2 • RESILIENT FLOORING INSTALLATION METHODS
.01 There are a variety of methods used to install resilient flooring. Contact the flooring manufacturer / supplier for particular methods and products. Some of these include:
|
.02 Products recommended for the modified loose lay and/or or the loose-lay installation methods can be installed on a manufacturer's approved particleboard subfloor.
.03 Lightweight and/or cellular concrete and gypsum-based topping: These materials are not suitable for the application of any resilient flooring unless otherwise pre-approved by the flooring manufacturer. Such subfloors must be topped with a minimum of 25 mm (1") of standard concrete or with an industry approved Portland cement base underlayment mixed and applied as directed by the product manufacturer.
.03 Lightweight and/or cellular concrete and gypsum-based topping: These materials are not suitable for the application of any resilient flooring unless otherwise pre-approved by the flooring manufacturer. Such subfloors must be topped with a minimum of 25 mm (1") of standard concrete or with an industry approved Portland cement base underlayment mixed and applied as directed by the product manufacturer.
.04 Wood panels over concrete: The installation of resilient flooring over this assembly is not recommended.
3 • INSTALLATION OF RESILIENT SHEET FLOORING
.01 General Requirements:
|
.02 Resilient Sheet Flooring Installation
|
Note: Lap back or tube refers to the process of "folding back half the flooring that has been dry laid to apply adhesive to the substrate. Care must be taken to avoid sharp kinks or creases in the material. An additional length allowance may be necessary during this process to accommodate for the compaction of flooring while it has been rolled back. Refer to manufacturers specific installation instructions.
|
4 • RESILIENT FLOOR SEAMS
.01 Seaming Methods: Finish seams in accordance with Industry Standards and in compliance with the floor covering manufacturer's recommendations.
|
.02 Basic Seam Finishing Methods:
|
5 • FLASH-COVED FLOORING INSTALLATIONS
.01 Flash Coving Sheet Goods:
|
.02 Flash-Coving Ridged Flooring Lines: (e.g. Inlaid Vinyl or Linoleum Flooring basic installation recommendations).
|
.03 Flash-Coved Flexible PVC Flooring: (basic installation recommendations)
|
.04 External and Internal Corner Installations:
|
.05 Flash Cove Corner - Installation review standards
.06 Welds - Installation review standards
|
.07 Drains and Cleanouts - Floor covering Installation review standards
|
6 • INSTALLATION OF RESILIENT FLOOR TILE
.01 General Requirements:
|
.02 Resilient Tile Installation:
|
.03 Installation Adjustments When Installing Vinyl / Rubber Tiles:
|
.04 Installation of Luxury Vinyl Tile or Plank (LVT/P) Flooring
Important note: Due to the large variety of LVT/P products available and the variety of installation requirements, always refer directly to manufacturers installation guidelines for the chosen product.
|
.1 Glue Down Installation (LVT/P)
|
|
.2 Click together (floating) Installation (LVT/P)
|
|
.3 Loose Lay (floating) Installation (LVT/P)
|
NOTE: For large rooms or floor plans with long runs (width or length of flooring product), expansion joints must be installed in accordance with manufacturers installation instructions. Expansion joints shall be installed at doorways between separate rooms where required by manufacturers installation instructions. |
.4 Installation of floating, Rigid Core Vinyl Plank (SPC)
|
1. General Conditions
|
|
2. Concrete Subfloors
|
|
3. Wooden Subfloors
|
|
4. Installation over existing floor coverings
|
|
.4 Installation of LVT/P over in-floor Radiant Heat systems
|
|
In all cases, DO NOT proceed with installation until all unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. Notify the Contractor in writing of all defects likely to impair finished work. Start of work implies acceptance of surfaces and conditions.
|
7 • INSTALLATION OF MOULDED (TEXTURED) RUBBER TILE / SLABS
.01 Install modules with joints straight in a true plane, butted with moderate contact and symmetrical with, and parallel to the axis of the room.
.02 Use only adhesives specified and approved by the particular manufacturer. Apply adhesives with suitable notched trowel to obtain recommended coverage. Clean any excess adhesive immediately. .03 Patterns and contours of modules shall match and fit accurately to create uniform effects. .04 Scribe and fit neatly where no base is specified. .05 Roll floor as each section is installed using a clean roller weighing at least 45.3kg (100 lbs.). .06 When using a two-component adhesive, follow manufacturers mixing and application instructions. Do not pressure fit tile joints and dry-fit fills along vertical surfaces before applying adhesive. Re-roll flooring and if necessary place weighs until a complete bond has been achieved. Maintain recommended temperature. .07 In all instances, follow manufacturer's installation recommendations. |
8 • INSTALLATION OF RUBBER RUNNER MATERIALS
.01 Scribe and fit materials accurately to abutting surfaces. Joining lengths must be neatly fitted and butted.
.02 Surface contours shall match and fit accurately where separate pieces are joined. .03 Securely bond skirting to substrate. To ensure uniform adhesion, roll with clean roller. .04 In all instances, follow manufacturer's installation recommendations. |
9 • INSTALLATION OF STATIC CONTROL AND TILE AND SHEET FLOORING
.01 Install static control tile and sheet floor covering in areas specified in strict compliance with manufacturer's recommendations, including all other items required for a complete grounded installation conforming to the requirements of CAN/CGSB-81-GP-1M, ASTM F150, and all other applicable regulations.
.02 Do not apply a floor finish to the flooring or to any adjacent area within 1525 mm (60"). .03 Provision of building ground system and connection point for flooring shall be provided by a certified electrician. It is the responsibility of the static flooring installer to connect flooring to building ground system and that grounding method employed meets the applicable code requirements. |
10 • INSTALLATION OF SLIP RESISTANT TILE AND SHEET FLOORING
|
11 • INSTALLATION OF SPORTS FLOORING
|
12 • INSTALLATION OF STAIR FINISHES
|
12a • TACTILE STRIPS
Tactile strips are installed as a safety measure at the base or top of stair ways. There are different strips available to address this safety issue:
|
|
13 • INSTALLATION OF FEATURE STRIPS AND INSERTS
|
14 • INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
|
15 • INSTALLATION OF BASES
|
16 • CONSTRUCTION JOINTS
Construction joints represent stop and start points in the concrete pouring process. Flooring cover plates are required to finish flooring over sections of concrete that can move independently of one another. There are a number of terms used to describe different types of joints in concrete: Isolation, expansion, construction and control.
