DO THESE REALLY GO 3 TOGETHER?” ECO SYSTEM – great new freedom The demands made on floorcoverings are growing. More than ever we are now looking at not only the purchase price, design and performance characteristics but also the cost of maintenance. And this is not surprising: with installations lasting over 10 years, maintenance generally accounts for 90% or so of the total cost of a floorcovering. New! Vinyl floorcoverings with high-quality polyurethane coating Armstrong’s new range of vinyl flooring offers fascinating designs and colours, excellent performance characteristics and a high-quality polyurethane coating. For maximum durability, minimum maintenance and freedom of design: the PUR ECO SYSTEM from Armstrong. Maximum durability and simple maintenance Armstrong has a consistent approach to the future: from now on all vinyl flooring will be factory-finished with an extremely high-quality, resistant polyurethane coating which makes floors even less susceptible to soiling, marks and scratches. A further benefit is that it is possible to use both wet and dry cleaning methods. Minimal care required – significant cost savings The high-quality polyurethane coating on Armstrong’s vinyl collection reduces the amount of care and costly renovation throughout the life* of the flooring, which is a key consideration for everyone with an eye on the long-term control of costs. Armstrong’s vinyl flooring with the PUR ECO SYSTEM can cut maintenance costs significantly depending on the installation and usage. * Subject to compliance with Armstrong’s cleaning and maintenance recommendations for polyurethane-coated floorcoverings. TI_VINYL05_GB_komplett 22.11.2005 17:53 Uhr Seite 5 ECO SYSTEM “THEY DO WITH THE NOW! ECO SYSTEM FROM ARMSTRONG.” Ergonomic and ecological – the ECO SYSTEM The polyurethane coating of Armstrong vinyl flooring makes cleaning not only simpler but also physically less demanding: cleaning equipment glides smoothly over the floor in a highly efficient manner. In addition, major savings can be achieved in terms of care and cleaning products as well as water consumption. This also helps to reduce waste water pollution, which is a real bonus where the environment is concerned. High-quality and resistant – the polyurethane coating from Armstrong Armstrong DLW vinyl with 100% polyurethane coating – for minimum maintenance and maximum economy: extra-tough surface coating for optimum resistance to scuffs and scratches extra-thick coating of approx. 20 µm (0.02 mm) for longevity extra-dense surface for resistance to stains, chemicals and disinfectants 5 TI_VINYL05_GB_komplett 22.11.2005 17:53 Uhr Seite 6 3 Armstrong vinyl – popular and effective Armstrong vinyl flooring is the first choice for installations where there are exacting requirements on durability and hygiene without compromising design. As a high-quality manufacturer with worldwide experience Armstrong offers a range of products to suit all your needs: whether homogeneous or heterogeneous, design, performance or priceoriented, sheet or tiles – the Armstrong vinyl collection is the optimum floorcovering for every application. Comfortable hospital and day rooms, prestigious reception and sales areas, corridors, staircases or rooms such as operating theatres, which demand special requirements on conductivity – Armstrong has the solution! This is demonstrated by numerous projects in healthcare, education and retail, where our flooring has been used for years. PVC – environmentally sensible PVC is ideal for floorcoverings because of its resistance to wear. However its environmental benefits are less well known. According to the current level of knowledge the production and use of vinyl flooring does not result in any significant impairment to man or the environment whatsoever. Life cycle assessments such as the current study being carried out by the EU Commission confirm the high standards achieved by PVC. Main constituents: rock salt and crude oil The starting point for the manufacture of PVC is rock salt (table salt) and crude oil. The other raw materials involved such as chalks, pigments and plasticisers are all physiologically harmless. PVC does not contain formaldehyde or PCP, heavy metals, lead or cadmium. Containing only 43% of crude oil, vinyl is a product that is easy on valuable resources, compared with floorcoverings made of polyethylene, polypropylene, synthetic rubber or elastomers. In addition Armstrong vinyl flooring uses a comparatively low level of energy during the manufacturing process. Hygienic and safe Numerous scientific studies worldwide have demonstrated that PVC products do not present any risk to man. This is demonstrated by the use of PVC in the medical sector: be it infusion bags and tubing, adhesive plasters or oxygen tents. Behaviour in a fire Armstrong vinyl floorcoverings safeguard against flammability. Products have been tested in accordance with international standards and get the very highest passes available for EN13501 and DIN4120.

