Maintenance Options to Keep Your New Floor Looking Newer LongerWhile color and texture prudence remain important

when choosing your Natural Creations® Luxury Flooring,

you don’t have to compromise on the look you want for

the maintenance you need. Natural Creations is a low-

cost maintenance solution that may also be polished.

No Polish/No BuffWith Diamond10™ Technology, Natural Creations flooring

has a true no-polish option with dirt-, scratch- and

stain-resistant and scuff qualities that make it easier

and less costly to maintain the floor.

PolishStrip once with a stripper containing sodium hydroxide

(NaOH) at a concentration of 1% or greater, such as

Spartan® Square One®, and a dilution of no more than

1:4. This will activate the surface to enable polish wet

out and adhesion, while maintaining the Diamond10™

Technology scratch, stain and scuff properties beneath

the polished surface. As with all polished floors, floor

performance equals the performance of the polish.

Disinfectant/Wet OutStrip once with a stripper containing sodium hydroxide

(NaOH) at a concentration of 1% or greater, such as

Spartan® Square One®, and a dilution of no more than

1:4. This will activate the surface to enable disinfectant

wet out, while maintaining the Diamond10™ Technology

scratch, stain and scuff properties.

Let the Buyer Have FaithIn 1864, Thomas Armstrong, our founder, bucked the common practice of “Let the buyer beware” and boldly declared

“Let the buyer have faith.” He was the first manufacturer to brand his corks as a symbol of quality. Armstrong Flooring

continues to uphold our reputation for stringent quality control standards and standing behind our products.

Natural Creations® Luxury Flooring is made in our Lancaster, Pennsylvania manufacturing plant. Unlike any production

line in the industry, the proprietary Thomas Armstrong line produces floors to the Armstrong Flooring Diamond Standard

of Quality. To our customers, this means Natural Creations Luxury Flooring will maintain its visual and structural integrity

for years to come.

Closing the Loop on SustainabilityNatural Creations® Luxury Flooring is made from the highest quality materials and contains no Ortho-Phthalates, heavy metals, fly ash, flame

retardants or antimicrobial pesticides. Commercial products from Armstrong Flooring are low emitting and compliant with the California

Department of Public Health (CDPH V1.1) Standard Method – the most stringent in North America.

Natural Creations Luxury Flooring is beautiful, practical and sustainable. It is FloorScore® certified with low VOC emissions, contributing to the

quality of built environments. Light reflective color options can optimize lighting design and reduce a facility’s overall energy consumption, and the

Diamond10™ Technology supports low maintenance options, thereby reducing the use of natural resources and chemical cleaners.

While long life is key to sustainability, even the most durable floor gets replaced eventually. When Natural Creations Luxury Floors have ended

their useful life, they begin a new life through the On&On™ Floor Recycling Program. This program provides an end-of-life alternative that helps to

conserve and protect natural resources, reducing the environmental footprint of our products. We recycle our products, as well as other qualifying

manufacturers’ products, for use in creating new High Recycled Content (HRC) flooring, diverting tons of material from landfills each year.

socially and environmentally responsible, including

Installation TipsDue to the rigid vinyl structure and scratch-resistant properties, we recommend using titanium blades to cut Natural Creations® Luxury Flooring

with Diamond10™ Technology.

• Titanium blades will last longer than traditional blades throughout the installation when cutting Natural Creations Luxury Flooring with

Diamond10 Technology.

• Heat the back of the tile with a heat gun or torch. It will make it easier to cut Natural Creations Luxury Flooring with Diamond10™ Technology.

• We recommend using a MagnaShear tile cutter which make it easier to cut Natural Creations Luxury Flooring.

IN S TA L L AT IO N Job Conditions Subfloors/underlayments shall be dry, clean and smooth. They shall be free of dust, solvents, varnish, paint, wax, oil, grease, residual adhesive, adhesive removers, permanent markers and other foreign materials that might affect the adhesion of resilient flooring or cause a discoloration of the flooring from below. Spray paints, permanent markers and other indelible ink markers must not be used to write on the back of the flooring material or used to mark the concrete slab as they could bleed through, telegraphing up to the surface and permanently staining the flooring material. If these contaminants are present on the substrate, they must be mechanically removed prior to the installation of the flooring material.

