Ensure that tiles and planks laid into adhesive are done so within the prescribed open time indicated on adhesive container. ALL Karndean products should be rolled after installation using a 68kg roller in larger areas, or a small hand roller in lesser areas. With the exception of products installed with pressure sensitive adhesive, which can receive traffic immediately following installation, ensure that all tiles and planks are free from general traffic for 24 hours after installation or protect from direct contact for that period, ie. board over.
Acclimatisation of material before installation
Remove material from packaging, spread out and allow to condition in room where installation is to take place at a constant temperature of 18°-26° for a period of 24 hours prior to installation. This temperature should be maintained during installation, and for a 24 hour period after installation.
