INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The manufacturer ensures colour matching by
supplying from one lot marked with the same lot
number.
However, slight deviations in shade cannot
be ruled out completely. The floor installer must
check that the colour matches once the product has
been laid out.
Complaints with regard to colour
matching cannot be accepted once the floorcovering
has been installed.
1
Subfloor
Subfloors suitable for the installation of DLW VINYL
floorcoverings are all those which are (and remain)
level, firm, free of cracks and dry (see also VOB Part
C, DIN 18 365 [German professional association;
regulations governing floorcovering work] and the
relevant regulations in each case). Dense, non-
absorbent subfloors such as mastic asphalt or
primed screeds must have an adequate thickness of
levelling compound (we recommend approx. 2
mm)
applied when emulsion-based adhesives are used.
Low-stress levelling compounds recommended by
the material supplier are suitable for this. Follow the
precise product and application recommendations of
material manufacturers.
The following empirical values apply to the residual
moisture level of the various screeds at normal
screed thickness, i.e. not significantly above the
minimum requirements of DIN 18 560:
Screeds
Permitted
residual
moisture in CM %
Calcium sulphate and
calcium sulphate wet
screed
< 0.5
Cement screed
< 2.0
In the case of insulating subfloors such as mastic
asphalt and chipboard or with underfloor heating
etc.
,
we
recommend
bonding
even
antistatic
floorcoverings
with
conductive
adhesive.
This
cancels out the capacity-reducing effect of the
underfloor.
2
Adhesives
For all DLW VINYL floorcoverings, suitable emulsion
adhesives are applied using the notch spacing
recommended
by
the
adhesive
manufacturer.
Please
also
take
note
of
the
manufacturer's
recommendations for processing and bear in mind
that the selection of adhesive and the quantity
applied may have a negative impact on the
indentation properties of resilient floorcoverings
following installation.
Solvent based contact adhesives are not allowed to
use under heterogeneous floorings.
