1.4	SUBMITTALS
A.	Submit under provisions of Section 01 30 00 - Administrative Requirements.
B.	Product Data: Provide detailed data on each product to be used including but not limited to the following information as applicable:
1.	Preparation instructions and recommendations.
2.	Storage and handling requirements and recommendations.
3.	Installation methods.
4.	Maintenance recommendations.
C.	Selection Samples: For each finish product specified, two sets of each type, colors and finish of resilient flooring and accessory required, indicating full range of color and pattern variation.
D.	Verification Samples: For each finish product specified, two sets of each type, colors and finish of resilient flooring and accessory required, indicating color and pattern of actual product, including variations, as proof of application compliance.
E.	Closeout Submittals: Submit three copies of the following:
1.	Maintenance and operation data includes - methods for maintaining installed products, and precautions against cleaning materials and methods detrimental to finishes and performance.
2.	Documentation of warranty specified herein.
F.	Flame Spread Certification: Submit manufacturer's certification that resilient flooring furnished for areas indicated to comply with required flame spread rating has been tested and meets or exceeds indicated or required standard.
1.5	QUALITY ASSURANCE
A.	Installer Qualifications: Minimum two years' experience, and have completed at least three projects of similar magnitude, material, and complexity. Upon request, provide project references including contact names and telephone numbers for three projects.
B.	Mock-Up: Provide a mock-up for evaluation of surface preparation techniques and application workmanship.
1.	Finish areas designated by Architect.
2.	Do not proceed with remaining work until workmanship, color, sheen, and finished appearance are approved by Architect.
1.6	DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING
A.	Store products in manufacturer's unopened packaging until ready for installation.
B.	Flooring material and adhesive shall be acclimated to the installation area for a minimum of 48 hours prior to installation.
C.	Store cartons of tile products flat and squarely on top of one another, not on edge.
D.	Store tubes of design strips and borders in a horizontal position. Storage in a vertical or inclined position causes uneven weight distributions, which will spaghetti the ends of the design strips. Store all tubes lying flat.
1.7	PROJECT CONDITIONS
A.	Environmental Requirements/Conditions: In accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Areas to receive flooring shall be clean, fully enclosed, weather tight with the permanent HVAC set at a uniform temperature of at least 65 degrees F (18 degrees C) and less than 85 degrees (30 degrees C) 48 hours prior to and during and for not less than 48 hours after installation. The flooring material shall be conditioned in the same manner prior to installation.
B.	Close off areas to traffic during resilient flooring installation, and for a period of time after installation as recommended in writing by the manufacturer.
C.	Install resilient flooring materials and accessories after other finishing operations, including painting, have been completed.
D.	Where demountable partitions and other items are indicated for installation on top of sheet resilient flooring material, install flooring material before these items are to be installed.
E.	Concrete substrates must be tested in accordance with ASTM F2170 or ASTM F1869. If the results exceed limits of the product or adhesive to be used a moisture mitigation system or damp-proof membrane must be installed to bring moisture levels within specifications.
F.	Store tubes of design strips and borders in a horizontal position. Storage in a vertical or inclined position causes uneven weight distributions, which will spaghetti the ends of the design strips. Store all tubes lying flat.

PART 3    EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Inspect floor to be installed immediately upon arriving at job site; perform a moisture test.
B.	Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
C.	If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
D.	The installation of the resilient flooring shall not begin until the work of all other trades has been completed, particularly wet and overhead trades.
E.	Areas to receive flooring shall be adequately lit during all phases of the installation process.
3.2	PREPARATION
A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
B.	Using Portland based cementitious base leveler or patch fill and cover all seams, nail heads, voids, cracks, and expansion joints. Achieve smooth, even, firmly attached substrate for best finish results. Gypsum based underlayment not acceptable with Karndean Luxury Vinyl Flooring unless it is first properly prepared.
1.	Encapsulate any gypsum with a premium latex primer/sealer recommended by gypsum manufacturer.
2.	Cement slabs can be floated or repaired using Portland cement based compound. Follow patch manufacturers' instructions.
3.	Once substrate flatness is achieved, 3/16 inch (5 mm) in 10 feet (mm in 3 m), continue with the next step.
C.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
D.	Concrete Substrates: The Contractor shall verify to the Owner and installer a minimum of 30 days prior to the scheduled resilient flooring installation the following substrate conditions. All substrate testing shall be documented and submitted to the Architect and Owner before commencement of the flooring installation.
1.	Verify that substrates are dry, free of debris, and that all surfaces have properly cured.
2.	Remove substrate coatings and other substances that are incompatible with adhesives and that contain soap, wax, oil, or silicone, using mechanical methods recommended by manufacturer. Do not use solvents.
3.	Alkalinity and Adhesion Testing: Perform tests recommended by manufacturer. Proceed with installation only after substrates pass testing.
4.	Moisture Testing: Perform ASTM 1869 Calcium Chloride or ASTM 2170 In-Situ RH test and record results. Choose proper adhesive or moisture mitigation systems to meet manufacturers' specifications for moisture content. Proceed with installation only after substrates meet specifications.
3.3	INSTALLING RESILIENT TILES AND PLANKS
A.	General:
1.	Karndean does not mandate any one brand of resilient flooring underlayment. Permanent HVAC system shall be turned on and set to a minimum of 65 degrees F (20 degrees C) for a minimum of 48 hours prior to, during and 48 hours after installation.
2.	All products shall be allowed to acclimate at least 24 hours before installation. This means product shall be placed in the same room as the install that is taking place and removed from its factory packaging.
3.	Material shall be visually inspected prior to installation.
4.	Ensure that all recommendations for sub-floor and jobsite conditions are met prior to beginning the installation. Once the installation is started, Contractor and installer have accepted those conditions.
5.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's installation instructions for each product type and application specified.
B.	Layout and Installation:
1.	Position planks so the end seams are no closer than the width of the plank being installed. Maintain this approach to staggering the planks throughout the entire installation while keeping a random appearance.
2.	Center tiles or planks in rooms and hallways so borders are not less than half a tile or plank when possible.
3.	Cut edges shall always be installed against a wall.
4.	Install using tile and plank installation techniques recommended by manufacturer.
5.	Install tiles, planks, borders and design strips in locations and configurations indicated on the Drawings.
C.	Product Application:
1.	Install in accordance with adhesive recommendations on label or data sheet.
2.	Refer to manufacturer's literature for selection criteria for applicator, type.
3.	Using proper applicator, apply adhesive in accordance with label on adhesive.
4.	For LooseLay installations only, spread a 4 inch (100 mm) wide band of adhesive around the perimeter of the area designated as an extreme condition area. An additional 4 inch (100 mm) band shall be spread at approximately 10 foot (3 m) intervals, forming a grid pattern.
