SYSTEMS FOR INSTALLING LVT’S
The increasing quality and variety of Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVTs) and their suitability for a wide range of settings has seen their appeal continue to grow.
Given customers’ high expectations for finished results, it is useful to know about steps that flooring contractors should follow and products to use to ensure a flawless finish when installing them.
For this reason, F. Ball has developed its ‘System LVT’ range, which comprises waterproof surface membranes, primers and levelling compounds.
Used correctly and in combination, System LVT products will guarantee an aesthetically pleasing, durable floor finish when installing LVTs.

FIRST STEPS The first step in any flooring installation should be to check that the subfloor is suitably sound, smooth and dry. To avoid costly floor failure, any laitance and contaminants should be mechanically removed before proceeding with a flooring installation.

levels with certainty, and the method advocated by British Standards, is to use a calibrated hygrometer. Where subfloor Relative Humidity (RH) levels are higher than 75%, a moisture management solution will be required to prevent moisture attacking flooring adhesives and causing resilient floorcoverings to blister and lift.

Stopgap F78 will create an effective barrier against residual construction moisture, where relative humidity values are up to 95%, with two coats. The first coat cures in 15-20 minutes. A further 30 minutes curing time is required for the second coat. This second coat will also provide a primed finish to receive a smoothing underlayment directly (within 12hrs of it drying).

PRIMING In most cases, the next step in the subfloor preparation process should be to prime the subfloor. When used over non-absorbent surfaces, such as epoxy waterproof surface membranes, primers promote adhesion between the subfloor and the levelling compound applied over it. Applied over absorbent subfloors, they also stop the unacceptably rapid drying of levelling compounds. Priming also prevents ‘pinholing’.
