1. SARLON TRAFIC WOOD
ACOUSTIC SHEETING

2. INTRODUCTION Acoustic floors are best way to reduce noise in buildings
The thickness of the concrete slab determines the minimum acoustic rating necessary for the floor covering to achieve the desired acoustic performance
Residual indentation is a vital consideration when selecting an acoustic product
It is important to find the right balance for your application between acoustic performance and indentation resistance
Sarlon Trafic is an acoustic vinyl floor covering available in 2m wide lengths
Manufactured using 100% green electricity, Sarlon Trafic meets the class T requirement of EN for abrasion resistance
Sarlon Trafic is 19dB acoustic-performance certified to EN ISO and offers an indentation resistance of 0.11mm

5. INSTALLATION
Sarlon Trafic 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
Sarlon Trafic 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
Note that moisture in the sub-floor will react adversely with the adhesive during the curing period
Recommended adhesive: FloorworX No. 62 acrylic adhesive.

6. SUGGESTED SPECIFICATION
Supply and fix 3.4mm thick x 2.0m wide Sarlon Trafic 19dB acoustic heterogeneous vinyl sheeting with OVERCLEAN XL surface treatment, manufactured in accordance with EN 651 and laid in FloorworX No. 62 acrylic adhesive which has been spread using a trowel fitted with an A2 notched blade at a rate of between 5.5m2 and 6.5m2 per litre on a previously prepared Class 1 sub-floor in accordance with SANS 10070, using FloorworX Self Leveller when required, 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

7. WARRANTY
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

8. MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE_
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.

9. POST-INSTALLATION SITE CLEAN_
MAINTENANCE
POST-INSTALLATION SITE CLEAN_
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)

10. MAINTENANCE INITIAL CLEAN_
Dust mop or vacuum the floor to remove loose soil and dust
Scrub the floor using a solution of FloorworX Maintain diluted 1:10 with clean water, with a rotary machine fitted with a blue pad
Remove the residue immediately after scrubbing using a wet/dry vacuum
Rinse with clean water using a flat mop and allow the floor to dry
Dry buff the floor using a rotary or high speed machine fitted with a white pad
For higher traffic areas, apply FloorworX Spray Buff in a fine stream or mist onto the floor in front of a rotary machine fitted with a red pad and work in until dry
FloorworX Spray Buff applied in this manner at the rate of 600m2 per litre assists in maintaining a smooth surface and constant level of gloss

11. MAINTENANCE REGULAR CLEANING_
Dust mop with flat mop or vacuum on a daily basis to remove dust and loose dirt
Treat spills, spots and stains immediately
Spot clean by hand with a red or white pad and a diluted solution of FloorworX Maintain, working from the outside of the mark to its centre
Dry buff or spray buff periodically, as described in Initial Clean Procedure
The frequency of dry buffing or spray buffing is dependent on the amount of foot traffic and the effectiveness of the daily cleaning regime

12. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE_
Scrub the floor using a solution of FloorworX Maintain diluted 1:10 with clean water, with a rotary machine fitted with a blue pad
Remove the residue immediately after scrubbing using a wet/dry vacuum
Rinse with clean water using a flat mop and allow the floor to dry
Dry buff the floor using a rotary or high speed machine fitted with a white pad
For higher traffic areas, apply FloorworX Spray Buff in a fine stream or mist onto the floor in front of a rotary machine fitted with a red pad and work in until dry
FloorworX Spray Buff applied in this manner at the rate of 600m2 per litre assists in maintaining a smooth surface and constant level of gloss
