INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

COLUMBIA

LUXURY VINYL

GENERAL INFORMATIONBelow are guidelines for installing Vinyl Flooring-Dry Back. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation of this product.

Thoroughly inspect all material. Installed flooring found to be defective will not be covered by warranty nor labor costs associated with removal and reinstallation.

All moisture tests must be performed and recorded prior to installation with results not to exceed the adhesive manufacturer’s specifications. A significant number of in-stallation failures in the market today are due to moisture related issues.

This product should be stored at the jobsite free from all the elements. This product should be acclimated to the conditioned temperature inside and must be kept at a minimum of 70° F before, during and after the installa-tion for at least 48 hours. The jobsite must be cleaned and prepared prior to starting the installation. All patch work and preparation to the subfloor must be done and allowed to dry prior to starting the installation.

Check cartons and confirm that the product is correct and has the same batch and lot number. If a different batch or lot number, to minimize shade variation mix product from several boxes. If the product looks incorrect stop the installation immediately and call your local retailer.

DO NOT: Install product with visible defect. This product is manufactured to high quality inspection standards but boxes can have occasional defective product contained inside. If you notice excessive defect stop the installation immediately and call your local retailer.

The manufacturer is not responsible for visually defective material installed.

PRE-INSTALLATION SUBFLOOR REQUIREMENTS

Proper subfloor preparation and suitable underlayment installation are essential for a trouble-free job. Uneven or rough subfloor surfaces will show through (or telegraph) to the surface of this product resulting in an unsightly sur-face and can make high spots more susceptible to exces-sive wear. Correct the subfloor imperfections before you begin installing this product.

WOOD SUBFLOORS

• Wood subfloors must be rigid and suspended at least 18” above the ground with adequate cross ventilation. Crawl space ground must be covered with suitable vapor barrier.

• Do not install this product over a wood subfloor which is directly on top of a concrete substrate or sleeper system.

• Wood subfloors must be covered with a minimum ¼” or heavier underlayment rated panel to ensure a successful installation.

• If an existing wood subfloor is damaged or not of under-layment grade, one must be put in place prior to beginning the installation of this product. The approved underlay-ment should provide a smooth and even surface for this product.

• Do not install this product over particle board, chip-board, construction grade plywood, lauan plywood, hard-board, or flakeboard.

• Wood underlayment panels should be dimensionally stable. Wood underlayment panels should be smooth and fully sanded so the graining or texturing will not show through. Wood underlayment panels should be resistant to both static and impact indentation. Wood underlayment panels should be free from any surface components that may cause staining such as plastic fillers, marking inks, sealers, etc.

• Wood underlayment panels should be uniform density, porosity and thickness.

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION. IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID WARRANTY.

Page 1

Revised 12/11/2015

• Wood underlayment panels must have a written warranty for suitability and performance from the panel manufacturer or have a history of proven performance.

• Underlayment panels should be installed with the face grain running across the joists. Panels should be lightly butted against each other, not forced tight. End joints of the panels should be offset at least 16”. Start the installation in one corner and work diagonally across the floor.

• Use only non-staining fasteners. Do not use common steel, cement coated or some nails that are resin/rosin coated. It is not recommended to glue and screw down underlayment panels as some solvent based adhesives are known to stain vinyl flooring coverings.

• Fasteners should be staggered and no more than 4” apart around the perimeter and no more than 3/8” from the edges (6” apart across the middle of the panel). Fasteners must set flush or slightly below the surface of the underlayment. Any unevenness must be sanded level.

• Gaps, hammer indentations, and all other surface irregu-larities must be patched with a non-shrinking, water resis-tant Portland cementitious based patching underlayment compound. Do not use gypsum-based patches & leveling compounds.

CONCRETE SUBFLOORS

• Concrete subfloors must be dry, smooth and free from dust, dirt, solvent, paint, wax, grease, oil, asphalt sealing compounds and other extraneous materials. The surface must be hard and dense and free from powder of flaking.

• New concrete slabs must be allowed to dry and complete-ly prior to beginning the installation of this product, which take at least 6 weeks. Curing agents, surface hardeners and other additives may cause adhesive bond failure. All con-crete subfloors must be checked for moisture and alkalinity before installing this product.

• Do not install over any subfloor with moisture emissions higher than 5 pounds per 1000 square foot per 24 hours per a calcium chloride test.

• As in wood subfloor systems, all holes, grooves, expan-sion joints, and other depressions must be filled with a latex underlayment compound and toweled smooth and feathered even with the surrounding surface.

• Concrete floors with a radiant heating system are satisfac-tory, provided the temperature of the floor does not exceed 80° F at any point. The heating system should be turned on to eliminate residual moisture.

EXISTING RESILIENT FLOOR COVERING

NOTE: This product is not approved over existing resilient floor covering.

WARNING: Do not sand, dry scrape, bead blast or me-chanically pulverize existing resilient flooring, backing or lining felt. These products may contain asbestos fibers that are not readily identifiable. Using the above non-recom-mended procedures on asbestos containing material can create asbestos dust. The inhalation of asbestos dust may cause cancer or other serious bodily harm.

The final responsibility lies with the installer for approving the condition of the subfloor and its impact on the final look of this product.

