SUGGESTED SPECIFICATION_SHEETING

Supply and fix 2.0mm thick x 2.0m wide Marmoleum Real linoleum sheeting or 2.5mm thick x 2.0m wide Marmoleum Real/Fresco/Vivace/Concrete/Striato/Walton Uni linoleum sheeting with Topshield 2 surface treatment, manufactured in accordance with EN 548 and laid in FloorworX No. 65 acrylic adhesive which has been spread using a trowel fitted with an B1 notched blade at a rate of between 3.2m² and 4.0m² per litre on a previously prepared Class 1 sub-floor in accordance with SANS 10070, using FloorworX Self Leveller when required, including all cutting and waste.

The sheeting must be rolled in both directions with an articulated 68kg three-sectional roller immediately after it has been laid into the adhesive

Joins must be butted, grooved and heat welded using the manufacturer’s welding rod, ensuring that the welding rod bonds to more than 70% of the sheet thickness

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS_

Marmoleum 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

CLIMATIZATION_

Marmoleum 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 Marmoleum is FloorworX No. 65 acrylic adhesive

Adhesive to be spread using a trowel fitted with an B1 notched blade at a rate of between 3.2m² and 4.0m² 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

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

MAINTENANCE_INITIAL CLEAN

Dust mop or vacuum the floor to remove loose soil and dust.

Scrub the floor using a solution of FloorworX Maintain diluted 1:10 with clean

water, with a rotary machine fitted with a blue pad

Remove the residue immediately after scrubbing using a wet/dry vacuum.

Rinse with clean water using a mop and allow the floor to dry.

Dry buff the floor using a rotary or high speed machine fitted with a white pad.

For higher traffic areas, apply FloorworX Spray Buff in a fine stream or mist onto the floor in front of a rotary machine fitted with a red pad and work in until dry

FloorworX Spray Buff applied in this manner at the rate of 600m2 per litre assists in maintaining a smooth surface and constant level of gloss.

MAINTENANCE_REGULAR CLEANING

Dust mop or vacuum on a daily basis to remove dust and loose dirt

Treat spills, spots and stains immediately. Spot clean by hand with a red or white pad and a diluted solution of FloorworX Maintain, working from the outside of the mark to its centre

Dry buff or spray buff periodically, as described in 4.1 Initial Clean above.

The frequency of dry buffing or spray buffing is dependent on the amount of foot traffic and the effectiveness of the daily cleaning regime
