Installation Recommendations
Important notes / General remarks
When working with adhesive and other process materials, the handling guidelines of the adhesive manufacturers and the relevant legislation and standards for the country concerned must be complied with.
These recommendations prove additional product-specific information, compiled to the best of our knowledge and on the basis of practical experience and tests. If in doubt, users are advised to perform their own adhesive tests. Since proper handling and processing of the products is beyond our sphere of influence an control, we cannot accept any guarantee for the installation results obtained. Our warranty and liability only apply to the extent stipulated in our Terms of Delivery and Payment.
A. The following details should be known to the installation company, or the information obtained, when the offer is issued:
- Are there builder's hoists or lifts that can be used?
- Can storage space or working areas be partitioned off and locked?
- Can water and electricity supplies be shared?
- Planning of stages of work or interruptions?
- Particular obstacles: e.g. working in rooms being used by other
workmen, working at unusually high temperatures, working in rooms with poor ventilation, etc.? - Type and condition of subfloor, any priming or levelling required?
- Is there a screed with underfloor heating?
- Any unusual requirements/special duties for the flooring, e.g. castor-wheeled office chairs, truck traffic, exposure to chemicals, insulation against electricity, electrical conductivity, etc.?
- Shape of connections to adjacent parts of the building?
- Type and number of openings, apertures for pipes, etc.?
- Any floor shape other than rectangular, oblique-angled or round surfaces, stairs, etc.?
- Invoicing according to side measurement or accurately marked drawing?
- Joint-sealing of sheets or tiles in conjunction with skirtings?
- Is a damp course built into areas with no cellars below, or above rooms with high temperatures (e.g. boiler rooms, laundries, etc.)?
B. When the order has been placed, remember the following:
- Check the room dimensions on site - it may depend on only a few centimetres whether entire sheets or tiles are sufficient (cutting waste is costly). - Selection and provision of the process materials required (e.g. primers, levelling compound, adhesives, jointing compound, hot welding rod, profiles).
C. Before starting installation
The installation company must check the subfloor to ascertain whether it is suitable for having floorcoverings installed on it. Any reservations must be presented in writing if any of these conditions are found.
With noraplan® floorcoverings, uni-coloured and without granules, an appropriate covering during the construction phase is mandatory.
