Installation Guide of EPDM Flooring
Installing EPDM flooring requires attention to detail and following proper steps to ensure a high-quality result. It is crucial to follow this installation guide to ensure the EPDM flooring is installed correctly and delivers optimal performance in the long run.
Suitable substrates include but are not limited to permanently dried concrete and wood.
To eliminate the telegraphing effect of defects in the substrate through the flooring, the substrate must be smooth.
Before laying EPDM Rubber Flooring, cleaning the surface is important. The steps are:
Remove the debris
Sweep the floor
Wash with water
Keep it dry after cleaning
Mix binder and buffing properly and later spread rubber buffing at equal portions throughout the surface. Maintain the ratio of binder and rubber buffing throughout the process. Otherwise, the layer could be too hard or too soft.
Commence design marking with chalk after the rubber buffing layer is semi-dried. The design could be anything and make sure it is not too complicated. The marking is important as different coloured granules can be easily applied.
EPDM granules are mixed thoroughly with a binder and laid as per design. Maintain a proper ratio of granules and binder in this process. After that, they are levelled with the tapping of a wood trowel and screed.
After completion, the flooring will be kept idle for 4 to 5 days depending on the weather.
