          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Traditional coverings including thermoplastic, linoleum and ceramic tiles need not be removed from existing sub floors. Delete provisions for wood and concrete floors not applicable.
          1.The Contractor will provide a concrete slab smooth and level to a tolerance of 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) in a 10 ft (3 m) radius. High areas will be ground down and low areas filled with appropriate leveling compounds.
          2.Concrete sub floors will be cured and dry to industry standards. They will have an adequate moisture barrier beneath and at the perimeter of the slab.
          3.Wood sub floors will be structurally sound, and level. Loose boards and nails will be secured and gaps filled.
 
          B.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
 
          B.Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
          1.Flooring will be stored on the premises for twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours before installation commences, or as required for acclimation. The flooring installer will make final determination of acclimation period.
 
          3.4PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect installed products until completion of project.
 
          B.Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
