1 Tarkett Vinisin Branch of Kalush Installation manual Number TV 02/2016 HE floor coverings Date Pages 5 Requirements related to the background When installing flexible floor coverings it is very important to check the background carefully to assess the following parameters: strength, especially when the floor will be exposed to huge loads, evenness, to calculate the necessary amount of leveling compound, moisture, which has crucial impact on the quality of covering s adherence to the background. If the background is in direct contact with the ground, an insulating layer shall be applied under the concrete layer. The background, which Tarkett Vinisin Branch of Kalush flexible coverings is applied to, shall be: resistant to loads resulting from floor utilization, dry, maximum acceptable moisture as measured with the CM method shall not exceed 2,0 % CM for a cement background, free from any cracks, all damages shall be repaired before applying a leveling compound, even, no beads are acceptable, the surface shall be smoothed using the leveling compound, smooth and horizontal, maximum deviation from straight line shall not exceed 1 mm per 1 m of length and 2 mm per 2 m of length, clean and dust-free, the surface shall be free from any dirt and other contamination. Before you start work... Installing Tarkett Vinisin Branch of Kalush floor coverings is allowed providing that certain conditions are met: all construction works shall be finished, including painting and installation works, plaster and fillers on walls and floors shall be dry, you should check the tightness of the heating system, the sanitary system, and the windows, no additional works, which may dirty the covering, increase air humidity or wall and floor moisture, are allowed in the rooms where Tarkett Vinisin Branch of Kalush coverings are to be installed, Tarkett Vinisin Branch of Kalush coverings shall be laid in rooms where: - ambient temperature is between C, - background temperature is between C, - relative air humidity is max. 75%, you shall make sure that the colour of the covering is correct, its quantity is sufficient, the covering is not damaged and was manufactured in one batch. All the materials (covering, skirting boards, adhesive) shall be left in the room for 24 hours. The covering in sheets shall be unrolled to allow it to adhere to the background. Before the installation of PVC covering shall be unrolled and leave for maturing for a minimum two days (48 hours) at a temperature not below + 15 C. The panels and tiles may be conditioned in boxes, placed one on another, maximum in 5 level. When installing on base with floor warming system, heating shall be switched off at least 48 hours prior and 48 hours after assembly. When warming system is switched on, temperature shall be increased gradually to maximum 27 C. Glues designed for floor warming systems shall be used for assembly. You should not install the coverings on the following backgrounds: carpets, linoleum, PVC or rubber coverings. 1

2 Installation of a covering in sheets Before application we recommend performing a background acceptance inspection on the basis of a written record. If the background and environmental conditions are proper you can start to install the covering. At the beginning you should design the desired colour arrangement. While planning the demand for different covering colours, you shall take the quantities provided by a unit package into account. For example, planning one 2 m2 - element may require buying 24 m2 of the covering. The excess of the covering can be used not earlier than when the next investment is made. This involves additional storage costs. Mark the lines on the pre-prepared background as per the colour arrangement plan (scale 1:1). Cut the covering so that it matches the lines on the background. Begin installation from the floor edge, which is the farthest from the room entrance. To install the covering stick its entire surface to the pre-prepared background using dispersion acrylic adhesive. To do this you should wind up a half of the covering sheet taking care to prevent the other half from changing its position. Then spread the adhesive over the exposed background using an A1/A2 serrated float. When the adhesive reaches proper adhesive force press the covering against the wall. Then, roll the entire surface with an impression roller (weight of kg). Any residues of the adhesive, which are visible in the joints, shall be immediately removed with a wet cloth. Do not utilise the just-installed covering for at least 48 hours. Do not remove the expansion joints from the background while applying the covering. Then cover them with a masking moulding. The heterogeneous coverings with transparent wear layer shall be laid alternately so that the right edge of one covering sheet stick to the right edge of the next covering sheet. In this away you can avoid possible differences in shades. Applying an adhesive to the background Pressing the covering down to the background Hot welding In order to ensure a tight floor it is recommended to bond all covering sheets using a Tarkett welding cord. you can start welding 24 hours after sticking the covering. If you start welding too early, there is a risk that the covering edges get unstuck while exposed to a high temperature. use manual or automatic miller to mill the joints. - after welding trim the excessive cord to even the surface. It shall be done in two stages: 2