INSTALLATION OVER RADIANT HEATWe warrant to you (the original purchaser) that this luxury vinyl flooring may be installed over water-based radiant- heated subfloors, provided the surface temperature of the system does not exceed 81° F.

IMPORTANT: Due to the speed of sudden temperature changes, which has potential to negatively affect vinyl flooring construction, it is not recommended to install over electrical radiant heating systems. This will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Only radiant heating sys-tems using water are acceptable.

Before installing over newly constructed radiant heat sys-tems, operate the system at maximum capacity to force any residual moisture from the cementitious topping of the radi-ant heat system. Then set the thermostat to a comfortable room temperature for the installation. It is recommended that the radiant heat be applied in a gradual manner after installing the luxury vinyl flooring.

Refer to the radiant heat system’s manufacturer recommen-dations for additional guidance.

GLUE-DOWN INSTALLATION1. Select proper adhesive according to specific types of subfloor and planks. With the approved/proper adhesive apply a 1/16” wide, 1/16” deep, 1/16” apart square notched trowel.

2. Snap a chalk line to divide the room into sections. Begin applying adhesive at an intersection and spread the appro-priate amount.

Recommended Adhesive: WF Taylor 2098 (Residential & Multi-Family) WF Taylor 2091 (Commercial)

WET SET (ALL PLANKS)

1. Spread the adhesive in a thin even coat. Each section must be no larger than at area that can easily be covered with flooring is approximately 20 minutes under normal conditions (70° F and 40% humidity). Allow a few minutes of open time for the adhesive to tack up, then install the planks immediately while adhesive is still wet, before it

skins over or dries.

2. Position the plank firmly in adhesive without sliding and periodically check to ensure at least 90% of the adhesive pattern has transferred to the back of the tile.

3. Use a large tile cutter or the score and snap technique for fitting planks or tiles around the border.

DRY SET (ALL TILES)

1. Spread the adhesive in a thin even coat. Allow adhesive to dry until it changes color and will not transfer to finger when touched. Dry adhesive is extremely tacky.

2. Lay tile into dry adhesive positioning carefully because it will be difficult to slide the tile.

3. Roll each section immediately upon completing with a 100 pound, three section roller. Re-roll the entire floor after one or two hours then again after the installation in both directions.

4. Remove any excess adhesive immediately with soapy water. Dried adhesive is difficult to remove. Cover all exposed edges.

5. Install wood or vinyl shoe/cove moldings along the walls, cabinet toe kicks, etc.

6. Install transitions moldings and caulk along tubs, toilets, etc. Dried adhesive should be removed with an approved non-flammable cleaner or solvent.

7. Do not wash or treat the floor for a minimum of 48 hours after installation. After 48 hours, damp mop to remove residual surface dirt.

INITIAL CARE AFTER INSTALLATION1. Immediately after installation, the floor should be dry vacuumed to remove all dust and debris.

2. Then wipe with a vinyl flooring cleaner (any generic brand cleaner specifically made for cleaning vinyl flooring) using a sponge mop or similar cloth-applicator mops. Be sure to follow the vinyl cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.

3. After 5-10 minutes, all residue of the cleaning agent should be removed and the floor should be rinsed with a damp mop.

4. Your floor should then be allowed to dry for at least 30 minutes before walking on it.

CARE AND MAINTENANCEPREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

• Clean protective mats in front of any doors leading to the outside. This helps limit the amount of sand and grit from getting on to your vinyl floors. Gritty sand is any floor

coverings worst enemy. Also, if you installed the planks in your kitchen, you should place a throw rug is front of the sink area to catch spills and splashes. If the rug gets soak it should be removed and allowed to dry.

• Install proper floor protectors of furniture legs used on vinyl flooring. Protectors will allow chairs to move easily over the floor without scuffing or scratching. Clean the pro-tectors on a regular basis to remove any grit that may have become embedded.

• To keep you floor looking its best, dust mop or vacuum your floor frequently. Do not use household dust treatment chemicals of any kind as this may cause the floor to become slick or dull the finish. Simply sweep the floor as needed.

• Do not pour pails of water on your floor to clean or use excessive water. This can damage your subfloor.

• Do not allow pets with untrimmed nails to walk on the vinyl floor. It could cause severe scratching to the surface.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

• Clean up food spills as quickly as possible.

• Avoid acidic or abrasive all-purpose cleaners, powdered cleaners, oil soaps, dish washing detergents, and dusting products.

• Shoe marks and scuffs can be removed by spot cleaning with a non-abrasive all purpose cleaner and a non-abrasive scrubbing pad.

• Regular household dirt can be cleaned by damp cleaning with warm soapy water.

• Always sweep and vacuum your vinyl floor before clean-ing.

• If accidental deep scratches occur then it might be neces-sary to replace individual planks. Always retain some extra product for this instance.

• To replace: score the plank diagonally with a utility knife and make sure not to damage adjacent planks. Point a hair dryer about 4 inches from the center of the tile for about 45 seconds or until it is hot to the touch. Pry up the plank start-ing from the middle. More heat may be necessary to work the piece. Smoothen the subfloor surface (use floor patching or leveling compound sparingly) and reapply adhesive.

• Avoid moving heavy furniture on to a newly installed floor for at least 24 hours.

• Avoid excessive heat and light exposure to the flooring which will cause degradation of the product.
