Notes:
1. The maximum allowable UDL is calculate based on two criteria
i Allowable stress criteria
ii. Deflection criteria
* In all the cases the governing case is deflection criteria
2. Everest Floor solutions are applicable where there is no heavy impact/dynamic load is
coming and must not be applied to places where steel or hard resin type wheels are
used in material handling equipment.
3. The Everest Floor Solution must be used with support along all the four edges of the
boards laid with uniform gap between two adjacent boards.
• For up to a 2 mm gap between the boards, epoxy adhesive must be used
between the two boards.
• For more than 2 mm gap between the boards, a leveling bed of mortar layer /
adhesive should be applied to the clean and dry sub-floor, using a square
notched trowel.
Everest does not recommend support along two edges/single side only. In case
the four side supports is not possible, provisions for additional support be made
as per the direction and instruction of structural engineer.
4. Suitable treatment must be done to prevent the creaking sound
• The point of contact of the boards and the support frame must be fixed with
flexible substance/film (Butyl tape, Neoprene, rubber pad), to prevent creaking
sound and also prevent damage to the board edges.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
FRAMEWORK DETAILS TECHNICAL DETAIL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
sEverest Floor Boards / Heavy Duty Floor Boards are to be installed perpendicular to the
supporting beams i.e. long side of the board across the direction of main supporting
beams.
sWhile laying, boards should be staggered length wise, by half their length, ensuring edges
to come over the supporting beams. The board is to be screwed @ 300mm centers by
drilling an oversize hole to allow expansion. In addition to screwing, in case of moderate to
heavy traffic- it is always better to bond the joints with alkaline resistant adhesives as this
will hold the panels more firmly and increase overall rigidity.
sThe supporting beams should be tight fixed with no scope of twisting since screw may
become loose due to heavy traffic loads. The supporting profiles should be fixed straight,
non-twisting type and not in round or curved shape.
sBoards should be fixed with uniform gap of 2-3mm at the joints. However a gap of
minimum 5mm must be left on all the surrounding i.e. periphery of the floor next on the
wall for the allowance of expansion. The gap should be filled with suitable flexible
expandable sealant.
sOnly completely Dry boards are to be used and it can be fixed on either steel or timber
supports depending upon the actual requirement of the site. The boards should not be
wet while laying and should be coated with 100% acrylic water based cement based-for
dry application and oil based primer-for wet applications on both the sides and edges,
before laying.
sFlooring done with Everest Floor or Everest Heavy Duty Floor boards should be covered
with floor coverings like PVC/Vinyl flooring, Carpets, Tiles etc for final finish.
Important Considerations:
sWhen the floor size exceeds 5m in either direction, a movement control Joint should be
provided through both the floor boards and coverings. Control joint is also must, where
the supporting structure has provisions for movement .
sTile should be fixed in a manner that allows it flexibility to accommodate some movement
that is inevitable in large framed structures. This can be achieved by (a) allowing a group
joint or flexible sealant of at least 3mm and (b) using a thick (3 to 6mm) bed of tile
adhesive.
sFor structural flooring suitable decking sheet must be used before fixing the boards, the
loading capacity would depend on the combination of the decking and the board
thickness, which would depend on the type of loading system.
sThe installation of the boards should be as per the Code pf Practice for Floor Solutions. The
load table should be referred for indicative purpose only and final design should be
approved by a certified structural engineer only.
Fixing
The installation of the boards would be as per the code of Practice for Floor Solutions. The
load table must be considered, before deciding on the type of flooring.
