INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS_ EarthWerks® Highlander LVPs should be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations Training Centre is available for installation training to installers SUB-FLOOR_ Sub-floors must be smooth, hard, clean, and dry before laying commences The final appearance and durability of any resilient flooring installation depends largely on the condition of the surface upon which it is laid A good sub-floor is vital in achieving a satisfactory adhesive bond and long-term durability Uneven, solid or suspended timber floors may need preparation to meet the required standard

SUB-FLOOR_ All sub-floors must be tested for moisture content prior to installation To prevent problems associated with rising damp - it is essential that a damp-proof membrane be incorporated beneath the sub-floor The South African Standard Building Regulations require that all sub-floors in contact with the ground are so constructed as to be damp-proof Water is an integral part of the construction of a sub-floor - the amount of water used depends on the type of sub-floor, the required structural strength and the extent of curing It is impossible to state a time period after which a sub-floor may be considered dry enough upon which to lay flooring - factors such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, thickness of the slab, type of finish required and methods used to cure the concrete, will affect this period There are various methods of testing the moisture content within the sub-floor, which includes the use of a Hygrometer – the most practical and accurate instrument

MAINTENANCE_PREVENTIVE CARE 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_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
