CVB25A
2-1/2" x 48" Almond - 120' Box
Features:
Co-extruded top layer resists scuffs and scratches.
Will not fade, crack, or chip.
Inexpensive because it is made from PVC vinyl.
Ribbed back for positive adhesion.
Top-lip design helps base fit tightly against wall.
Installation:
1. Required materials: Sharp utility knife, a hand roller, an 1/8" (3.175mm) notched trowel or wall base cartridge gun, and the wall base adhesive.
2. The adhesive, base, and room temperature should be at least 65 degrees F during application and for at least 24 hours before and after the application. If you are installing vinyl roll base, it should lie flat for 24 hours before application.
3. IMPORTANT: Wall base CANNOT be used over vinyl wall covering. If needed to install on a wall with vinyl wall covering, you must cut the wall covering and expose the wall surface. Cut the wall covering leaving a 1/4" margin below where the top of the base will be.
4. Make sure that the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, and loose paint. Watch for dusty plaster walls or old adhesives. Plaster walls must be structurally sound and smooth. Drywall seaming compound must be smooth.
5. The gap between the floor and the wall should be no more than 1/4".
6. Spread the adhesive onto the back of the base with an 1/8" notched trowel. Leave a 1/4" space at the top
of the base when spreading the adhesive. A wall base cartridge gun with the pEstate tip can be used.
7. Press the base into place immediately after applying the adhesive. The adhesive MUST NOT “skin over.” Use a hand roller to press the base and adhesive to the wall. Roll the base toward the last installed piece.
This will avoid “shrinkage” problems and gaps between sections.
8. Butt ends firmly together so that the top of the base fits tightly against the wall.
REMEMBER: NEVER, NEVER stretch the wall base during installation.
