3. INTRODUCTION_  Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet  Flotex consits of a solid vinyl reinforced base layer into which a densely flocked surface of nylon 6.6. fibres are firmly anchored  Flotex is extremely dimensionally stable and has the optics of a textile floor covering, whilst being as functional and durable (as well as easy to clean) as any resilient floor covering. Flotex is available in both sheet and tile format  Flotex is a choice, not a compromise  The anti-microbial sanitized® treatment on Flotex ensures consistent protection against bacteria without degeneration through cleaning or vacuuming  It also suppresses the growth of dust mite populations therefore Flotex has a positive impact on the lives of allergy sufferers even more as daily vacuuming cleans away twice as many allergens compared to conventional carpets.

8. WARRANTY_ FloorworX offers a 10 year limited warranty, subject to our terms and conditions, against defective material provided that it is installed and maintained in accordance with our recommendations Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet

9. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS_  Flotex 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 Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet

10. 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 Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet

11. CLIMATIZATION_ Flotex must be allowed to relax for 24 hours in a uniform room temperature between 18°C and 27°C prior to installation ADHESIVE_  The recommended adhesive for Flotex is FloorworX No. 62 acrylic adhesive  Adhesive to be spread using a trowel fitted with an A2 notched blade at a rate of between 5.5m2 and 6.5m2 per litre POST INSTALLATION_  It is essential that during the course of installation the material be rolled in both directions with an articulated 68kg three section metal floor roller Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet

12. 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 Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet

13. 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 Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet

14. MAINTENANCE_INITIAL CLEAN  Vacuum the floor using an upright vacuum cleaner fitted with a powered brush  Remove stains or spills using clean warm water, in conjunction with a diluted neutral carpet detergent if required, working from the outside of the stain or spill inwards  When a detergent is used, ensure that the area is rinsed thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual detergent  Remove excess water using a wet/dry vacuum  Allow the floor to dry before permitting foot traffic Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet

15. MAINTENANCE_REGULAR CLEANING  Vacuum the floor daily using an upright vacuum cleaner fitted with a powered brush  Wet clean using a hot water/spray extraction carpet cleaning machine  Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual detergent  Remove excess water using a wet/dry vacuum  Allow the floor to dry before permitting foot traffic  Remove spills and stains as soon as they occur Flotex Flocked Flooring Flotex Flocked Flooring is a completely unique textile flooring that combines the hard wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet
