Use & Care Manual

Use & Care Manual
HYDROSTOP / COLORS

1. CLEANING
• Be sure to clean your floor regularly with the recommended Cleaning Product for all our floors: Deco Products™ REVIVER Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner.
• Remove all dirt and dust with a soft broom or a vacuum cleaner with the correct hard surface attachment - never a rotating brush, floor scrubbers, jet mops, buffers or similar products.
• Clean with water and the appropriate cleaning product. Do not use aggressive cleaning products, soap, abrasive cleaners or cleaning agents that contain wax or oil. We recommend using a well-rung wet mop or a cloth.
• After washing allow your floor the time to completely dry.

 


2. STAINS
• Start removing stains as soon as possible, with a well-wrung, slightly damp cloth. Worn-in stains are difficult to remove.
• For wine, grease, juice and chocolate stains, use lukewarm water and our recommended non-abrasive cleaner.
• Crayon, nail polish, tar, markers, lipstick, ink and cigarette burns can be removed using nail polish remover or denatured alcohol.
• For chewing gum or candle wax scrape carefully with a blunt plastic scraper.
• The pet stains of any kind from domestic cats or dogs need to be cleaned within 24 hours to avoid floor damage.

 


3. PROTECTION AND PREVENTION
• As a good practice, avoid bringing dirt, sand, grit, and substances such as oil or asphalt indoors by placing non-rubber-backed carpets and doormats at all entrances. Using rubber-backed mats as long-lasting contact with the rubber can cause permanent stains on the floor surface.
• Avoid cigarettes, matches, or other very hot items to get in contact with the floor as this may cause permanent damage.
• Try to not drag or slide heavy objects across the floor. When moving appliances or heavy furniture it is always wise to lay cloths, towels, plywood panel, or similar, on your floor and “walk” the item across it. This protects your floor from scuffing, gouging, cracks and tears.
• Always apply appropriate protection to the legs of the furniture. Avoid using colored floor protectors. www.decoproductsglobal.com
Deco Products™ brand and logo are trademarks property of Deco Products Global LLC
• Apply freely rotating, non-rubber wheels to chairs with castors and/or use
protective matting.
• Please bear in mind that pets with sharp nails can leave scratches on the floor.
• Never use a steam mop or wet-mop as standing water may cause permanent damage and the heat from the steam mop may dull the finish. The moisture from the dampened mop should evaporate off the floor quickly
• Although Deco Products™ Vinyl Plank Flooring is waterproof, it is still a best practice to avoid excess moisture on the floor. Therefore, we recommend soaking up spills immediately using a dry towel or dry mop.
• To clean up dried glue we recommend using either Bostik Ultimate Adhesive Remover or Titebond Adhesive Remover cleaning wipes.
• We recommend as Cleaning Product for all our floors: Deco Products™ REVIVER Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner.
• Vacuum or sweep the floor with a broom or dust mop on a regular basis or as needed to remove dirt, sand, or grit to protect it from scratches. Be careful of other debris such as small rocks and pebbles being drug across the floor.
• Do not use vacuums that use a beater bar or turn beater bar off; brush or felt vacuum heads are recommended as opposed to hard heads.
• To prevent indentations and scratches periodically check the felt tips for wear or buildup of grit/debris and replace as needed.
• Area rugs are also recommended in front of kitchen sinks and in high traffic areas. Rugs must be made of a breathable material to prevent moisture entrapment. We recommend using a breathable rug underlay; mesh or grid patterns are best.
• Abrasive or harsh chemicals should not be used to clean the floor. Never use any of the following products on the floor: mineral spirits, paint thinner, acetone, ammonia-based cleaners, acrylic finishes, wax-based products, detergents, bleach, polishes, oil soap, abrasive cleaning soaps, or acidic materials such as vinegar. Never apply wax treatments to the floor.
• For light surface scratches, use WearMax Scratch Concealer. If the scratch has penetrated the vinyl wear layer and the decorative film layer is exposed, plank replacement is recommended.
• Limit direct sunlight on the floor by using curtains and blinds in areas that are exposed to high UV rays.

  • Base floor should be dry and firm while dust, oil, and wax free.
    Controlling the humidity will create a better atmosphere for floor.

