Direct Glue-Down Installation Carpet Installation Check List 1. Newly poured concrete floors generally will take 90 to 120 days to cure. Moisture should not exceed 5 lbs./1000sf per 24 hours as determined by a calcium chloride test per ASTM F1869, or 80% relative humidity per ASTM F2170. If the results are more than 5 lbs. or higher than 80%, do not proceed with the installation. Contact Field Services at 1.888.387.9881.
Required Equipment The following items may be purchased from a local carpet workroom supplier: • NuBroadlok Adhesive • NuBroadlok Seam Sealer • Cushion Back Cutter or Top Cutter • 1/8" x 1/8" x 1/8" U-notched Trowel or 1/8" x 1/8" x 1/16" V-notched Trowel • 75–100 lb.
Roll Sequencing Rolls of patterned carpet must be sequenced so the longest pattern is installed first and the roll with the next longest pattern can be stretched to match the longer one. This procedure is critical, because it is impossible to shrink a longer pattern to match a shorter pattern. This requires each roll be measured for pattern repeat prior to installation. See specific pattern elongation installation procedures below.
. The remaining portion of the first breadth can now be folded or rolled back from the floor. Apply NuBroadlok to the floor; wait until the adhesive has reached the proper tacky stage before dropping the carpet into place. Be sure to have enough people spreading the adhesive so that, after the floor is covered with adhesive, each breadth is in place within the determined period of open time. 6.