Conductive Armstrong DLW vinyl floorcoverings have proved their value and demonstrated their ability to meet all conductivity requirements. Those in conductivity category LG2 can keep conductive resistance to a maximum of 10 6 Ω (Ohm), and Royal ESD (LG1) offers not only a maximum conductive resistance of 10 7 Ω but also the ability to meet the local insulation rating required by VDE 0100. Requirements for electrical grade floorcoverings The required electrical values are shown as maximum figures (in Ohms) for the leakage resistance. Ohmic resistance figures in the unlaid product (R 1) and earth leaking resistances in the installed material (R 2) are not to be confused. The manufacturing data illustrated applies to unlaid material. If an earth leaking resistance is required, a conductive installation is also necessary. In many industrial areas, e.g. testing stations, the location’s contact resistance R ST as per VDE 0100 has to be complied with. Computers and other electronic appliances may suffer interference from electrostatic charging. The charge voltage arising from the interference depends on the type of construction and the shielding of the appliances and signal circuits. Enquiries about the recommendations for computer centres should be directed to the computer manufacturers.

The process is simple and can be carried out by any competent installer. HPR is installed after the subfloor is prepared and can be used on any type of flooring base. 1.1 Procedure 1. The floorcovering is to be adhered normally leaving a gap between the cut edge and the wall – for HPR 2525 this is approx. 6 cm and for HPR 5050 approx. 8 cm – (to be marked out with a chalked string). The floorcovering adhesive must not be applied outside of the mark. 2. The concave profile is glued with contact adhesive (applied on both sides). The mitre joints are cut for the inner and outer corners in the mitre box. To do this a crescent-shaped cutter or a saw is used. 4. The material strips that have been prepared are laid on the marking and pressed into the concave moulding. Before reaching the corner (approx. 1 m) the mitre joint is cut on the laying strip using a metal template. Finally, the strip can be pressed as before into the concave moulding. 5. The remaining strip of covering material of approx. 1 cm of the floorcovering is then marked finally with the marker and cut off with the hooked blade. With this there should be a join of about 0.5 mm. During the overall installation process it is important that the material strip should be firmly pressed on or rubbed in. 6. The join between the concave skirting strip and the floorcovering is then grooved and sealed with Armstrong weld rod. 1.2 Joint sealing The corner areas can be permanently sealed a) With colour-matched permanently resilient sealant b) With cold-weld material. 3. The sticking down of the material strips – with the HPR 2525 approx. 16 cm and HPR 5050 approx. 18 cm in width – is done also using contact adhesive (applied to both surfaces). A mark is to be made on the wall all the way round at a height of approximately 10 cm. This serves both as a guideline for the limit of the laying of the covering and for the adhesive as well. 33 TI_VINYL05_GB_komplett 22.11.2005 17:54 Uhr Seite 34 Accessories Cove Former skirting section, HPR 2525 Floorcovering completely glued down leaving a gap along the walls.

The junction between the floor and wall is formed in a rounded shape; the HSLA concave skirting board maintains the stability of its shape through having aluminium reinforcement at the back. The concave skirting boards are installed prior to the surface laying and can be used with all types of floorings. 2.1 Procedure For corners an electrical mitre joint saw can be used on large projects, but in smaller projects, a hand mitring saw is adequate. If there are no flushmounted skirting boards to be installed, it is recommended that concave skirting be fitted before the painting and papering of the walls is carried out. Fixing is carried out using contact adhesive. The floorcovering is marked at a distance of 0.5 mm to the installed skirting and cut with the blade. The sealing is carried out with the use of weld rod. The inner and outer corners of the concave skirting board rails can be stabilised with HSLA inner and outer corners. 2.2 Form of delivery and dimensions Project-related production of at least one vinyl roll 180 cm in width.

