- Acclimation
The area to receive flooring shall be fully enclosed, weather tight, with an installed operating HVAC system. The installation area, flooring materials and adhesive must be acclimated at a temperature between 65°– 85°F for 48 hours prior to, during and after installation. The relative humidity of the installation area shall be maintained between 35 – 55% per ASTM F710 (Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring).
- Freeze Thaw Stability
Freeze-thaw stable. Allow adhesive to acclimate to normal room temperature
