than a typical vinyl composition tile with a more prominent pattern.