The weld rod is resistant to solvents and disinfectants. 4.1 Procedure After the adhesive has set – this can take several days depending on the type of adhesive, sub-floor temperature and humidity – the seams are grooved out to a depth of 2/3 of the thickness of the installed material and carefully vacuumed or blown out. The width of the join should be around 3.5 mm. The weld rod is processed with a hand welder and attached speed welding nozzle of 5 mm in diameter, or with an automatic welder. We recommend using speed welding nozzles that have a very narrow air outlet. Operating temperature is from 450-500 °C. This temperature must remain within this operational range. The speed of operation should be selected so that the molten rod runs well into the milled groove. This corresponds to a working speed of 4-5 metres per minute. The surplus of the rod is trimmed to be rendered flush with the material surface in two operations. The first trimming is done when the weld is still warm using the crescent-shaped cutter and sledge. The second trimming is carried out after cooling-down, and is cut smooth and level to the floorcovering using only the crescentshaped cutter. For large projects we recommend automatic welders in which the weld rod runs without tension. The temperature is constantly checked and the weld rod is guided into the milled groove without any unchecked pressure loading from its own weight. 4.2 Form of delivery Thickness approx. 4 mm Rolls at 100 lm Weight/roll approx. 1.5 kg Packing unit box with roll 4.3 Colour recommendation Colour recommendations for the optimum combination of weld rod and floorcovering can be found on our weld rod colour card. 4.4 Dimensions Rolls 180 cm wide Tiles 60.8 x 60.8 cm 0.5 lm/m 2 3.5 lm/m 2 3 5/Copper strips Armstrong copper strips are recommended for the conductive laying of Armstrong DLW Homogeneous LG1/LG2.

Riverside Saltney CHESTER CH4 8RS T: +44 (0)1244 674774 F Ball & Co. Ltd 3 1/ Sub-floor Churnetside Business Park Armstrong PUR vinyl floorcoverings can be laid on all sub-floors that are permanently smooth, firm, free of cracks, and refer to all other relevant country standards. Dense, non-porous sub-floors such as poured asphalt or primed screeds must be smoothed with a levelling compound of at least 3 mm thickness, before emulsion-based adhesives are used. The following figures for residual moisture and drying times for various sub-floors apply to substrates of normal thickness and are derived from practical experience: Floor bases Permitted residual moisture in CM-% Cement - screed - with underfloor heating ≤ 2.0 ≤ 1.8 Anhydride and Anhydride tile floor - with underfloor heating ≤ 0.5 ≤ 0.3 A maximum RH of 75 % applies when measured at floor surface using a hygrometer. With insulating base surfaces, e.g. poured asphalt or chipboard, we recommend glueing antistatic floorcoverings with conductive adhesive. This offsets any change in electrical resistance. For specialist installations in electrostatic sensitive areas consult our technical department. 3 2/Adhesive The application of the adhesive is carried out using the correct trowel notch as recommended by the adhesive supplier. We recommend the use of lowemission and solvent-free adhesives. Care should be taken to ensure the correct choice and applicaton of adhesive as this can have an effect on the success of the resulting bond and other aspects of performance in use. Station Road Cheddleton LEEK Staffordshire ST13 7RS T: +44 (0)1538 361633 Enquiries regarding suitable adhesives should be made directly to the adhesive manufacturers or to Armstrong’s Technical Team on 01235 554848. 3 3/Measuring and calculating requirements 3.1 Rolls To calculate the required quantity of floorcovering, it is necessary to assess the lengths and widths of rolls needed in relation to measured site quantities, starting first by deciding on the direction in which they are to be laid. Head seams should only be considered if the roll length is greater than 5 metres. Rolls running towards door openings or recesses must completely cover these areas. Recesses running parellel to the roll can be covered by strip inserts where necessary. 