  • Planks can be installed over concrete, plywood, and ceramic tiles, which have been properly prepared before. If plywood, make sure all nails be inside, and if tiles be sure to fill possible floor grooves stuffing them with gypsum or a similar compound to get a completely flat surface.

  • This is an indoor floor product or outdoor on well covered and protected areas with roof larger than the floor zone.

  • If the installation area could be subiect to heat above 105°F (41°C)

  • please choose a high temperature adhesive.

  • The best temperature for installation is between 61°F (16C°) and 81°F (27°C). The lower the temperature, the more difficult the installation because planks becomes less flexible

​​

​

​

INSTALLATION TIPS

​

  • If you want to get a feeling of greater amplitude, we recommend installing the planks with the same sunlight or entrance direction.

  • Create same colors baseboards for walls cutting the planks in half by its longer side.

  • Purchasing 10 % extra for waste or future repairs is recommended

SIMPLE STEPS FOR A GOOD INSTALLATION

​

  1. Draw a straight line on the floor passing by the center of the area, and then make a second parallel line creating a section of about 4 planks wide to be glued with a pressure sensitive adhesive for Vinyl Flooring LVT. Before using the adhesive, please read on detail the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. Start spreading the reccomended amount evenly over the subfloor letting it tack-off until it reaches its best bonding power. Be carefull and avoid to spread adhesive on a section greater than can be processed within the working time on vour area

  3. Take and lay the planks, over the tacked-off adhesive, so it will be fully transfered onto the planks backing, and immediately press them with a heavy rubbing or roller in all directions while the adhesive is activated.

  4. Use a damp cloth to wipe possible adhesive excess

  5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until the entire installation is completed

​

FLOOR CARE & MAINTENANCE

​

Moderate maintenance can extend the useful life of the floor. Depending on the amount and type of traffic, floor should be cleaned more often or less Thanks to its protective film on the surface layer, our floors are protected against common wear. Then, additional surface protectives are not necessary to apply.

​

  • For remove daily dirt use: Dry mopping, Sweeping, Vacuum, and/or
    Common traditional light-wet mop

  • For stain removal use: Damp cloth, Hand pad.

​

On high traffic areas, and to extend the life of our floors, we strongly recommend to install a large Entrance Mat, that will work as a clean-off area reducing soiling because will remove abrasive materials from foot traffic. As often as possible clean the entrance mat so that it functions properly. You can start cleaning your new floor after a week in order to give the adhesive enough time to be complete dry and stick.

RECOMMENDED TIPS

​

  • If this is a multi-Tonal model the most important thing to do before installing any type of flooring is to open as many boxes as possible. Why? Because with high variation flooring, you're going to have different shades and colors across your boxes. To truly make the right statement with your flooring, open as many boxes as possible to first look at what you have. Lay out the planks temporarily to see how the colors will line up. This is where you can get creative. With high variation flooring, you want to avoid having two similar-looking planks installed next to each other (this point applies only for multi-tonal high variation models)

  • Install confident on all grade levels / temperature controlled. Can be use for residential and light

  • Carmercien Interior use onlv. It use on exteriors should be on a non-wet zone an under root beyond all the coverino area.

    any other reason, and should be determine to use them, hide in areas like closets, trim oft the imperfection, or not install them at all.

  • The basements, and garages should be dry and ventilated.

  • 5% waste is recommended to add for cutting above the actual square footage.

  • An extra box is also recommended that you retain for future repairs (when required].

  • On very large areas, leave at least 1/4" for expansion space. And must be placed between the flooring and all vertical obstructions (door jams, walls, staircases, posts, pipes, fixtures, etc.].
    underneath

  • Planks should not be glued, and can not screwed, nailed, or otherwise fixed (e.g. closet track, door stopper,] to the subfloor in any way. It must have room to expand and contract freely.

  • Can be installed in light-wet areas but can not be installed in exterior wet areas like patios or exteriors unless the outdoor area be below a root.

  • Be sure that subfloors be Clean, Dry and Flat. If found differences in floor flatness must either be sanded or ground down, or built-up with a suitable floor leveling material because improper substrate or flatness can result in gaps, or poor plank fitting during assembly.
