Preparation:
Prepare floor substrates as recommended by flooring and adhesive manufacturers. Remove sub-floor ridges and bumps. Fill minor low spots, cracks, joints, holes, and other defects with sub-floor filler to achieve smooth, flat, hard surface.
Apply primer as required to prevent “bleed-through” or interference with adhesion by substances that cannot be removed. RH testing is required when moisture may be present.
Adhesive:
Taylor Resolute (Previously MS Plus Resilient) has been tested by the manufacturer as the preferred adhesive for this non-backed vinyl. Any alternate adhesive must be plasticizer migrant resistant or an adverse reaction to the ink can occur. Roberts 7350 or Henry 695 may be suitable alternatives.
Installation:
It is imperative to maintain the material, adhesive, and job site at a temperature between 65°F and 85°F for 48 hours before and during the installation. If the material has been stored at colder temperatures, it will need to be allowed to relax for at lease 24 hours before proceeding with the installation. See Full Installation Instructions for more details.
