Installation
SO CAPPING should be allowed to acclimatise for 24 hours prior to installation at an ambient temperature of 18o Celsius.
- It should be ensured that all surfaces to which the profile is to be fixed are sound, dry, flat and free from any contaminants. Wall surfaces should be free from any previous coverings, linings or adhesive residues used to fix them. Paint films and any mould must be removed and the affected surface treated correctly.
- Lay the lengths of cove former around the perimeter of the area and, using a sharp knife or hacksaw, cut the lengths to size.
- All external and internal corners should be cut with the aid of a mitre block.
- Once cut, remove the profile away from the wall and lay face down.
- Apply a suitable contact adhesive and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application. SO Flooring Products do not recommend the use of spray adhesives and double-sided tapes.
- Place the profile in position, apply firm pressure along the full length to ensure full contact is made by the profile between the wall and the floor.
