PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates, with Installer present, for compliance with
requirements for maximum moisture content and other conditions affecting
performance of the Work.
B. Verify that finishes of substrates comply with tolerances and other
requirements specified in other Sections and that substrates are free of
cracks, ridges, depressions, scale, and foreign deposits that might interfere
with adhesion of floor tile.
C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Prepare substrates according to manufacturer's written instructions to
ensure adhesion of resilient products.
B. Concrete Substrates: Prepare according to ASTM F 710.
1. Verify that substrates are dry and free of curing compounds, sealers,
and hardeners.
2. Remove substrate coatings and other substances that are
incompatible with adhesives and that contain soap, wax, oil, or
silicone, using mechanical methods recommended by manufacturer.
Do not use solvents.
3. Alkalinity and Adhesion Testing: Perform tests recommended by
manufacturer. Proceed with installation only after substrates pass
testing.
C. Fill cracks, holes, and depressions in substrates with trowelable leveling
and patching compound and remove bumps and ridges to produce a
uniform and smooth substrate.
D. Do not install floor tiles until they are same temperature as space where
they are to be installed.
1. Move resilient products and installation materials into spaces where
they will be installed at least 48 hours in advance of installation.
E. Sweep and vacuum clean substrates to be covered by resilient products
immediately before installation.

3.3 FLOOR TILE INSTALLATION
A. Install staticcontrol resilient flooring accord ing to manufacturer’s written
instructions
B. Embed grounding strips in staticcontr ol adhesive. Extend grounding
strips beyond perimeter of staticcontrol resilient floorcovering surfaces
to ground connections.
C. Scribe, cut, and fit staticcontrol resilient fl ooring to butt neatly and tightly
to vertical surfaces and permanent fixtures including builtin furniture,
cabinets, pipes, outlets, and door frames.
D. Install staticcontrol resilient flooring on cov ers for telephone and
electrical ducts, and similar items in installation areas. Maintain overall
continuity of color and pattern with pieces of staticcontrol resilient flooring
installed on covers. Tightly adhere staticcontrol resilient flooring edges
to substrates that abut covers and to cover perimeters.
E. Adhere staticcontrol resilient flooring to subs trates using a full spread of
staticcontrol adhesive applied to substrate to pro duce a completed
installation without open cracks, voids, raising and puckering at joints,
telegraphing of adhesive spreader marks, and other surface
imperfections.
3.4 CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions for cleaning and
protection of floor tile.
B. Perform the following operations immediately after completing floor tile
installation:
1. Remove adhesive and other blemishes from exposed surfaces.
2. Sweep and vacuum surfaces thoroughly.
3. Dampmop surfaces to remove marks and soil.
C. Protect floor tile products from mars, marks, indentations, and other
damage from construction operations and placement of equipment and
fixtures during remainder of construction period.
D. Cover floor tile with Ram Board Protective Card Board secured by
painters tape and one layer of hard board or equal until substantial
completion by Div 23 and Division 27 Contractors.
E. After substantial completion by Division 27 Contractor, but prior to final
project closeout. If recommended in writing by manufacturer, apply
protective staticcontrol floor polish formulated t o maintain or enhance
floor covering's electrical properties; ensure staticcontrol resilient flooring

surfaces are free from soil, staticcontrol adhesiv e, and surface
blemishes. Do not apply standard wax.
a. Verify that both floor polish and its application method are approved
by manufacturer and that floor polish will not leave an insulating film
that reduces staticcontrol resilient flooring's ef fectiveness for static
control.
F. Provide final cleaning – at final acceptance, as directed by Owner.
