Allura Puzzle Installation Guidance Note.pdf

Allura Puzzle installation guidance notes emphasize acclimatization, proper subfloor preparation, and adherence to national codes of practice for resilient floor coverings. Key points include:
- Install up to 2000 sqm without expansion joints over rigid subfloors.
- Full adherence is advised in areas exposed to excessive moisture.
- Prevent excessive moisture on the floor.
- Conduct moisture tests on all substrates.
- Ensure subfloors are clean, smooth, sound, even, and permanently dry.
- Maintain a steady temperature of at least 18°C for 48 hours prior to, during, and after installation.
- Check tiles for correct color, batch number, and quantity before installation.
- Use material from the same batch/dye lot to avoid visible shade differences.
- Allura Puzzle can be installed fully loose laid up to 2000 sqm, but areas over 2000 sqm or subject to heavy traffic require consultation with a local Forbo technician.
- Acceptable substrates include new or existing concrete, wood panel, ceramics tiles, old in-situ floor finishes, and old compact resilient floor coverings, among others.
- Specific preparation requirements apply to each substrate type, including application of smoothing and levelling compounds, primers, and surface damp proof membranes where necessary.
