I. Storage
A. Check tiles for completeness of order. Check for correct color and profile.
B. Store tiles off the ground and out of the elements. Do not stack skids, or stack
other materials on tiles or treads.
C. If the tiles are to be re-stacked, the tiles must be stacked profile to profile and
back to back to avoid mold release or wax transfer from the profile side to the back
side.
D. Prior to installation, the tiles and adhesive must be conditioned to an ambient
temperature at the actual job site of not less than 59°F (14°C) to not more than
85ºF (29ºC) for at least 48 hours. In severe climates an 8 day conditioning period
may be necessary.
