	PART 3	EXECUTION
	3.1	EXAMINATION
		A.	Inspect floor to be installed immediately upon arriving at job site; perform a moisture test.
		B.	Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
		C.	If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
		D.	The installation of the resilient flooring shall not begin until the work of all other trades has been completed, particularly wet and overhead trades.
		E.	Areas to receive flooring shall be adequately lighted during all phases of the installation process.
	3.2	PREPARATION
		A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
		B.	Using Portland based cementitious base leveler fill and cover all seams, nail heads, voids, cracks, and expansion joints. Achieve smooth, even, firmly attached substrate for best finish results. Gypsum based underlayment not acceptable with Karndean Luxury Vinyl Flooring unless it is first properly prepared.
			1.	Encapsulate the gypsum with a premium latex primer/sealer.
			2.	Float with a Portland cement compound using a latex additive (as recommended by the manufacturer) instead of water.
			3.	Once substrate levelness is achieved continue with the next step.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if substrate is within manufacturer's tolerances for moisture and sealer is not required.
		C.	Apply concrete floor sealer to substrate in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
		D.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if concrete substrates not required.
		E.	Concrete Substrates: The Contractor shall verify to the Owner and installer a minimum of 30 days prior to the scheduled resilient flooring installation the following substrate conditions. All substrate testing shall be documented and submitted to the Architect and Owner before commencement of the flooring installation.
			1.	Verify that substrates are dry, free of debris, and that all curing compounds, sealers, and hardeners have properly cured.
			2.	Remove substrate coatings and other substances that are incompatible with adhesives and that contain soap, wax, oil, or silicone, using mechanical methods recommended by manufacturer. Do not use solvents.
			3.	Alkalinity and Adhesion Testing: Perform tests recommended by manufacturer. Proceed with installation only after substrates pass testing.
			4.	Moisture Testing: Perform tests recommended by manufacturer and as follows. Proceed with installation only after substrates pass testing.
	3.3	INSTALLING RESILIENT TILES AND PLANKS
		A.	General:
			1.	Karndean does not mandate any one brand of resilient flooring underlayment. Permanent HVAC system shall be turned on and set to a minimum of 65 degrees F (20 degrees C) for a minimum of 48 hours prior to, during and 48 hours after installation. After the installations, the maximum temperature should not exceed 125 degrees F (37 degrees C).
			2.	All products must be allowed to acclimate at least 24 to 48 hours before installation. This means product must be placed in the same room as the install that is taking place and removed from its factory packaging.
			3.	Material shall be visually inspected prior to installation.
			4.	Ensure that all recommendations for sub-floor and jobsite conditions are met prior to beginning the installation. Once the installation is started, Contractor and installer have accepted those conditions.
			5.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's installation instructions for each product type and application specified.
		B.	Layout and Installation:
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete the following paragraph if not specifying plank shaped simulated wood resilient tile flooring.
			1.	In order to achieve a random natural wood look, take planks and cut nominal lengths to be used on the first course; example: 10 inches (254 mm), 40 inches (1016 mm), 15 inches (381 mm), 25 inches (635 mm), 8 inches (203 mm). At the end of the first course, all cut planks remaining should be used on the next course. Position planks so the end seams are no closer than the width of the plank being installed. Maintain this approach to staggering the planks throughout the entire installation.
			2.	Center tiles or planks in rooms and hallways so borders are not less than half a tile or plank when possible.
			3.	Cut edges shall always be installed against a wall.
			4.	Install using tile and plank installation techniques recommended by manufacturer.
			5.	Install tiles, planks, borders and feature strips in locations and configurations indicated on the Drawings.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** A moisture test is vital if product is being installed below grade over newly poured concrete. Karndean Loose Lay product can be installed in the interior of any building without adhesive so long as the sub floor has been prepared to the standard as stated in Subfloor Preparation. When installing Karndean Loose Lay, flooring should be net fit to walls and other permanent vertical structures. There is no need to allow gaps around the vertical structures or at transition areas for expansion and contraction. In high traffic transition areas please follow the instructions below as they relate to extreme conditions
		C.	Adhesive Application:
			1.	Any spread glue has to be covered with material and rolled within the recommended time frame described on the adhesive container.
			2.	If troweled adhesive skims over, scrape up and reapply.
			3.	Install in accordance with adhesive manufacturer's recommendations.
			4.	Refer to manufacturer's literature for selection criteria for trowel size, type.
			5.	Using proper trowel size, apply adhesive in accordance with label on adhesive.
			6.	Spread a 4 inch (100 mm) wide band of adhesive around the perimeter of the area designated as an extreme condition area.
			7.	An additional 4 inch (100 mm) band should be spread at approximately 10 foot (3 m) intervals.
			8.	For transitional areas, from loose lay to another floor covering of a different height, a 4 inch (100 mm) band of adhesive should be spread across the length of the transition.
	3.4	CLEANING
		A.	Wipe off any adhesive on floor as installation proceeds. Wait 48 hours before applying the cleaning and maintenance products.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete the following paragraph if not specifying plank shaped simulated wood resilient tile flooring.
		B.	Prior to installation of permanent fixtures or furniture, remove all dirt, debris, or residual adhesive and clean the floor. If desired, a protective coating may be applied at this time. Specific products and instructions are available from the manufacturer.
	3.5	PROTECTION
		A.	Protect installed products until completion of project.
		B.	Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
	3.6	MAINTENANCE
		A.	Comply with manufacturers instructions for proper cleaning and maintenance of the products.
