PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.01 VINYL COMPOSITION TILE
Comply with FS SS-T-312(1), Type IV, Asbestos-free, 12" x 12" x 1/8" gauge tile equal to Azrock Custom Cortina.
Color: to be selected by Architect, from manufacturer's standard cost and color range.
2.02 SHEET VINYL
Vinyl sheet flooring emits fumes of carcinogenic vinyl chloride. Linoleum is a preferred material.
2.03 WALL BASE, STAIR STRINGERS, AND STAIR TREAD, LANDING AND RISER COVERS
An economical approach is to use rubber on the stair treads and landings and vinyl risers and stringers. Vinyl wall base shrinks more than rubber and should be avoided if in direct sun. Products listed are examples only. Select to suit project.
Products are to be from a single manufacturer to insure color matching. References are to Johsonite products.
Base and Stringers: Vinyl, FS SS-W-40a, Type II; 1/8" gauge; with matching stops and [field-made][preformed] corner units; [top-set cove base at floors finished with resilient flooring][straight base without cove at floors finished with carpet]. Heights indicated in Drawings and Room Finish Schedule.
Treads: Rubber, Type VIRH, Composition A, square nosed, 0.210" thick at nosing tapering to 0.113" at edge abutting flooring, Roundel-round pattern, with contrasting 2" abrasive strip insert at nose. Provide all single-piece units for width of stair.
Riser Covers: Vinyl, FS SS-W-40a, Type II; min. 1/8" gauge. Provide all single-piece units for width of stair.
Intermediate Landing Cover: Rubber, FS SS-T-312b Type II, 24" x 24", 0.125" thick, Roundel-round pattern.
Colors: Selected by Architect, from manufacturer's standard cost and color range.
2.05 ADHESIVE AND ACCESSORIES

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 WASTE MANAGEMENT
Collect and place product packaging in designated containers.
Separate and recycle offcuts and waste materials in accordance to the maximum extent economically feasible. Place any materials defined as hazardous or toxic waste in designated containers.
Close and seal tightly all partly used sealant and adhesive containers and store protected in well ventilated fire-safe area at moderate temperature. Place used sealant and adhesive tubes and containers in areas designated for hazardous waste.
3.02 INSTALLATION
General: Comply with flooring manufacturer's recommendations for types of materials, project conditions and intended use.
Clean floors and apply leveling compound and substrate primer if required, in accordance with flooring manufacturer's instruction.
Vinyl Tile: Lay tile flooring from center marks established with principal walls; adjust as required to avoid use of cut units less than 1/2 tile wide at perimeter. Match tiles for color and pattern by using in the manufactured and packaged sequence. Lay tile in “checkerboard” pattern with grain reversed in adjacent tiles.
Install resilient edge strips at edges of flooring which would otherwise be exposed.
Base: Allow coiled base to lay flat for at least 24 hours before installation. Apply in lengths as long as practical to walls, pilasters and other permanent fixtures. For field-made outside corners use contact adhesive for approximately 18" from corners, rolled firmly into place. Mitered outside corners are not acceptable. On masonry or other irregular surfaces, fill voids behind base and along top edge with the manufacturer's recommended adhesive filler.
Tread and Riser covers: Install strictly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fill any depressions and voids at nosing with epoxy caulking compound.
3.03 CLEANING
Thoroughly sweep or vacuum all floors to remove loose dirt and grit. Allow 72 hours after installation before cleaning all floors and accessories, using neutral cleaners as recommended by manufacturer. Apply protective polish as recommended by manufacturer.
