Installation
estimate
We do full installation and ESD certification. We can install your Forbo ESD tile and make sure its ESD certified. We are among the few companies that do this. With over 2 million square feet of ESD flooring installed, we are the one-stop choice for your ESD needs.

ColoRex® must be installed on a flat. smooth, rigid, clean and permanently dry subfloor. The moisture content of concrete subfloors should not exceed 2.5% when measured according to the CM method or 5 Ibs./1000 sq.ft. in 24 hours when tested according to ASTM F 18069. Prior to installation, the ColoRex® tiles must be acclimatized for at least 24 hours at a minimum temperature of 18°C. Temperature should remain constant before, during and 48 hours after installation. Use a copper strip for earth connection. The use of a conductive acrylic dispersion Forbo adhesive is recommended.

Apply the adhesive following the manufacturer's instructions. Roll floor with a 50 kg roller. Seam welding and flash cove skirting are optional. Homogeneous welding is possible for the finishing of inner and outer corners.

For ESD protective installations do not apply any wax or floor finish as they might reduce the conductive properties of the floor.

ESD Flooring Maintenance

maintenance

Routine maintenance of ColoRex® should consist of sweeping the floor with impregnated one-way tissues or spray buffing with a red pad at low speed, using a specific, neutral and wax-free cleaning solution. Spray buffing is also the ideal solution for raised access floors.

If the wet method is preferred for routine maintenance, damp mop the floor with a neutral detergent only and rinse well.

For large areas with heavy traffic, the use of a scrubber drier machine with a specific detergent is indicated.

For extraordinary maintenance procedures such as construction end cleaning or restorative maintenance, please ask for our detailed manuals.
