Prepare concrete substrates in accordance with ASTM F710. VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare System NEW LVT, BASE & ACCESSORIES Page 10 of 12 INSTALLATION: Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions for application and installation unless specified otherwise. Mix tile from at least two containers. An apparent line either of shades or pattern variance is not acceptable. Tile Layout: If layout is not shown on construction documents, lay tile symmetrically about center of room or space with joints aligned. Vary edge width as necessary to maintain full size tiles in the field, no edge tile to be less than 1/2 the field tile size, except where irregular shaped rooms make it impossible. Place tile pattern in the same direction; do not alternate tiles unless specifically indicated in the construction documents to the contrary. Match tile installation to approved mockup. Application: Adhere floor tile to flooring substrates using a full spread of adhesive applied to substrate to produce a completed installation without open cracks, voids, raising and puckering at joints, telegraphing of adhesive spreader marks, and other surface imperfections. Scribe, cut, and fit floor tiles to butt neatly and tightly to vertical surfaces and permanent fixtures including built-in furniture, cabinets, pipes, outlets, and door frames. Extend floor tiles into toe spaces, door reveals, closets, and similar openings. Extend floor tiles to center of door openings. Roll tile floor with a minimum 45 kg (100 pound) roller. Seal joints at pipes with sealants in accordance with Section 07 92 00, JOINT SEALANTS. Installation of Edge Strips: Locate edge strips under center line of doors unless otherwise shown on construction documents. Anchor metal edge strips with anchors and screws. Where tile edge is exposed, butt edge strip to touch along tile edge. Where thin set ceramic tile abuts resilient tile, set edge strip against floor file and against the ceramic tile edge. Installation of Contoured Resilient Wall Base: Location: Unless otherwise specified or shown, where base is scheduled, install base over toe space of base of casework, built-in furniture, islands, reception counters and where other permanent equipment occurs. VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare System NEW LVT, BASE & ACCESSORIES Page 12 of 12 Extend base scheduled for room into adjacent closet, alcoves, and around columns. Application: Apply adhesive uniformly with no bare spots. Set base with joints aligned and butted to touch for entire height. Before starting installation, layout base material to provide the minimum number of joints with no strip less than 600 mm (24 inches) length. Short pieces to save material will not be permitted. Locate joints as remote from corners as the material lengths or the wall configuration will permit. Roll base for complete adhesion. CLEANING AND PROTECTION: LVT: Clean adhesive marks on exposed surfaces during the application of resilient materials before the adhesive sets. Exposed adhesive is not acceptable. Keep traffic off resilient material for a minimum 72 hours after installation. Clean flooring as recommended in accordance with manufacturer s printed maintenance instructions and within the recommended time frame. Apply the recommended number of coats and type of sealant in accordance with manufacturer s written instructions. When construction traffic occurs over floor, cover resilient materials with reinforced kraft paper properly secured and maintained until removal is directed by Interior Designer. At entrances and where wheeled vehicles or carts are used, cover floor with plywood, hardboard, or particle board over paper, secured and maintained until removal is directed by Interior Designer. When protective materials are removed and immediately prior to acceptance, replace damaged floor and mouldings, re-clean resilient materials. CONTOURED RESILIENT WALL BASE: Clean all exposed surfaces of base and adjoining areas of adhesive spatter before it sets. Keep traffic off resilient material for at least 72 hours after installation. Clean and polish materials in the following order: After two weeks, scrub resilient base materials with a minimum amount of water and a mild detergent. Leave surfaces clean and free of detergent residue. Polish resilient base to a gloss finish. Where protective materials are removed and immediately prior to acceptance, replace damaged materials and re-clean resilient materials. Damaged materials are defined as having cuts, gouges, scrapes or tears and not fully adhered LOCATION: Unless otherwise indicated in construction documents, install flooring, under areas where casework, built-in furniture and other equipment occur. Extend flooring for room into adjacent closets and alcoves. LOCATION:
