PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 INSPECTION: A. Installer must examine the areas and conditions under which resilient flooring and accessories are to be installed and notify the Contractor in writing of conditions detrimental to the proper and timely completion of the work. Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable to the Installer. 1. Visually inspect for evidence of moisture, alkaline salts, carbonation, dusting, mold, or mildew. 2. Failure to call attention to defects or imperfections will be construed as acceptance and approval of the subfloor. Installation indicates acceptance of substrates with regard to conditions existing at the time of installation. 3.2 CONCRETE SUBFLOORS OR GYPSUM CEMENT FLOOR UNDERLAYMENT: A. Verify that concrete slabs comply with ASTM F710 and the following: 1. Slab substrates are dry and free of curing compounds, sealers, hardeners, residual adhesives, adhesive removers, and other materials whose presence would interfere with bonding of adhesive. Determine adhesion and dryness characteristics by performing bond and moisture tests recommended by manufacturer. 2. Finishes of subfloors comply with tolerances and other requirements specified in Division 03 Section, "Cast-In-Place Concrete" for slabs receiving resilient flooring (09655)-Page 4 of 7

5 3.

Subfloor Alkalinity Conditions: Before installing flooring Contractor shall verify that a ph range of 5 to 9 when subfloor is wetted with potable water and phydrion paper is applied 3.3 PREPARATION A. General: Comply with manufacturer's installation specifications for preparing substrates to receive products indicated. B. Sweep and vacuum clean substrates to be covered by floor coverings immediately before installation. After cleaning, examine substrates for moisture, alkaline salts, carbonation, and dust. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. C. This Contractor to remove coatings, including curing compounds, adhesives, plastics, and other substances that are incompatible with flooring adhesives and that contain soap, wax, oil, or silicone, by using a terrazzo or concrete grinder, a drum sander, or a polishing machine equipped with a heavy-duty wire brush. Surface to receive new flooring shall be prepared, including removal of existing materials not acceptable for proper installation of new materials, as required by manufacturer. Do not use solvents. 1. Prep floor according to ASTM F710 criteria. D. Use leveling compound as recommended by flooring manufacturer for filling small cracks and depressions in subfloors. E. Apply concrete slab primer, if recommended by flooring manufacturer, prior to application of adhesive. Apply in compliance with manufacturer's directions. 3.4 INSTALLATION - GENERAL: A. Install flooring after finishing operations, including painting, have been completed. Moisture content of concrete slabs, building air temperature, and relative humidity must be within limits recommended by flooring manufacturer's directions. B. Patch and repair floors and walls to receive flooring for proper installation of flooring, stair accessories, and base. C. Place flooring with adhesive cement in strict compliance with manufacturer's recommendations. Butt tightly to vertical surfaces and edgings. Scribe around obstructions and to produce neat joints, laid tight, even, and straight. Extend flooring into toe spaces. D. 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 nonpermanent marking device. E. Install flooring on covers for telephone and electrical ducts and other such items as occur within finished floor areas. F. Maintain overall continuity of color and pattern with pieces of flooring installed in these covers. Tightly cement edges to perimeter of floor around covers and to covers (09655)-Page 5 of 7

6 G. Tightly cement flooring to subbase without open cracks, voids, raising and puckering at joints, telegraphing of adhesive spreader marks, or other surface imperfections. 3.5 RESILIENT WALL BASE INSTALLATION A. At areas where base is required, apply resilient base to walls, columns, pilasters, casework, and other permanent fixtures, as coordinated with type of flooring. Install base in as long lengths as practicable. Tightly bond base to backing throughout the length of each piece with continuous contact at horizontal and vertical surfaces. On irregular surfaces, fill voids along top edge of resilient wall base with manufacturer's recommended adhesive filler material. B. Job-Formed Corners: 1. Outside Corners: Use straight pieces of maximum lengths possible. Form without producing discoloration (whitening) at bends. Shave back of base at points where bends occur and remove strips perpendicular to length of base that are only deep enough to produce a snug fit without removing more than half the wall base thickness. 2. Inside Corners: Use straight pieces of maximum lengths possible. Form by cutting an inverted V-shaped notch in toe of wall base at the point where corner is formed. Shave back of base where necessary to produce a snug fit to substrate. 3.6 ACCESSORIES: A. Place resilient edge strips tightly butted to adjacent materials of type indicated and bond to substrates with adhesive. Install edging strips at all unprotected edges of flooring unless otherwise shown. Apply resilient accessories to stairs and risers as indicated and according to manufacturer's installation instructions. B. Stair Nosings: 1. Use stair-tread-nose filler, according to resilient tread manufacturer's written instructions, to fill nosing substrates that do not conform to tread contours. 2. Apply resilient products to stairs as indicated and according to manufacturer's written installation instructions. 3.7 CLEANING AND PROTECTION: A. Perform the following operations immediately after installing resilient floor coverings: 1. Remove adhesive and other surface blemishes using cleaner recommended by floor covering manufacturer. 2. Sweep or vacuum floor thoroughly. 3. Do not wash floor covering until after time period recommended by floor covering manufacturer. 4. Damp-mop floor to remove marks and soil. B. Protect flooring against mars, marks, indentations, and other damage from construction operations and placement of equipment and fixtures during remainder of construction period. Use protection methods indicated or recommended by manufacturer of resilient product involved (09655)-Page 6 of 7

7 C. Clean products specified in this Section not more than four days prior to dates scheduled for inspections intended to establish date of Substantial Completion in each area of Project. Clean products using method recommended by manufacturer. Strip protective floor polish that was applied after completing installation, prior to cleaning. D. Do not move heavy and sharp objects directly over resilient floor coverings. Place plywood or hardboard panels over floor coverings and under objects while they are being moved. Slide or roll objects over panels without moving panels. 3.8 FINISHING: A. After completion of project and just prior to final inspection of work, thoroughly clean floors and accessories. For resilient tile, apply wax and buff with type of wax, number of coats, and buffing procedures in compliance with flooring manufacturer's instructions. END OF SECTION (09650) (09655)-Page 7 of 7
