DSLBD Office Fit Out - Broughton Construction Company

B. Match tiles for color and pattern by selecting tiles from cartons in the same sequence as manufactured and
packaged, if so numbered. Discard broken, cracked, chipped, or deformed tiles.
1. Lay tiles in pattern of colors and sizes indicated in drawings.
C. Static-Control Tiles: In each space where conductive solid vinyl floor tile is installed, install maintenance tile
identifying conductive floor tile in location approved by Architect.
3.5 SHEET FLOOR COVERINGS INSTALLATION
A. Unroll sheet floor coverings and allow them to stabilize before cutting and fitting.
B. Lay out sheet floor coverings as follows:
1. Maintain uniformity of floor covering direction.
2. Minimize number of seams; place seams in inconspicuous and low-traffic areas, at least 6 inches (152 mm)
away from parallel joints in floor covering substrates.
3. Match edges of floor coverings for color shading at seams.
4. Avoid cross seams.
C. Seamless Installation:
1. Heat-Welded Seams: Comply with ASTM F 1516. Rout joints and heat weld with welding bead to
permanently fuse sections into a seamless floor covering. Prepare, weld, and finish seams to produce
surfaces flush with adjoining floor covering surfaces.
2. Chemically Bonded Seams: Bond seams with chemical-bonding compound to permanently fuse sections
into a seamless floor covering. Prepare seams and apply compound to produce tightly fitted seams without
gaps, overlays, or excess bonding compound on floor covering surfaces.
D. Integral Flash Cove Base: Cove floor coverings 6 inches (152 mm) up vertical surfaces. Support floor coverings at
horizontal and vertical junction with cove strip. Butt at top against cap strip.
3.6 RESILIENT WALL BASE INSTALLATION
A. Apply wall base to walls, columns, pilasters, and other permanent fixtures in rooms and areas where base is required
in drawings.
B. Install wall base in lengths as long as practicable without gaps at seams and with tops of adjacent pieces aligned.
C. Tightly adhere wall base to substrate throughout length of each piece, with base in continuous contact with horizontal
and vertical substrates.
D. Do not stretch wall base during installation.
E. On masonry surfaces or other similar irregular substrates, fill voids along top edge of wall base with manufacturer's
recommended adhesive filler material.
F. Premolded Corners: Install premolded corners before installing straight pieces.
G. Job-Formed Corners:
1. Outside Corners: Use straight pieces of maximum lengths possible. Form without producing discoloration
(whitening) at bends. Shave back of base at points where bends occur and remove strips perpendicular to
length of base that are only deep enough to produce a snug fit without removing more than half the wall base
thickness.
