I. GENERAL CARE
A. Humidity and Ventilation
1. Humidity and ventilation are critical considerations for your floor. A relative humidity of 35-50% is required for the long, trouble-free life of your floor. Prompt air circulation is necessary whenever the humidity level rises above 50%. Be especially careful in the summer months and inspect your floors regularly. In the dryer months, if the humidity level drops below 35%, use humidification to prevent excessive dryness and possible wood shrinkage.
B. Control Air Conditioning and Humidity
1. Your air conditioning system should always be operating in the 35-50% range of normal relative humidity. You should also have ventilation equipment available year round.
C. Excessive Tightening
1. Call your flooring contractor immediately if excessive tightening of the floor becomes noticeable.
D. Joint Separation
1. Call your flooring contractor immediately if you begin to notice unusually wide cracks.
E. Keep Water Off the Floor Surface
1. During inclement weather, protect your floors from tracking at exterior doorways. Check your floor protection frequently to assure no moisture is trapped underneath. Correct all leaks immediately. Protect your floor from excessive condensation moisture by properly insulating interior drains and downspouts. Any dampness within your building should be brought to the attention of your architects and engineers.
F. Expansion Joints
1. Never block or obstruct the expansion joints around the perimeter of your floor or at columns and inserts of floating type floor systems. They have been engineered for natural expansion and contraction.
G. Anchoring Bleachers and/or Equipment
1. Make adequate expansion provisions in floating type floor systems before lagging fixtures, equipment or bleachers through the wood floor into concrete.
H. Steel Channel Floor System
1. This floor is designed to self contain expansion and does not require expansion voids when anchoring bleachers and equipment through flooring. This applies to the Sportlock system only.
II. DAILY CARE
A. Daily Sweeping
1. Use a dry dust mop to keep the floor free from dust, grit, sand and abrasive particles.
B. Floor Stains
1. Wipe up spillage immediately before it can be absorbed into the finish.
C. Removing Marks
1. Apply an approved floor cleaner with a soft cloth, lambswool applicator or dusting mop.
D. Avoid Using Water
1. Machine scrubbing or power machines that induce water under pressure should not be used.