3 - initial trimming using a special knife with a guiding bar or a special trimmer. The cord shall be trimmed at the height of 1mm above the covering. This operation can be done if the welding cord is still warm. Deepness of the groove (~2/3 of the total thickness). - final trimming shall be done with a knife with no guide bars. Take care not to damage the covering edges. This operation can be done only if the weld is cold. Welding with a hand-operated tool First cutting the weld Cold bonding Cold bonding shall be used when coverings are installed in houses or small elements have to be stuck, or using the welding cord would spoil the colour arrangement of the floor: ensure that the covering elements exactly match one another, clean the joint area, stick the 2-3 cm-wide adhesive tape to the neighboring edges of the covering elements. Then cut the tape along the joint line, enter the tip of the tube of glue into the notch so that it touches the background. Then move the when the adhesive dries up (i.e. after about 30 minutes) remove the adhesive tape. Cutting the tape applied to the sheet joint Applying gel to the weld 3

4 Finishing works To ensure proper appearance of the entire floor and to meet all the relevant requirements some finishing works have to be performed at the wall-to-floor edge. It can be done through: forming a skirting from the covering sheet. The flexibility of the covering allows making a skirting along the wall. Such a skirting should be made whenever a covering is installed in wet rooms or rooms, which have to meet high hygiene requirements. The height of the skirting shall be of at least 10cm. A quarter-round moulding shall be used at the wall-to-floor edge. Installation of Sport covering Sport covering can be used in flexible floors of indoor sport venues to practise various kinds of sports. There is a range of solutions to make a sports floor. Only a proper installation ensures that all the relevant requirements can be satisfied. Installation procedure is the same as in other flexible floor coverings. Resilient sport floor covering Resilient sport floor covering is based on a wooden support, in which the surface is made from sport floor covering. It is stuck to the particle board and attached to joist. After using concentrated force, the floor with this construction creates relatively large area of flexure, which significantly exceeds the scope of loaded floor. Construction of Rekord Sport surface resilient floor : 1. Concrete background made in accordance with the standards of building industry resistant to pressures occurring during the in-service time 2. Dump insulation made from vapour barrier foil arranged with the use of overlap method, minimum 15 cm 3. Glazing resilient blocks made of sponge rubber (overall dimensions: 90x80x9 mm) density (800 ± 10) kg/cubic metre 4

5 resilience (60 ± 2) % examined in accordance with the standard EN ISO 8307 stuck to the spacers from soft wood with the dimension of 90 x 90 mm blocks should be attached to the lower joists with the two staples. The staples should be 35 mm long and should be arranged in every (418±1). 4. Double cross grillage made of joists made of softwood which is sanded from four sides dried to moisture (15 ± 3) % sorted according to PN-D standard up to class not worse than KS cross-section 19 x 90 mm nominal wheelbase of upper and lower joists (418 ± 1) mm. 5. Backgroud made of two layers of particle boards, water-resistant, type P5, according to EN 312 standard glued together with adhesive of D3 resistance class according to EN 204 standard nominal dimensions os sheets: 2500 x 1250 x 12 mm crewed to the wood 3,5 x 45 mm away from the joists upper layer plates from the upper layer should be installed in such a way so that the edges would not overlap with the edges of the lower plates in order to get a smooth background and to avoid mapping of the edge plates on the covering, plates joints and roughness should be corrected with the skimmed plaster. 6. Surface made from Rekord Sport floor covering stuck to the upper layer of particle board with dispersion adhesive. 5
