Detailed Installation Instructions may be found in the FLEXISURF Install section/booklet.

Where To Install: Flexisurf sheet or tiles may be installed on any clean, dry hard interior or exterior surface. Flexisurf sheet or tiles may be installed bonded or unbonded. A completely flat and smooth subfloor will produce the most satisfactory results.

When to Install: Flexisurf should be fully acclimated before installation. Installation should not begin until the work of all other trades has been completed and the area cleared of extraneous materials. If the job conditions are such that the floor must be installed before other trades have completed their work, the installed flooring should be covered with a suitable protective covering.

Characteristics: Flexisurf sheet or tiles are batch sensitive and directional. If additional material may be required in the future, it is advisable to purchase it with the initial order. Each sheet or tile is marked with the machine direction with the exception of the Interlocking Tiles.

Layout and Design: Flexisurf sheet and 24” square cut tiles are recommended to be installed in a staggered-joint pattern whenever possible. A dry layout prior to adhering and/or seam sealing is recommended for all installations.

Edging: Flexisurf sheet comes pre-edged; however, it is always advisable to check the edges before installing. In certain situations, to achieve tighter seams, it may be necessary to trim the sides and/or ends of Flexisurf. The material cuts best, one sheet at a time using a utility knife and metal straight edge.

Recommended Adhesive: Based upon numerous tests and field reports, Yemm & Hart recommends using a specially blended 2-part epoxy adhesive for the most successful installation. A bond test is always recommended before the installation process begins. The only adhesive recommended is available from Yemm & Hart.

Material Handling: Flexisurf, a heavy flexible material, is not difficult to install if the material is dry fit on the properly prepared subfloor. Adhesive application is simply achieved by peeling back half of the sheet, spreading the adhesive, laying the material into the adhesive and repeating the process for the other half of the sheet. Flexisurf 24” x 24” square cut tiles should be fully adhered for a satisfactory installation.

Further Details: The booklet/section titled, FLEXISURF Install, discusses in detail, such topics as adhesive preparation, spread rates, open times and pressure rolling. Flexisurf seams can be welded with PVC cold-welding solution or heat welded with special equipment. Subsurface preparation, layout, design, adhesive application, chemical/heat seam sealing, drains and decoration are discussed thoroughly in the FLEXISURF Install section/booklet.

Warranty: Yemm & Hart offers a 2-year warranty on Flexisurf material if properly installed.
