CARE GUIDE

Use doormats outside each entrance to your home or business to prevent dirt, sand, grit and other substances from being tracked onto your floor. Use non-staining mats on your floor. Do not put rubber-backed, latex-backed or coco fiber mats on your floor because they will stain or damage the surface Close your curtains or blinds where extreme sunlight hits the floor. A combination of heat and sunlight causes most home furnishings to fade or discolour.

Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors. Ideally, the protectors should be at least one inch in diameter, made of non-pigmented hard plastic, and rest flat on the floor. Non-staining felt protectors are also acceptable. Casters (type W), felt pads or floor protectors are recommended for all moveable furniture. Use protection mats under chairs with caster in order to avoid abrasion of the vinyl flooring. Make sure that any metal protectors are rust-proof.

If you need to move heavy furniture and/or appliances across the floor, always use strips of wood or hardboard runways to protect the floor. Always use runways even if you have an appliance dolly, or even if the heavy objects are equipped with wheels or rollers.

Sweep your flooring regularly with a damp cloth and only with water at least once a week.

Prevent stains by wiping up spills promptly.

Occasional mopping with Rinse-Free Cleaner is recommended when dirt builds up and sweeping alone is not sufficient. Follow strictly the guidelines given on the bottle. Do not use soap or detergent products as they will leave a dulling film.

All Luxury Vinyl Plank & Tile requires effective cleaning and maintenance to ensure durability, appearance and safety. How frequent the floor must be maintained depends largely on the amount and type of traffic and the amount and frequency of soiling. The type and color are important, too. For example, solid colored and smooth embossed floors will show scuffs, scratches, dirt and general wear more that multicolored or textured embossed patterns. Likewise, light colors will show marks more than darker colors. Although Primo Florz Products can make general recommendations, the local conditions will determine what specific maintenance is needed. It is the responsibility of the maintenance contractor to set up a maintenance program meeting the needs of the facility. Maintenance requirements for various installations such as an office suite verses a supermarket, restaurant dining area, large or small retail store, or residential applications may vary.

Whenever possible, get a Rise-Free care instruction from your flooring retailer or manufacturer. For stubborn stains, use denatured alcohol or stain remover made specifically for luxury vinyl. Gently rub at the stain until it is removed.

Don’t Use: Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products they may leave a dull film on your floor.

Do not use paste wax or solvent – based polishes.

Do not use beater bar when vacuuming because it can visibly damage the floor surface.

Do not use ammonia, acetone, lacquer thinner or highly abrasive scrubbing tools.

STAIN GUIDE

Stain Solver Tips: The overall stain resistance of our floors is excellent and most spills will wipe off quickly and easily with a clean, white cloth.  Removing certain substances may take a little extra effort, as outlined in the chart below.  Start with first step listed. Only do steps necessary to resolve the problem  Always use a clean, white cloth for wiping up stains and turn it frequently to avoid spreading the stain. Rinse with clean water and allow area to dry between steps  If stain removal causes a change in gloss level, apply polish to restore the shine. Do not use wax, do not buff.

Allow polish to dry “ tack-free” between coats Food, Beverages If a substance is gummy, scrape off with dull knife. Clean using Heavy Duty Cleaner and Stripper and a soft nylon pad or soft bristle brush. Saturate a clean, white cloth with bleach solution, cover stain and allow standing for no more than 1 hour.

Perfect Fit With Flex-E-Grip INSTALLATION

L UXURY V INYL F LOORING P ROGRAM Perfect Fit is a revolutionary design in floating plank floor technology. Using the weight from its thick construction; it stays firmly in place! It has a strong Maxium Shield coating and is quiet and warm under foot. Because of Perfect Fit design, the planks can be installed over all types of sub-floors including natural wood, concrete, one layer of existing vinyl and ceramic.

Get Started

1. Tools: Utility knife and straight edge, depending on application a small amount of vinyl adhesive or tape specified below.

2. Material Needed: Measure the length and width of your room. If the room has alcoves or offsets, measure these separately. This will give you the square footage of the room. Have a minimum of 10% extra to cover mistakes, trimming and for future needs and or replacement.

Check what the amount of square footage is for the package carton and divide it by the room dimensions factoring in the alcoves and offsets and adding in your overage to determine the correct amount of cartons for your installation.

Perfect Fit must be conditioned prior to installation: Perfect Fit must be stored at room temperature of at least 65 degrees F. For 24 to 48 hours before installation. Stack cartons no more than 3 high with at least 4” of airflow around not next to and heat or cooling ducts and direct sunlight.

When installing planks, you should work out a minimum of 3 boxes and mix planks or tiles when installing.

Sub-floor Preparation While Perfect Fit is suitable for situations where many other types of flooring should not be used, certain precautions should be observed including and not limited to: 1. Make sure you have a sound, solid sub-floor with little flexibility.

