TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND ACCLIMATISATION
Transport and store the cartons in laying position.
Packaged tiles, adhesive should be acclimatised at job site in dry,
well-ventilated area for a minimum of 48 hours so that flooring may
acclimate. Remove tiles from packages just before starting laying.
During storage and installation, maintain temperature and relative
humidity to level consistent with those conditions, which will prevail
when building is occupied. In most cases, this means maintaining
temperature range of 18ºC to 28ºC (65 F to 82F) and relative humidity
range of 35% to 65%. In order to reach this climate, use heating or air
conditioning for appropriate length of time prior to beginning
installation.
WICANDERS floorings are natural products and some shade variation
is an inherent and attractive characteristic. To achieve the most
pleasing blend of shades, shuffle before laying.
SITE INSPECTION
Prior to installation, please inspect
the tiles in daylight for any visible faults or damage, and also check
if the subfloor and site conditions are in accordance with the
specifications described within these instructions
