Burke Flooring BR-725 Two Part Urethane:
Burke Flooring BR-725 is a two part polyurethane A & B. Pour all of part B into part A. Thoroughly mix with
a ½ hp drill motor equipped with a “jiffy mixer” or equivalent. Mix until smooth and uniform in color. When
uniform in color, mix for another 3 to 5 minutes. Adhesive will not work properly if not completely mixed.
Pour entire contents of container on sub-floor and spread using a 1/16” square notch trowel. Average yield
approximately 150 sq. ft. /gal. Do not allow the adhesive to stand in the can as accelerated curing time will
occur. Immediately install the LVT into the wet adhesive. No open time is required with BR-725. Remove
wet adhesive with mineral spirits. Dry adhesive cannot be removed without damaging the LVT surface.
Burke Flooring BR-721 Two Part Epoxy:
Burke Flooring BR-721 is a two part epoxy A & B. Mix part A and part B using a rotary motion while at the
same time lifting from the bottom. After mixing, the epoxy adhesive should be of uniform color (i.e., no
streaking). Immediately pour the mixed contents on the sub-floor and spread with a 1/16” x 1/16” x 1/16”
square notch trowel. Average yield approximately 100 sq. ft. /gal. Install Burke LVT into wet adhesive prior
to adhesive setting. Remove wet excess adhesive with denatured alcohol. Once BR-721 has dried, it
cannot be easily removed.
Post Installation:
Burke LVT should be rolled in both directions with a recommended 100 pound roller within 10 minutes after
installation and again 20 to 30 minutes after installation. As soon as possible after installation remove all
adhesive on the surface before rolling to avoid spreading the adhesive over the tile. After rolling the tile
again remove any excess adhesive that may have transferred through the tile seams. Depending on the
adhesive follow manufacture’s direction on removing excess adhesive before it dries, using soap and water
or denatured alcohol or mineral spirits.
Wait 24 hours after installation before resuming normal traffic and 48 hours before heavy rolling traffic.
Wait 5 days before heavy washing of or applying a dressing to the new Burke LVT flooring after installation.
Follow maintenance procedures recommended by Burke Flooring for Luxury Vinyl Tile and enjoy your new
floor.
