3.0 EXECUTION
3.1 Manufacturer's Instructions
A. Compliance: Comply with manufacturer's product data, including technical bulletins, product
catalog, installation instructions, and product carton instructions for installation and maintenance
procedures as needed.
3.2 Examination
A. Site Verification of Conditions: Verify substrate conditions (which have been previously installed
under other sections) are acceptable for product installation in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions (i.e. moisture tests, bond test, pH test, etc.).
B. Visually inspect flooring materials, adhesives and accessories prior to installation. Flooring
material with visual defects shall not be installed and shall not be considered as a legitimate
claim.
C. Examine subfloors prior to installation to determine that surfaces are smooth and free from cracks,
holes, ridges, and other defects that might prevent adhesive bond or impair durability or
appearance of the flooring material.
D. Inspect subfloors prior to installation to determine that surfaces are free from curing, sealing,
parting and hardening compounds; residual adhesives; adhesive removers; and other foreign
materials that might prevent adhesive bond. Visually inspect for evidence of moisture, alkaline
salts, carbonation, dusting, mold, or mildew.
E. Report conditions contrary to contract requirements that would prevent a proper installation. Do
not proceed with the installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
F. 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.
3.3 Preparation

bumps, and filling low spots, control or construction joints, and other defects with Armstrong S-
184 Fast-Setting Cement-Based Patch and Underlayment as recommended by the flooring
manufacturer. Refer to Armstrong Guaranteed Installation Systems manual, F-5061 and ASTM F
710 Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring for additional

ASTM F 1869,Standard Test Method for Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete
Subfloor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride and Bond Tests as described in the Armstrong
Guaranteed Installation Systems manual, F-5061, to determine if surfaces are dry; free of curing
and hardening compounds, old adhesive, and other coatings; and ready to receive flooring.
Relative humidity shall not exceed 80%. Do not proceed with flooring installation until results of
moisture tests are acceptable. All test results shall be documented and retained.
D. Concrete pH Testing: Perform pH tests on concrete floors regardless of their age or grade level.
All test results shall be documented and retained.
E. Surface Cleaning: Vacuum or broom-clean surfaces to be covered immediately before the
application of flooring. Make subfloor free from dust, dirt, grease, and all foreign materials.
3.4 Installation of Flooring
