INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAIR TREADS
& ACCESSORIES
IMPORTANT NOTE - These products should be installed by a professional. There are practices in
the application of these products that require professional expertise.
A. Introduction & Preparation:
Burke Flooring manufactures First Quality Products with high quality materials,
quality-controlled processes, and with careful inspection made before shipment.
However, a quality installation is the responsibility of the installer. The installer
should verify the accuracy of the order, check the material for damages or defects,
and check for color match and/or shade/pattern variation during a dry lay
installation. A BurkeMercer representative should be notified of any problems
before the adhesive application begins.
Burke Flooring Products are manufactured for interior use only. They are not
recommended for commercial kitchens, computer rooms, or areas where there will
be constant exposure and contamination from animal fats or oils. If you have any
questions about the suitability for a particular condition, call 800-669-7010 and
ask for Flooring Technical Assistance.
Installers and or End-Users are responsible for determining the suitability of Burke
Flooring by means of their own tests/research. Burke cannot accept responsibility
for losses or damage resulting from improper use of this information, improper
processes, improper working conditions, or workmanship.
Condition Flooring Products, Adhesives, and all Accessories at 70 +/- 5 Degrees F
for 48 hours prior to installation, during installation, and afterwards for another
48 hours.
If storing for more than the 2 days prior to installation, store all materials in a
weather-tight enclosure. Do not stack pallets, and do not stack tiles or boxes of
tiles any higher than you received them. When handling, keep the tiles face-to-face
and back-to-back, just the same as they are packaged. Do not lean the treads or
packages of treads up against walls, or other surfaces, this can cause warpage in
the nose area. Leave them flat.