2. Evaluate your concrete floor if it has a moisture problem, FIX IT! Hydrostatic pressure and/or high Ph need to be addressed. It can create a highly corrosive substance that no flooring product can tolerate. are many products on the market that can seal the concrete and protect Flex-E-Grip from the issue. Polyurethane sheets can be used as a precaution once the concrete floor has been tested, not a solution for a problem.

Our limits for the best precautions are as follows: 3. Check environment!

Keep clean and dust free work conditions during installation. The room temperature and the sub-floor temperature should be between 65º and 85º F. Maintain proper temperature for 48 hours before, during and after installation. The building’s heating and air-conditioning system should be turned on at least one to two weeks before installation. Perfect Fit is an interior product only, and must be installed in a temperature controlled environment, maintained between 65º and 85º F. Please keep in mind a concrete floor can be up to ten degrees colder than the actual room temperature Sub-floor Compatibility All Levels of Concrete: Lightweight concretes and wood sub-floors are approved. All other sub-floors, i.e. particleboard, OSB, chipboard, wafer board, Gypsum underlayment and floor toppings etc. must be sturdy, flat and have little flexibility. Manufacturers’ installation specifications need to be followed. Caution: Soft underlayment and substrates can diminish Flex-E-Grip inherent strength in resisting indentations.

Quarry tile, terrazzo, and ceramic tile need to be floated and grout joints filled with a high quality Portland base cement product.

Radiant heat components must be a minimum of 1/2” separated from Perfect Fit. This is the only type of radiant heat that is approved.

Sub-floors should have been operational for at least 3 weeks prior to installation to drive out moisture and calibrate temperature settings. All radiant heat floors should be turned down so sub-floor temperature is maintained at 65º for 3 days prior to installation and kept at 65º for at least 48 hours after installation to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Maximum operating temperature should never exceed 85º F.

Existing resilient tile and sheet vinyl floors are ok, but must be in good condition and fully bonded to the structural floor. All existing vinyl needs to be stripped and cleaned of all wax and heavily embossed vinyl should befloated with a high quality Portland based cement. Any tile or sheet that is of a soft cushion construction must be removed. For all removal of any resilient glue down product follow RFCI’s recommended Work Practices for removal of resilient floor covering. These products may contain asbestos fibers and/or crystalline silica. Do not sand or bead blast during removal.

Please visit RFCI.com for advice on vinyl installations if needed.

Note: A layer of resilient or soft underlayment like lauan may compromise the inherent strength of Flex-E-Grip. Do not install over more than one layer of existing flooring, to prevent indentations.

Perfect Fit is water/moisture resistant, and does not support mold or mildew.

However, excessive moisture in the sub-floor can cause mold, mildew, and other moisture related issues like trapping of moisture emissions under Perfect Fit. This will cause an adverse affect on existing glue down substrates causing it to release. Check for any dips in the sub-floor that can create a void underneath the floor that will cause stress on the plank seams when walking on it. Perfect Fit is water resistant so it can be installed directly over concrete floors int he basement. (Refer to sub-floor preparation on page 1).

If your concrete floor has any bumps or burrs of concrete sticking up, simply knock them off with a hammer and chisel and fill in the holes.

Installation of Perfect Fit Measure out your room and determine the length and width of the perimeter plank or tile keeping a balanced perimeter row on each side of the room.

Perfect Fit is very easy to cut by scoring with a sharp blade and snapping or a vinyl cutter. Avoid small perimeter pieces less than 6 inches in length and 3 inches in width. Check the walls and makes sure it is square to the opposite wall if not you can scribe the plank on the edge that goes against the wall to create a straight square-starting row. Never expose scribe or cut ends,they should always be covered by molding. Installation should start at corner of the room and work your way out. The perimeter needs to be secured for all installations to lock remainder of floor in place. Glue the whole perimeter using pressure sensitive adhesive. Create at least a 10-inch perimeter in width for planks and 14-inch perimeter in width for 12” x 24” tiles including all walkway entrances and under heavy appliances and furniture. Leave an expansion space from wall at least 1/8" covered by molding. Please contact your retail provider for adhesive details. Once the starting perimeter row is in place just lay your plank down and adjust all side and end seams tight and square to each other. The best part to a Perfect Fit installation is that you can just pull up and reposition a tile or plank if it does not look right.

Avoid walking on planks as much as possible until all the perimeter tiles or planks are in place to lock in the installation. For planks, make sure you stagger the rows with different size planks so the ends of the planks do not line up in a straight uniform line. No starting row piece or end piece should be less than 6 inches and a random staggered method is best. For your typical residential installations only, you can use a heavy duty double face tape to secure the perimeter planks from moving. First remove the paper from one side and secure tape to the back of the tile or plank. Then remove paper and place tile or plank to floor. The acceptable amount of tape is 3 rows, running length-wise down plank, if using 2” wide tape and rows for tile. For cutting around irregular objects, make a pattern out of heavy paper to fit around the object place and trace the pattern upon the plank and cut along the lines with a utility knife or heavy duty scissors and lay the plank.

For any reason you need to replace a plank that is damaged, just pull up the plank and put another in its place. It’s that easy!
