Installation Tips
Protective Blue Surface Film
- R-Flor incorporates a factory fitted protective blue surface film to provide additional protection against surface moisture ingress during period of exposure to weather.
- Protective film is designed to be peeled away prior to surface finishing.
- R-Flor is an ideal base for fixing moisture sensitive decorative timber strip flooring; the protective film provides an effective barrier in keeping moisture out and under control.
Taping of Joins
- Taping of joins between sheets with an all-weather "duct" tape not only provides protection against moisture ingress at joins but also can reduce edge swelling of the flooring sheet, reducing or eliminating the need to sand edges prior to finishing.
Draining of surface water during weather exposure stage
- R-Flor can be drilled (in positions which will eventually be covered by wall plates, cupboards or skirting) to assist with water evacuation. Remove any water that ponds on surface by sweeping or mopping.
Mid/Upper Floor Use
- The use of R-Flor in mid-floors (and roof sheathing) applications may enable further reductions in energy consumption to be achieved and by reducing energy consumption per unit area (MJ/m²), this may provide the designer greater design flexibility.
Safety
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Wear suitable clothing, gloves (light duty leather or equivalent AS 2161), and eye protection (dust resistant AS/NZS 1337). If sawing without adequate dust extraction, respiratory protection dust mask must be worn (AS/NZS 1715 & 1716). Keep work areas clean by wet sweeping and/or vacuuming. Wash work clothes regularly and separately from other clothes. Remove any water that ponds on surface by sweeping or mopping and use caution when working on wet/moist platforms. |
