1.3 Proprietary Product Description:
1.3.1 Construction: Burke Skate and Spike Resistant Endura
Rubber Floor Tiles are manufactured from a homogeneous
composition of 100% synthetic rubber, high quality additives,
and colorants to meet the performance requirements of ASTM
F 1344, Class 1-A and 1-B Standard Specification for Rubber
Floor Tile . This special rubber formulation is designed to
withstand the wear associated with spike and cleated athletic
footwear and skate blades. This high performance composition
will not shred, crumble or retain odors. Burke rubber floor
tiles require the use of chair pads or chairs with casters
designed for resilient flooring in work stations or similar
environments. Burke rubber floor tiles are not warranted
against cuts or lack of protection under caster wheels designed
for carpeting or other types of flooring. Burke Rubber Floor
Tiles are designed for interior applications only.

3. INSTALLATION
The installation of Burke Rubber Floor Tiles should not begin
until the work of all other trades has been completed,
especially overhead trades. The areas to receive flooring
materials shall be clean and fully enclosed. The area should be
maintained at a minimum of 65° F and a maximum of 75° F
for 48 hours before the installation, during the installation and
for 48 hours after the installation is completed. The flooring
materials and adhesives shall be conditioned in the same
manner. Wood subfloors must have a minimum 18" (47 cm)
of cross ventilated space between the bottom of the joist and
ground. Exposed earth crawl spaces should be sealed with a
polyethylene moisture barrier. Subfloors should meet local
and national building codes. Trade associations, such as the
American Plywood Association (APA), offer structural
guidelines for meeting various code requirements. Single
Wood and Tongue and Groove subfloors should be covered
with 1/4" (6.4 mm) or 1/2" (13 mm) APA approved
underlayment plywood. Use 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick
underlayment panels for boards with a face width of 3" (76
mm) or less. For boards wider than 3" (76 mm) face width use
1/2" (13 mm) underlayment panels. Countersink nail heads
and fill depressions, joints, cracks, gouges, and chipped edges
with a good quality Portland cement based patching
compound. Do not install over OSB (Oriented Strand Board),
particle board, chipboard, lauan, or composite type
