surestep® multi-layered heterogeneous vinyl flooring must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Sub-floors must be level, smooth, hard, clean and dry before laying commences.
- Uneven, solid or suspended timber floors may need additional preparation to meet the required standard.
- Where there is direct to-earth concrete it is essential that an effective damp-proof membrane be incorporated.
- Prior to installation, surestep® must be allowed to relax for 24 hours at a uniform room temperature of between 18°C and 27°C. All sub-floors must be tested for acceptable moisture content in accordance with SANS 10070 prior to the commencement of installation. Note that excessive moisture in the sub-floor will react adversely with the adhesive during the curing period. The recommended adhesive is FloorworX No. 62 acrylic.
