2 Estrad 40203, front cover Estrad Podium Estrad Estrad db Estrad Plano Safety and reliability through long experience. Timeless design. Practicality and versatility. These are the key elements of the Estrad flooring philosophy. Estrad floors are designed to be used; they endure even the hardest of wear, provide background for the interior design, and please the eye with their attractive tones. Estrad ESD Podium 43201

3 3 Due to the subtlety and earthiness of the Estrad product family, its members can yield the stage to the rest of the furnishings; or, should you so desire, they can enliven or even dominate the space. The coordinated colour palette radiates strength and energy, allowing you to choose from a range of bright and vivid colours, or, on the other hand, from stylishly neutral greys and gentle, broken tones.

7 7 Podium Estrad 40215, Estrad Plano The Estrad product family provides alternatives for different applications Estrad and Podium for normal commercial usage, Estrad db for spaces requiring impact sound resistance, and Estrad ESD for eliminating static electricity. The designs vary from the lively Podium to the discreet Estrad and the fully uni-colour Estrad Plano. Altogether, there are 60 colour and design alternatives in the range. With the exception of Estrad db, all floorings are of the same thickness and can be easily combined. The beautifully harmonising colour palettes of the different products have been designed based on common base colour templates. The modern water-jet cutting technique allows versatile possibilities for enlivening the floor with a wide variety of patterns.

8 The Estrad family provides excellent wear resistance and performance in demanding applications such as education and the healthcare and service sectors. The resilient flooring is moisture-proof and pleasant underfoot. The TOP Protection surface, developed by Upofloor, provides better than ever chemical resistance and easy maintenance for the flooring.

13 13 Estrad db is an impact sound resistant flooring for public premises. Designed for e.g. daycare centres, service flats, hospitals, offices and stairwells in blocks of flats, it combines a compact and wear resistant surface with a soft and resilient foam backing. This unique material composition provides at the same time anti-stress underfoot comfort, sound insulation and resilience in various working environments. Estrad ESD is a static dissipative vinyl flooring for ESD-protected spaces such as the electronics and telecommunications industries, IT premises, operating theatres and other surgical rooms of hospitals, and the explosives industry, where electrostatic discharges may damage sensitive equipment or cause personal injury. The flooring meets electrical safety requirements (insulation resistance >50 kω) and the requirements of the IEC standard. It maintains very stable values even in dry conditions (RH 12%). Estrad ESD

14 Podium s design features contrasts which hide traces of wear but still look calm on large surfaces. Thanks to its expressive design and polyurethane surface treatment, the flooring has a long service life and low maintenance costs. Podium is at its best in premises under especially heavy wear, such as entrance and walkways, schools and stores.

21 21 INSTALLATION RH of the concrete floor must not exceed 85% (2% CM). Temperature during installation and that of subfloor and material should be at least +18 ºC. Before installing the flooring, it must be ensured that the final levelling compounds have dried sufficiently. The floor must be rolled to achieve maximum adhesion. The weight of the roll should be kg. Rolling should be carried out before the adhesive dries. This is done to prevent the emergence of adhesive application lines and indentation on the finished floor surface. Avoid traffic on the floor and do not move furniture until adhesive has totally dried. To provide a watertight joint the seams of the flooring should be heat welded using a PVC rod. Also corners and coved skirtings should be welded. Where welding is not possible, sealing should be carried out using a suitable welding paste. Welding paste should also be used for the sealing of through fitted pipes. Hot air gun should be used on the reverse side of the flooring when laying flooring sections that are laid against the wall, in order to avoid differences in gloss and damages of the floor surface. Adhesive manufacturers provide full information and recommendations on the use of their products. MAINTENANCE Initial cleaning Polishing Daily maintenance Stain removal Warning Sweep floor clean of any loose dirt. Wash with mild alkaline or alkaline solution using a scrubbing machine or a combination machine with red pads. Avoid scrubbing. The floor can be treated by using Super High Speed machine. The SHS-method allows the use of maintenance cleaner. Initial polishing is not necessary because of the PUR-treatment (polyurethane). Damp cleaning, or when necessary, use a combination machine with neutral or mild alkaline cleaning solution and maintenance cleaner. If necessary we recommend machine cleaning with a stronger maintenance cleaner. Plain and light colours always demand more maintenance than patterned designs. Patterned floorings, such as Podium, are therefore recommended for heavy traffic areas. All stains must be removed immediately to avoid permanent marks on the floor. Stain remover may affect the flooring or the adhesive. When in doubt about the effects of stain remover carry out a test or contact flooring/remover manufacturer. On stubborn marks it is recommended to use the effect of chemicals instead of mechanical scrubbing.

