All areas Where Product Will be installed must have a working heat and air conditioning source, operational for a minimum of one week prior to installation and remain in operation during and after installation. Install flooring perpendicular to direct sunlight sources, including large windows, door walls, etc.Use of suitable window coverings during the times of most direct sunlight is strongly recommended. Conditions should be at the same temperature and humidity level expected during normal use. This item should be installed in an indoor, climate-controlled location between 65°﹣85°F（18°﹣29°C）. It should NEVER be installed outdoors. This item must be acclimated in climate-controlled locations for 24-48 hours before starting installation. Store cartons Iying flat at alltimes and protect from direct sunlight during acclimation. This item should only be installed after the jobsite has been cleaned and cleared of debris that could potentially damage a finished plank installation. During the installation, mix and install planks from several different cartons to minimize shade variation. The finished piank installation should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight. Do not use tapping blocks, adjustable spacers or other common to hardwood and laminated flooring installation. These tools will damaga the vinyl flooring and prevent proper locking of the joint mechanism. This item cannot be installed with full spread adhesives. The use of any sort of adhesive during the installation will void the product warranty.

**Improper accumulation of floating Market Place EVP may result in gapping bucking,or joints which are difficult to engage properly. Improper locking of the mechanism may cause one or more of the following conditions in your flooring; joints to be distressed resulting in a‘peaked’ appearance; delamination due to ledging; separation of joints from normal environmental temperature changes; cupping or side joint failures.

Responsibility for the suitability of Surface Source USA flooring and accompanying products for each individual installation cannot be assumed by Surface USA, since Surface Source USA has no control over the installer’s proper application. Should an individual plank or tile be doubtful as to appearance or dimension the installer should not use piece. Surface Source USA will send replacement in a timely fashion.

SUBFLOOR REQUIREMENTS

While Market Place EVP is water resistant, it is not a moisture barrier. It is still a good idea to make sure your concrete is cured and tested for moisture, and that a 6mil plastic moisture barrier is installed under the flooring. As for wooden sub floore make sure at least a 6mill plastic covers 100％ of the crawl space. Moisture won’t damaga Market Place EVP, but it can get in the walls and structure of the home. A couple of extra dollars and a few extra minutes is a small investment for the added protection and peace of mind.

Because houses and buildings, as well as adjacent hardwood or laminate floors, expand and contract, Surface Source USA recommends to leave a ¼” expansion gap between the perimeter walls and any adiacent hardwood floor.

Although this floor is designed to be a “floating” floor installation, proper preparation of the sub floor is a major part of a successful installation. Roughness or unevenness of the sub floor may telegraph through the new floor, resulting in an unsightly surface, excessive wear on high areas, indentations on low areas, and failure of locking mechanism on high and low areas. All sub floors should be smooth and flat with the tolerance not exceeding more than 3/16” in a 10’ span. Sub floor and underlavment patching must done with a non-shrinking, water resistant, cement-based patching or leveling compound.

Use good common sense installation practices, and you’ll have a successful installation that results in a beautiful floor.
