FINISHED FLOOR GUARD
Protective, re-usable, non-woven with slip-resistant tacky rear side. Padded for protection against scratches and dents. May be used on any surface.
Place plastic-firm (glossy-side) upwards to protect against penetration by paints and liquids; Do not pull off the plastic film!
Overlap the seams by 2”- 4”. Tape the seams, especially in high traffic areas or on stairs, to avoid the risk of tripping.
- On full-surface-glue-down installations, the glue must be completely dry and cured. Follow glue manufacturers guidelines on chosen glue of complete curing times.
- New finishes on hardwood floors must be completely dry and cured. Follow finish manufacturers guidelines on chosen finish for complete curing times.
- Surface must be totally clean and dry before rolling out Finish Floor Guard. Do not allow any moisture to be trapped underneath. Moisture trapped under Finish Floor Guard will not evaporate and may cause stains.
- Never use on newly laid porous stone or tile floors. Rising moisture could cause stains.
- Covering up wood flooring with solid sheet goods, such as Masonite or plywood, while at the same time running the in-floor radiant heat can trap the heat and overheat or “cook” wood flooring resulting in damage to the wood. Do not engage the in-floor radiant heat when wood flooring is covered with sheet goods.
- Finish Floor Guard can be used with in-floor radiant heat (with no additional sheet goods applied). The National Wood Flooring Association guidelines for maximum wood floor surface temperatures (85f) should never be exceeded.
- There could be a shading difference caused by the sun on new floors in areas where the floor is covered and areas where it is not covered. To avoid these shadows, cover the floor area completely.
