INSTALLATION  The noraplan® sheeting collection should be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations  Sub-floors must be smooth, hard, clean, and dry before laying commences  Uneven, solid or suspended timber floors may need preparation to meet the required standard  In case of direct to earth concrete, it is essential that a damp proof membrane is incorporated  noraplan® must be allowed to relax for 24 hours in a uniform room temperature between 18°C and 27°C  All sub-floors must be tested for moisture content prior to installation  Recommended adhesive is FloorworX No. 71 Contact

 Supply and fix 2.0mm thick x 1.22m wide noraplan® sentica Article1700 rubber sheeting, manufactured in accordance with EN and adhered with FloorworX No.71 contact adhesive applied to both the sheeting and the previously prepared Class 1 sub-floor in accordance with SANS (making use of FloorworX Self Leveller when required) using a brush or paint roller at the rate of approximately 3.5m2 per litre per single application, including all cutting and waste  The sheeting must be rolled in both directions with an articulated 68kg three-sectional roller immediately after it has been laid into the adhesive. Joins must be butted, grooved and heat welded using the manufacturer’s welding rod, ensuring that the welding rod bonds to more than 70% of the sheet thickness. SUGGESTED SPECIFICATION

 FloorworX offers a 5 year limited warranty, subject to our terms and conditions, against defective material provided that it is installed and maintained in accordance with our recommendations WARRANTY

 Approximately 80% of the dirt and soiling that has to be cleaned off a floor has been trafficked in from outside the building  More than 90% of that soiling can be avoided by the use of an effective entrance matting system.  When less dirt is trafficked through the entrance there will be a reduction in maintenance requirements  Regular cleaning is more cost-effective and hygienic than occasional heavy-duty cleaning  Wipe up any grease and oil spills immediately and treat stains as soon as they are observed  Black rubber wheels and rubber furniture feet can discolour the floorcovering. Hard plastic is preferred.  Always follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions regarding the use of cleaning chemicals. MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE_

 Floor maintenance begins immediately after the completion of installation  The initial step is to remove any loose dirt or debris using a dry mop, broom or vacuum  Sand, construction debris and sharp-edged objects may result in irreparable damage being inflicted to the new floor  Remove any visible adhesive residue using a damp cloth. Once the adhesive has cured it will be difficult to remove  If other trades are working in the building after the installation of the flooring, the floor must be protected from subsequent damage by the use of thick paper, cardboard or hard board  No wet maintenance must take place until 72 hours (3 days) have elapsed from the time of installation (this is to ensure that the adhesive has sufficient time to cure properly and develop full bond strength) MAINTENANCE POST-INSTALLATION SITE CLEAN_

 All Nora rubber flooring products have a waxy residue from the manufacturing process that must be removed as part of the initial maintenance procedure before the floor is used  Nora floor coverings have a natural sheen and therefore do not require any artificial coating MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION_