3.2 Tiles Tiles are normally laid checkerboard effect with the surface pattern running in alternating directions, but if preferred, they can also be laid broadloom effect running in the same direction. Parallel or diagonal laying is possible to create different effects. The nett floor areas plus a percentage for waste is calculated for assessing the number of tiles required. This waste will normally be greater if the tiles are to be laid diagonally or if the area contains irregular angles and curves. 39 TI_VINYL05_GB_komplett 22.11.2005 17:54 Uhr Seite 40 Installation 3.3 Stairways Stairs are individually cut from rolls. If the floorcovering is printed with a pattern, this must run parallel to the edge of the step. The same applies to platforms and landing areas. The quantity required can be calculated from the number of steps that can be cut from one roll of floorcovering. Templates will be needed in the case of spiral staircases or difficult shapes. Stair nosings will normally be required. 3 4/Storage and acclimatisation To ensure that the floorcovering retains its properties during laying, proper storage is required. Material should be kept in a dry room at a temperature of +18 °C for at least 24 hours before laying. Rolls should be stored upright, and tiles should not be stacked more than 8 cartons high. Performance of vinyl floorcoverings cannot be guaranteed if the temperature is too low at the time of installation. A room temperature of about +18 °C and a sub-floor temperature of at least +15 °C should be maintained for the duration of the fitting. These figures should be regarded as the minimum if emulsion adhesives are being used. Before installation, wherever possible, it is worthwhile cutting from the roll to size including cutting waste on the day before they are laid in place. Armstrong vinyl sheet floorcoverings should be laid out overnight. It is best to leave them lying flat on top of each other. Any minor irregularities in shape which may have occured during transport will usually disappear. Armstrong’s homogeneous floorcoverings which have been laminated to Korkment Special should be brought to room temperature after they have been cut to size, standing in the rolled-up form (with the display side outwards). When tiles are being laid it is best to fan them out so that they can adapt to the room temperature. been cut as a guide. The unwanted strips are then cut off in the opposite direction. b) In large areas (after applying the adhesive) the edge of floorcovering that is on top is scored with an overscriber using the edge of the lower sheet that has been already cut as a guide. The unwanted strips are then cut off with the hooked blade. 5.1.1 Seam cutting Seam cutting is to be carried out each time so that the edges of the floorcovering fit tightly against each other without being forced. The cut is to be made square on or slightly inclined. With Timberline it must be ensured that the joint cut is always at the edge of a plank pattern and the adjustent roll pattern matched accordingly. 5.1.2 Head-end seams Head-end seams of short rolls can be cut to fit before being glued. With longer rolls the head-end seams should only be trimmed after the area has been glued. 5.2 Tiles a) Parallel laying A line parallel to the main front of the room is marked with a chalked string before laying starts. The distance from the wall is a multiple of the size of the tiles, minus about 2 cm. In corridors, this measurement can be taken from the deepest door threshold instead of from the wall. The starting point is marked on this line, and chosen in such a way that, at the most prominent points, (e.g. near the main entrance), the tiles laid are virtually all complete, so that no narrow strips have to be inserted. 3 5/ Laying procedure 5.1 Rolls It is recommended, even if hot welding is to be carried out later, that both edges of the roll are cut as only then will a clean seam finish be guaranteed. The first roll edge is simply cut using the strip cutter. The second edge can be cut using one of two different methods: a) In small areas (before applying the adhesive) the sheet that is underneath is scored with a knife using the edge of the upper roll that has already Parallel/ chequerboard laying of tiles. A number of tiles are now placed loose along the chalked string and weighed down with weights. In larger rooms, this row remains in postion until the adjacent area has been laid. In smaller rooms, it is sufficient for one tile to stay in place in order to mark the starting point. TI_VINYL05_GB_komplett 22.11.2005 17:54 Uhr Seite 41 Installation wall b) Diagonal laying First