INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  • Condition the area to be installed, adhesive, and carpet to 65°F (18°C) or above for 48
    hours before, during, and for 48 hours after installation.
  • Subfloor must be smooth, sound, dry, clean, and free dirt, wax, polish, paint, and all other
    foreign matter which may interfere in a good bond, including curing agents and sealers.
  • Always run a calcium chloride and alkali test over concrete on any grade level or any
    other substrate over on or below grade concrete. For accurate results, curing agents
    must be removed in areas where tests will be run. Moisture test results should meet
    the flooring manufacturer’s recommendations but should not exceed 5 pounds/
    1000 ft2/24 hours. Alkali readings should be 5 to 9.
  • Stir any liquid on the surface into the adhesive and full spread using the recommended
    trowel notching. Recommended trowel sizes are guidelines only, and are minimum
    requirements. Rough, porous concrete and heavily textured carpet backings may require
    deeper notches. A 100% transfer of adhesive into the carpet backing, while maintaining full
    coverage of the substrate, must be obtained.
  • Before installing stiff-backed carpet or installing over nonporous substrates, allow the
    adhesive to set open to develop some tackiness. For all other carpet installations, install
    the carpet immediately into wet adhesive. For felt-backed sheet flooring, no open time is
    required over concrete. For all other substrates, allow adhesive to set open up to 10 minutes.
    Do not let adhesive skin over.
  • After appropriate open time, cut, fit, and reposition within 40 minutes. Working time will vary
    based on job conditions, substrate, temperature, and humidity.
  • Roll the flooring in both directions using the flooring manufacturer’s recommended roller (normally
    75-100 lbs.). Stiff carpet should be re-rolled in 2 hours.
  • Cut and seal all seams as recommended by the flooring manufacturer.
  • Remove wet adhesive residue using a clean, white cloth dampened with soapy water.
    Use mineral spirits for dried adhesive residue carefully following warnings on container.
  • Restrict heavy traffic over carpet for 24-48 hours and do not expose to water from
    cleaning or other sources for a minimum of 30 days.
  • Protect sheet flooring installations when moving heavy appliances and/or rolling loads.
