PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
A. Prepare substrates according to linoleum flooring manufacturer's written instructions to ensure
adhesion of flooring.
B. Concrete Substrates: Prepare according to ASTM F710.
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 flooring
adhesives and that contain soap, wax, oil, or silicone, using mechanical methods
recommended by linoleum flooring manufacturer. Do not use solvents. This includes
foreign materials such as dust, paint, grease, oils, solvents, curing and hardening
compounds, sealers, asphalt, and old adhesive residue.
3. Alkalinity and Adhesion Testing: Perform tests recommended by linoleum flooring
manufacturer. Proceed with installation only after substrate alkalinity falls within range
on pH scale recommended by manufacturer in writing, but not less than 7 or more than 9
pH.
4. Moisture Testing: Test shall be conducted in accoradance with ASTM F2170. Perform
tests so that each test area does not exceed 1000 sq. ft. and perform no fewer than three
tests in each installation area and with test areas evenly spaced in installation areas.
a. Anhydrous Calcium Chloride Test: ASTM F1869. Proceed with installation only
after substrates have maximum moisture-vapor-emission rate of 3 lb of water/1000
sq. ft. in 24 hours.
b. Relative Humidity Test: Using in-situ probes, ASTM F2170. Proceed with
installation only after substrates have a maximum 80 percent relative humidity
level measurement.
5. An adhesive bond test should be performed using the actual flooring materials and
adhesive to be installed. The test areas should be a minimum of 36" x 36" and remain in
place for at least 72 hours and then evaluated for bond strength to the concrete.
C. Fill cracks, holes, and depressions in substrates with trowelable leveling and patching
compound; remove bumps and ridges to produce a uniform and smooth substrate. Floors shall
be smooth prior to installation.
D. Do not install flooring until materials are the same temperature as space where they are to be
installed.
1. At least 72 hours in advance of installation, move flooring and installation materials into
spaces where they will be installed.
E. Immediately before installation, sweep and vacuum clean substrates to be covered by flooring.

including built-in furniture, cabinets, pipes, outlets, edgings, thresholds, door frames, and
nosings.
C. Extend flooring into toe spaces, door reveals, closets, and similar openings.
D. Maintain reference markers, holes, and openings that are in place or marked for future cutting
by repeating on flooring as marked on substrates. Use chalk or other nonpermanent marking
device.
E. Install flooring on covers for telephone and electrical ducts and similar items in installation
areas. Maintain overall continuity of color and pattern between pieces of flooring installed on
covers and adjoining flooring. Tightly adhere flooring edges to substrates that abut covers and
to cover perimeters.
F. Adhere flooring to substrates using a full spread of adhesive applied to substrate to produce a
completed installation without open cracks, voids, raising and puckering at joints, telegraphing
of adhesive spreader marks, and other surface imperfections.
G. Heat-Welded Seams: For seamless installation, comply with ASTM F1516. Rout joints and heat
weld with welding bead to fuse sections permanently into a seamless flooring installation.
Prepare, weld, and finish seams to produce surfaces flush with adjoining flooring surfaces.
3.3 LINOLEUM SHEET FLOORING INSTALLATION
A. Unroll linoleum sheet flooring and allow it to stabilize before cutting and fitting.
B. Lay out linoleum sheet flooring as follows:
1. Maintain uniformity of flooring direction.
2. Minimize number of seams; place seams in inconspicuous and low-traffic areas, at least 6
inches (152 mm) away from parallel joints in flooring substrates.
3. Match edges of flooring for color shading at seams.
4. Avoid cross seams.
5. Eliminate deformations that result from hanging method used during drying process
(stove bar marks).
