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

WARRANTY_
FloorworX offers a 5 year limited warranty, subject to our terms and conditions,
against defective material provided that it is installed and maintained in accordance
with our recommendations
STOVE BAR MARKS_
It is recommended that installers contact the FloorworX Technical Department for
advice regarding stove bar marks and the installation of Marmoleum.

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 dampproof 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.

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
