The Work: Shall include, but shall not be limited to the following (not necessarily in the order indicated): Remove all old carpet, pad, moldings, cove base, associated hardware, and glue and dispose of demolished materials in a manner that complies with the local, State, and Federal laws and regulations. No carpet shall be placed into the trash containers on Cemetery grounds; all carpet shall be removed from the Cemetery grounds. Prepare floor in accordance with carpet manufacturer's recommended instructions. Do not install new carpet on surfaces that are unsuitable and will prevent a proper installation. Floors that are in poor condition and that will not yield a smooth carpeted finish shall be repaired. The floors shall be completely dry before installation of the carpet begins. The floor shall be dry, free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, paint, wax, or any debris that could affect adhesion of the carpet modules to the floor. Repair holes, cracks, depressions, or rough areas using material recommended by the carpet or adhesive manufacturer. CAUTION: Ecoworx ES is a peel-n-stick system. It is extremely important that the subfloor be completely free of dust or debris that could contaminate the applied adhesive. Shaw Industries recommends the complete coverage of a latex primer such as Shaw s 9050 to encapsulate any remaining dust prior to installing product. Failure to use a latex primer may result in installation failure. Do not use sweeping compounds as they may leave oily deposits. The floor must be level and smooth. Depressions and cracks must be filled with a liquid latex additive patching compound and all protrusions leveled.
