AFTER INSTALL ATION
HARD WA X PRODUCTS
ON COMPLETION OF THE INSTALL ATION
• Inspect the floor from a standing position in non-reflected light.
• Sweep or vacuum the floor.
• DO NOT WASH THE FLOOR WITH ANY LIQUID FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS AFTER INSTALLATION IS
COMPLETE.
• 2 weeks after installation the floor may be cleaned using the OSMO wash and care cleanser with a
microfiber mop.
• DO NOT use steam assisted cleaning mops to clean the floor; they will cause damage to the floor and void
the product warranty.
• Perform a visual inspection of the installation with the homeowner or site supervisor.
• Ensure the homeowner or site supervisor is cognizant of the need to maintain heat and humidity at the
required levels at all times
• Ensure the homeowner or site supervisor has been given a copy of the Kentwood care & maintenance
guidelines (available online at kentwoodfloors.com)
• Complete the installation record form for future reference
If the floor is not being put into use immediately, the use of a floor protection membrane is strongly
recommended. Use a material with a Perm Class 3 vapor permeance rating to avoid trapping moisture/
vapor on or within the floor. When using floor protection, be sure to:
• Cover the entire floor to avoid exposing a partial area to sunlight causing an uneven color change
• Overlap the seams of the membrane and tape them to each other. Never tape the membrane directly to the
floor.
• Run membrane to the perimeter walls and tape to the base or shoe mouldings using low adhesion masking
tape.
24 HOURS AFTER INSTALL ATION
• Install a floor protection membrane where appropriate (see above)
• If the flooring was installed over a radiant heating system, bring the temperature of the system up gradually,
in 5
O
F (2
O
C) increments per day. NWFA recommends that an outside thermostat be installed to prevent
sudden temperature swings in the floor assembly. Never allow the surface temperature of the floor to exceed
82
O
F (28
O
C) and avoid dramatic temperature changes; always adjust the system gradually in 5

increments per day. It is recommended that a dedicated thermostat be installed to allow the temperature of
the radiant heating system to be accurately controlled.
