Special notes
12.1
Office chairs with castors
Office chairs with castors must be equipped for use
on resilient floorcoverings with type W castors to EN
12 529, i.e.
with soft castors in the prescribed
dimensions. This should be taken into account when
using office chairs with castors.
12.2
Burns
Smouldering cigarette butts can cause charring on
synthetic
floor
coverings.
These
floorcoverings
should therefore not be laid in restaurants etc.
subject to this kind of problem.
12.3
Discolouration
With prolonged contact, rubber may leave indelible
discoloration on all resilient floor coverings. Possible
causes are:
car tyres, covering materials, castors or feet on
washing
machines,
refrigerators,
prams.
Such
discoloration will not appear immediately, but as a
consequence of the migration of substances and
subsequent exposure to light.
To avoid such discoloration, use castors made of
polyurethane. If this is impossible, we recommend
using protective plates.
Bitumen-based
asphalts,
mineral
oils,
greases,
coloured shoe polishes deposited on the floor
covering by shoes can result in discoloration on
light-coloured synthetic floor coverings in areas of
heavy traffic.
This is for example the case in areas
which are accessed from asphalted streets, in
kitchens or in offices of filling stations and car repair
workshops.
12.4
Adhesive
tapes
If adhesive tapes are used on the floor covering,
please
check
compatibility
with
the
relevant
manufacturers.