the starting point is determined as above. It must now be decided how the tiles are to run to the walls and the main entrance and the angle of fitting. Chalk lines should be made on the diagonal in line with this angle. The diagonal dimension of a tile is the length of one edge multiplied by 1.414. If this results in a large number of small triangles, the starting point of the room can be moved to one side by one-quarter of this diagonal dimension. In non-symmetrical rooms, the parallels are laid down at a distance from the main front equal to a multiple of the tile diagonal minus about 2 cm. It should be noted in this instance as well that the tiles near the main entrance should only be whole ones, possibly with half-tiles in between them. Small inserts should always be avoided. A double row of tiles is then laid along the chalked line, with the first row lying with opposite corners along the chalked line and the second row touching it at the corners. cutting edge tile middle roll. The adhesive for the second half of the roll must meet the edge of the adhesive from the first half. Halves of rolls which fit up to adjoining parts of the room, e.g. at thresholds and door frames, are glued first. Open working times for adhesives must be observed in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines at all times. All air must be expelled from underneath and any bubbles can be located and removed by tapping the floorcoverings, and then pressing out the air to one side. Head ends are rolled back into place before carefully cutting off any surplus. If necessary, seams and head ends should be weighted down long enough until the adhesive has fully cured. All materials should be rolled in accordance with adhesive manufacturer’s instructions. 6.2 Tiles When the adhesive has been applied, laying starts from the tile marking the starting point or line. During installation continually check that tiles are square to each other in order to avoid misalignment. The tiles should be rubbed or pressed down thoroughly to ensure good coating on the underside, and this procedure should be repeated if necessary. Materials should be rolled as in the case of sheet material. edge tile 3 7/Sealing of joints sub-floor Cut edge of edge tiles. In large rooms, a diagonal row of tiles is now laid from the starting point and is used as a base-line for all the other tiles. In small rooms it will be sufficient to leave one tile to mark the starting point. The tiles along the wall are finally cut to shape with a hooked blade when all the others have been glued down. 3 6/Glueing Vinyl products should always be fully adhered throughout, following the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions. The choice of the correct trowel notching and the right time to change the spatula blade, as well as thorough rubbing in, are vital if the underside of the material is to be coated properly. This must be checked continually during installation by pulling back the roll to assess transfer of adhesive. 6.1 Sheet material The sheets are rolled back to the middle of the room after positioning. Glueing starts with the Sealing of the joints is recommended for those rooms in which the sub-floor should be protected against the ingress of moisture. Welding must also always be carried out when laying Armstrong DLW Korkment special and floors that have under-floor heating, as well as with composite coverings with a Korkment underside. The welding process may only be carried out after the adhesion process is completed. Dependent on the type of adhesive and the ambient conditions in the room, this can take several days. In doing this, the adhesive manufacturer’s specifications should be observed. The joints in the floorcovering are grooved with a grooving machine or manual groover to a depth of 2/3 of the thickness of the floorcovering. Finally, the groove should be carefully cleaned (vacuumed or blown out). The width of the joint should be approximately 3.5 mm. The Armstrong vinyl weld rod can be used with a hand welding device and attached speed welding nozzle (5 mm diameter). We recommend utilising speed welding nozzles that have a very narrow air outlet. The operating temperature is between 450-500 °C and a speed of working of 4-5 metres per minute. The projecting 41 TI_VINYL05_GB_komplett 22.11.2005 17:54 Uhr Seite 42 Installation part of the weld rod is trimmed in two operations.