For more detailed requirements of concrete, wood and metal subfloors, as well as trowelable and wood underlayments, refer to the installation instructions on floorexpert.com.

Moisture testing must be performed on all concrete slabs regardless of their age or grade level, including areas where resilient flooring has already been installed. Moisture Vapor Emission Rate (MVER) using Calcium Chloride (ASTM F 1869) and/or percent internal relative humidity (ASTM F 2170) tests must be conducted in strict accordance with the most current edition of the ASTM test method. Following are the Armstrong maximum allowable moisture limits for the installation of LVT:

When using S-288 Adhesive, moisture test results shall not exceed a MVER of 5.0 lbs./1000 sq. ft./24 hours per ASTM F 1869 and/or 95% RH per ASTM F 2170.

When using S-543 High Moisture Adhesive or S-240 Epoxy Adhesive, moisture test results shall not exceed a MVER of 7.0 lbs./1000 sq. ft. /24 hours per ASTM F 1869 and/or 90% RH per ASTM F 2170.

When using Flip™ Spray Adhesive, moisture test results shall not exceed 93% RH per ASTM F 2170.

On installations where both the Moisture Vapor Emission Rate and percent internal relative humidity tests are conducted, results for both tests shall comply with the allowable limits listed above.

Before installation, concrete floors should also be tested for pH following procedures in ASTM F 710. When testing for pH, the allowable readings for the installation of Armstrong Luxury Flooring are 5 to 9 when using S-288 and/or S-240 and 5 to 11 when using S-543 or Flip® Spray Adhesive.

Bond Tests should also be conducted for compatibility with the substrate.

When using S-288, S-543 or Flip™ Spray Adhesive, the temperature shall be maintained at a minimum of 65° F (18° C) and a maximum of 100° F (38° C) for 48 hours prior to installation, during installation and 48 hours after completion. When using S-240 Epoxy Adhesive, the temperature shall be maintained at a minimum of 65° F (18° C) and a maximum of 85° F (29° C) for 48 hours prior to installation, during installation and 48 hours after completion. During the service life of the floor, the temperature should never rise above 100° F (38° C) or fall below 55° F (13° C). Condition all flooring materials and adhesives to room temperature for a minimum of 48 hours prior to starting the installation. Protect all materials from the direct flow of heat from hot-air registers, radiators, or other heating fixtures and appliances.

Procedure Natural Creations® must be installed full spread using Armstrong S-288 Adhesive, S-543 Adhesive or Flip™ Spray Adhesive. In areas with heavy concentrated static or dynamic loads, it may be necessary to install with S-240 Epoxy Adhesive. When installing Natural Creations in areas where it will be subjected to direct sunlight, topical moisture or temperature fluctuations, Armstrong S-240 Epoxy Adhesive must be used.

M A IN T EN A NCE Natural Creations® Luxury Flooring with Diamond10™ Technology is manufactured with a high performance, hydrophobic, urethane finish that provides outstanding scratch and scuff resistance, improved maintenance characteristics and maintenance options for the end-user. Where applicable, the hydrophobic properties require the one-time use of sodium hydroxide-containing floor strippers to promote wet out of disinfectant cleaners and to ensure wet out and adequate adhesion of field-applied acrylic floor polishes/finishes.

Initial Maintenance Immediately After Installation • Sweep, dust mop or vacuum the floor thoroughly to remove all loose

dust, dirt, grit and debris.• Remove any dried adhesive residue with a clean, white cloth

dampened with mineral spirits, carefully following warnings on the container.

• Damp mop the floor with a properly diluted neutral (pH 6 to 8) detergent solution such as Armstrong S-485 Commercial Floor Cleaner. Do not wet mop, wash or scrub the floor for at least five days after installation. This is to prevent excess moisture from interfering with the adhesive bond.

Before applying polish, it will be necessary to first scrub the floor with a properly diluted neutral cleaner using a floor machine fitted with an appropriate scrubbing brush (aggressiveness equivalent to 3M™ red pad).

Preparation for Commercial Use and On-going Maintenance For important and detailed maintenance information on polish application, the use of disinfectant cleaners and on-going maintenance recommendation, refer to the Natural Creations® with Diamond10™ Technology Maintenance Recommendations and Options, FP74409290, or contact Armstrong Flooring at 1 888 276 7876.
