The subfloor must conform with the requirements of BS 8203:2001+A1:2009.

Adhesive

During Installation, excess adhesive should be removed with a cloth and neutral detergent (acrylic adhesive) or with alcohol (two component adhesives). Removal of excess adhesive should be done as work progresses and whilst the adhesive is still wet.

Welding
It is recommended that all Altro resilient flooring are hot welded.

Laying the Sheet
Altro resilient flooring can be straight laid or used in conjunction with “sit on” or “set in” skirtings. The materials can also be self-coved.