After the weld rod has cooled down the welded seam is trimmed with the crescent shaped blade flush to the upper surface of the floorcovering. 7.1 Cold welding Armstrong vinyl PUR floorcoverings can also be welded with a cold-welding agent, but in this event the seam must be trimmed close. Do not allow any cold-welding agent to contaminate the surface of the material. 3 8/Armstrong DLW Korkment as underlay Armstrong DLW Korkment Special can be laid on any prepared subfloor, and can be laid from the roll in the same direction as the upper floorcoverings. Seams should be off-set by at least 50 cm. The cut can be made with overlapping edges using a double-cut with a hooked blade, along a rule. Emulsion adhesive is to be used, or alternatively‚ a twin-component adhesive. The quantity of adhesive required will depend on the intended future use of the room. The surface floorcoverings should not be laid until the adhesive under the Korkment has cured completely. If the floor is to be subjected to heavy use, e.g. in a hospital, the Korkment can be laid with the jute backing on the upper exported surface. Enquiries regarding suitable adhesives can be directed to adhesive manufacturers or to the Armstrong Technical Team by telephoning 01235 554848. 3 9/ Underfloor heating Armstrong vinyl PUR floorcoverings can be glued down onto sub-floors that have underfloor heating. The thermal resistance is so low that it has virtually no impact on the effectiveness of the heating. Refer to Armstrong Technical Department for exact values. Relevant country installation standards should be observed for specific guidance on fitting and operating conditions for both dry and wet systems. It is particularly important to observe shutting down times of the heating before, during and after installation. 3 10/Conductive floorcoverings In this laying process, the floor covering is laid onto a conductive system that is ultimately connected to a safety earhing system. The earthing of the conductive floor is a matter for the electrical contractor. The Armstrong DLW Advisory Service is at your disposal for questions about conductive laying operations. Frequently used conductive systems are: 10.1 Laying on copper strips A running strip of copper is to be laid under each row of tiles or roll of floor covering. The copper strips are to be connected crossways at the head-ends by a further twostrips at two points in the room and with larger rooms (over 40 m 2) at several points, connections to the earthing system are to be arranged. Armstrong DLW supplies copper strip use in the laying of Armstrong DLW Homogeneous Conductive LG2; this is delivered in rolls of 50 m lengths. 10.2 Laying on -conductive layers A conductive primer is to be applied according to the operating guidelines of the manufacturer. A piece of copper strip about 1 metre in length is glued on to the floor in such a way that no part of the floor is more than 10 metres from an earthing point. 10.3 Laying with double requirement Floor coverings with the designation LG1 are conductive but at the same time meet the requirement on the standing surface insulation as per DIN 757100/VDE 0100 T410. Copper strip lugs and semi-conductive adhesive is required for laying this. It is recommended that additional information should be obtained about this type of laying from the Armstrong DLW Advisory Service.

Dirt and grit will increase the effect of abrasion on the surface of the floorcovering. Because of this and also for reasons of hygiene, retention of its value and aesthetics, every floorcovering needs to be cleaned and cared for efficiently. Abrasives and strong solvents should not be used however, as these could seriously impair the appearance of the product. Armstrong vinyl floorcoverings with a factory applied PUR surface coating are easy to look after, and initial polishing immediately after installation is not necessary.* The following paragraphs describe in detail the individual steps for cleaning Armstrong DLW vinyl PUR floorcoverings on large, heavy-traffic areas: 3 1 / Completion of building or initial cleaning Remove construction dirt and debris with a vacuum cleaner or by sweeping. a) If the amount of dirt is small, wet-cleaning is advisable with a neutral or alcohol cleaner added to the water. b) Heavy dirt or soiling can be removed by using an automatic cleaning machine or single-disc rotary machine with a beige or a red pad. A neutral cleaning agent or a suitable cleaning fluid should be used. The floorcovering can also be buffed if necessary, once the surface has dried, using a single-disc machine with a beige or a red pad (set the speed between 300 and 1,000 rpm). 3 2 /Maintenance cleaning The process selected depends on the degree of dirt, the initial treatment, and the hygiene requirements. Dry buffing processes should be preferred whenever the degree of dirt allows, as this will keep maintenance costs down and have less impact on the environment as a smaller amount of chemicals are used. To improve visual appearance and optimise maintenance we recommend occasional buffing with the single-disc machine (300-1000 rpm) and a beige/red pad. 2.1 Dry cleaning Dry cleaning is carried out with a fleece cloth holder and an impregnated fleece cloth or micro-fibre cloth. 