3. Adhesive

Adhesives recommended: pressure sensitive, water based acrylate glue, like Henkel Ceresit K 188E or Uzin KE 2000S or Mapei Ultrabond Eco 4LVT or other brands equivalent with these. Consumption of glue: cca. 250 gr/m2 / spatula A1 in case of absorbent sub-floor and cca. 200 gr/m2 / spatula A4 in case of non-absorbent sub-floor. In case of wet areas use 2-component PUR adhesives, like Henkel Ceresit R 710, Uzin KR 430, Mapei Adesilex G19.

4. Laying on well prepared, levelled plain subfloors

• LVT planks and tiles are to be installed generally parallel to the main light source. • Measure the size of the room and mark the straight starting line of the installation.

CAUTON! For best result use a steel ruler to start first row. The distance of the starting line from the deepest part of the wall should be minimum the width of the plank minus 2-3 cm, or multiple of the width of the plank minus 2-3 cm.

• Coat the adhesive on the subfloor with the spatula, coated surface should be practically max. 3-4 rows at the same time and wait until the adhesive will be dry. Make finger test! Follow the instructions of the glue manufacturer.

• Plank LVT should be installed by offsetting method. Starting on the starting line, place the plank pieces side by side, glue them on the subfloor, and closely fit the edges of the planks to each other. Roll down the plank glued down by hand with cork rubber. If the last plank is longer then needed, mark and cut the plank installing the cut end next to the wall.

• The remainder of the plank can be used to start the next row if its length is minimum 30 cm.

• After gluing roll down well the planks with a steel roller 50-70 kg in all direction, forward and back and diagonally.

• Let 2-3 mm dilatation gap at the walls. • Prepare the skirting at the walls. Skirting can be the same LVT, or

wood, or metallic, which is in harmony with the design of LVT. • Use silicone seals at the joints of LVT and skirting around the walls.
