Product Description |
|
GreenFloors solid,
homogeneous, thermoplastic, Vinyl Recycled Wall Base is constructed of first
quality raw materials for indoor use in commercial and residential
applications. Vinyl Recycled Wall Base is flexible, which not only makes
installations fast and economical, but it helps conceal floor and wall
irregularities. It is extruded and molded to provide a tough finish to
resist scuffing and gouging. The color is homogeneous throughout the entire
thickness of the Recycled Wall Base. The surface texture is an appealing
unique matte finish to ensure an attractive juncture of floors and walls.
GreenFloors Vinyl Recycled Wall Base is available in several different
colors, which allows color coordination with our Recycled Stair Treads.

Product Limitations |
GreenFloors Vinyl
Recycled Wall Base is not to be installed over non-porous surfaces such as
vinyl or rubber wall coverings, laminated masonite, plastic laminates, or
non-porous paints. DO NOT install Recycled Wall Base on outside walls in
contact with the ground if moisture or alkali is present. This product is
for indoor use only. DO NOT install Recycled Wall Base on any surface that
will be exposed to moisture or extreme temperature changes. GreenFloors
Recycled Wall Base may be stained if it is allowed to remain in contact with
products that may contain staining ingredients such as tires, casters, and
walk-off mats. Fading can occur from extensive exposure to heavy direct or
glass-filtered sunlight, or unfiltered ultra-violet rays. Ensure any
disinfectant, cleaning agent, dye, floor care product, pesticide, or other
chemical (solid, liquid, or gas) that may come in contact with the Recycled
Wall Base will not produce permanent discoloration and/or damage to the
Recycled Wall Base. The Recycled Wall Base is not to come in contact with
direct heat, such as radiators, hot ovens, or other heated equipment. Color
selections must be made from actual samples as exact matching of color or
shade may vary. |

Installation- |
General Preparation and Conditioning |
Read the literature
concerning the product description, product limitations, wall surface
inspection, adhesive information, adhesive application and product
installation procedures, and warranty before installation. The installation
area, Recycled Wall Base, and adhesive are to be maintained between 65° f
and 85° f for at least 48 hours before installation, during installation,
and 48 hours after the installation. Maintain room temperatures between 55°
f and 95° f thereafter. Proceed with the installation only when the
conditions are proper and correct. Inspect all material for proper type and
color. A bond test should be performed at least 72 hours prior to the
scheduled installation to ensure the surface is suitable. There should be
extreme difficulty in removing the Recycled Wall Base from the surface. If
the back of the Recycled Wall Base becomes soiled prior to installation,
clean with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, rinse,
let dry. |
|
Wall Surface Inspection
|
All surfaces should be
inspected prior to installation. Use only on structurally sound interior
wall surfaces such as dry plaster, cured drywall, exterior grade plywood
(Group 1, CC type), concrete, and masonry that are clean, smooth, dry, and
structurally sound. All surfaces must be free from moisture, alkali, old
adhesive, dust dirt, wax, oil, grease, loose paint, or plaster, non-porous
wall coverings or paints, and other extraneous coatings or materials that
could prevent a successful bond. Plaster and cement must be thoroughly dry
and cured. Any rough or uneven surfaces may telegraph through the Recycled
Wall Base. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for any patching
materials. Warning: When removing old Recycled Wall Base or
adhesives, unless they can be positively identified not to contain hazardous
materials, you must presume the materials may contain hazardous materials.
Follow the recommended practices for the proper removal and disposal of the
materials. |

Adhesive Application and Product
Installation |
Spread adhesive
with a 1/8” sawtooth spreader evenly on the back of the base or wall
surface. DO NOT spread adhesive within _” from the top of the Recycled Wall
Base. Caution:
DO NOT STRETCH the Recycled Wall Base. The Recycled Wall Base can be
stretched while rolling and will later return to its original length causing
gaps at the seams. Note:
It is important to always roll the base in the direction toward the last
piece installed. This practice will ensure a tight fit at the seams. Bond
the base to the wall within 15 minutes after adhesive application and
lightly roll with a hand Recycled Wall Base roller. Periodically check the
back of the Recycled Wall Base to make sure good adhesive transfer occurs.
At least 80% of the base must be covered with adhesive. Adhesive open time
will vary upon the type of surface, temperature of the surface, ambient
temperature, humidity, and proper conditioning of the adhesive. When using
an adhesive cartridge with the existing cartridge nozzle in a standard
caulking gun, cut the plastic tip diagonally to produce a bead of adhesive
_” in diameter. When using the cartridge in an applicator with custom
spreader heads, cut the plastic tip to a length of _” or less. Puncture the
tab at the bottom of the nozzle with a screwdriver or other appropriate
tool. Apply even pressure to the trigger to produce an even flow of
adhesive. Whether using the existing nozzle or custom spreader heads, use 2
beads for 2 _”, 3 beads for 4”, and 5 beads for 6” Recycled Wall Base.
Pre-formed inside and outside corners are to be installed prior to the
Recycled Wall Base using a 1/8” sawtooth spreader. If not using pre-formed
corners, the Recycled Wall Base can be formed around outside corners and
mitered for inside corners in the conventional manner by forming on the job.
To form an inside corner, cut a groove approximately 1/32” deep and _’ wide
on the back of the Recycled Wall Base, make outside cuts on the toe of the
Recycled Wall Base at 45° angles, apply adhesive, fold it at a 90° angle
then fit it firmly into place in the corner. To form an outside corner, cut
a groove approximately 1/32” deep and _” wide on the back of the Recycled
Wall Base, apply adhesive, and fit firmly into place around the corner. DO
NOT disturb the installed Recycled Wall Base for 48 hours after installation
to allow the adhesive to properly set up. Maintain the temperature between
55° f and 95° f thereafter. On non-porous wall surfaces, a water base
contact bond adhesive should be used. |
|
Product Maintenance |
Some disinfectants,
cleaning agents, floor maintenance products, and pesticides may stain or
damage the surface of the Recycled Wall Base.
Clean the Recycled Wall Base with a soft cloth dampened with a neutral pH
cleaner and warm water solution. Rinse sparingly with water. |