2.2 Wet/damp mopping If soiling is heavy it will be necessary to wet mop. A neutral or alcohol cleaning fluid should be added to the water, and/or maintainer. With this process the floorcovering is cleaned with a mop. Lightly soiled areas can be cleaned with a single-disc rotary machine by spray buffing with a maintainer. Where the cleaned surface has dried it can, if necessary, be buffed further using a singledisc machine (at 300-1,000 rpm) with a beige or a red pad underneath. In areas that have to be regularly disinfected wet it is advisable to add disinfectant to the water. 2.3 Cleansing Cleansing means the (local) intensive treatment of stubborn stains or scuffs after mopping. Combined cleaner polishers are sprayed onto such stains. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents as these would damage the PUR surface. The dirty marks are best treated with disc machines and soft cleaning pads with maintainer solution. Very intensive dirt areas can often only be treated by deep-cleansing using an automatic scrubber/dryer. * Subject to compliance with Armstrong’s cleaning and maintenance recommendations for polyurethane-coated floorcoverings. TI_VINYL05_GB_komplett 22.11.2005 17:54 Uhr Seite 45 Cleaning and maintainance 2.4 Machine cleaning For large surfaces there are automatic cleaning machines that scrub (with soft brushes or a red pad) and vacuum in a continous process. This is equivalent to wet-cleaning. A suitable cleaning maintainer is added to the water in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s instructions. The vacuuming process must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions so that the film of maintainer is allowed to form. 3 3/Deep cleansing Deep-cleansing at regular intervals is sometimes necessary if the stains are very stubborn and difficult to remove with normal daily cleaning. The intervals have to be decided individually on the basis of the type and frequency of traffic. Do not use any deep-cleansing products other than those specifically suitable for the type of floorcovering. Deep-cleansing is carried out, after the deepcleansing mixture has been applied (water and deep-cleanser, maximum pH-value 10), using an automatic or single-disc cleaning machine with the relevant pad. After the wet dirt/slurry has been vacuumed up, the floor should be rinsed twice with clear water and left to dry completely. 3 4/Care and cleaning of conductive floorcoverings Conductive floorcoverings do not have any PUR coating. Please observe our separate cleaning recommendations, which are available by calling our Technical Department on 01235 554848. 3 5/ Additional measures in buildings with public access 5.1 Primary barrier matting Grid mats in the entrance must cover the whole width of the door so that nobody can by-pass them on one side. The length of the mat should be two to three strides, or about 150 cm. If at all possible, open or moving mats should be selected. 5.2 Secondary mats Textile style mats should be placed in the entrance area beyond the primary matting in order to protect the floorcovering from fine dirt, dust and moisture. They are easy to clean and will reduce cleaning costs considerably whilst improving the appearance and service life of the floorcovering. 3 6/ Special tips 6.1 Discolouration After long periods of contact, rubber, especially if it is black, can leave discolouration marks behind which cannot be removed. Possible causes are: car tyres, castors and feet on washing machines, refrigerators and prams. Discolouration of this kind is not caused directly but by the migration of substances followed by exposure to light. To avoid this soft castors made of polyurethane must be used, and if this is not possible we recommend the use of small protective mats. Hair colorants and disinfectants containing a powerful colorant can also damage the floorcovering permanently if they are not removed immediately. 6.2 Office chairs/furniture Office chairs must be fitted with castors suitable for use on resilient floorings the Type W as defined in EN 12529, i.e. with soft castors or at least soft pads such as felt pads or FloorCare protectors. To avoid damage to floors in schools and other buildings with public access, it must be ensured that the contact surfaces of chairs and other pieces of furniture are rounded and have no sharp edges. This should be borne in mind when new furniture is being bought and used. 6.3 Burn marks Smouldering cigarette-ends can leave burn marks on vinyl floorcoverings, so they should not be laid in public houses, cafés or similar places where this kind of damage can be expected. Linoleum and rubber flooring is less vulnerable to cigarette burn marks. 6.4 General These recommendations are based on our general practical experience and on the latest state of cleaning technology as far as we could be aware of it at the time of issue. However, we cannot bear legal liability in any individual circumstance for their interpretation or use beyond our control.