23 23 EVEN ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES WITHOUT CARBON BLACK ON THE SURFACE Estrad ESD is static dissipative flooring developed for facilities where static discharge may cause damage to sensitive devices. These include, for instance, electronics and telecommunication facilities and operating theatres in hospitals. Estrad ESD has no carbon black on the surface, yet it renders an even electrostatic performance due to its special product formulation. It also performs perfectly at low relative humidity environments (RH 12%). Estrad ESD meets the requirements for floors in standard IEC EASY INSTALLATION RELIABLE PERFORMANCE The backing of Estrad ESD is conductive, and therefore conductive glue is not required for installation. This makes installation more convenient and economical. Estrad ESD maintains its electrical properties regardless of the glue. It also meets the requirements for an insulating floor, insulation resistance > 100 kω. The conductors needed in the installation are included in the price and come with the package. Estrad ESD can be installed on all subfloors suitable for vinyl flooring. INSTALLATION Any surface suited for normal vinyl flooring will be suitable as a base for installation. RH of the concrete floor must not exceed 85% or CM 2.0%. The temperature of installation, subfloor and material should be at least +18 C. Before installing the flooring, it must be ensured that the final levelling compounds have dried sufficiently. The backside of flooring has sufficient conductive properties; conductive adhesive is not required for installation. For the same reason, a metal grid on the subfloor is unnecessary. Regular vinyl flooring adhesive is suitable for installation. Adhesive manufacturers provide full information and recommendations on the use of their products. In public areas the floor must be rolled to achieve maximum adhesion. The weight of the roll should be kg. Rolling should be carried out before the adhesive dries. This is done to prevent the emergence of adhesive application lines and indentations on the finished floor surface. Avoid traffic on the floor and do not move furniture until the adhesive has completely dried. Seams and coved skirtings are to be heat welded using a PVC-rod. Also corners should be welded. Where welding is not possible, sealing should be carried out using a suitable welding paste. When laying flooring sections which are laid against the wall a hot air gun should be used on the reverse side of the flooring in order to avoid differences in gloss and damages on the floor surface. Welding paste should also be used for sealing of through fitted pipes. Installation instructions, copper strips for grounding and maintenance instructions are delivered in the core of each roll. MAINTENANCE Initial cleaning Polishing Daily maintenance SHS-method Stain removal Warning Sweep the floor clean of any loose dirt. Wash with alkaline solution (containing glycol), use red pads or medium hard brushes when cleaning with scrubbing machine or a combination machine. Rinse. The floor can be treated by using Super High Speed machine, the result is permanently higher gloss of the surface. If necessary you can polish the floor with one thin coat of water emulsion polish or so called antistatic wax. The suitability of the wax must be tested. The electrical insulation resistance must be tested after polishing. Waxing may weaken the conductivity of the flooring. Damp or wet cleaning, depending on type of soiling. Use a neutral or mild alkaline detergent or protective substances. Larger surfaces require the use of a combination machine. When necessary a localized polishing can be carried on the areas with most traffic. The floor can be treated by using Super High Speed machine with red pads. The SHS-method allows the use of protective substances. All stains must be removed immediately to avoid permanent marks on the floor. Stain removers may affect the flooring or the adhesive. When in doubt about the effect of stain remover carry out a test or contact flooring/remover manufacturer. On stubborn marks it is recommended to use the effect of chemicals instead of mechanical scrubbing.
