With the ColoRex® homogeneous welding technique, various
types of smooth inner and outer corners can be achieved, perfectly
curved and invisibly welded, for a minimum of maintenance and
a maximum of safety.
ColoRex® homogeneous welding is not a secret we keep for
us, the necessary abilities can be learned and trained at the
installation courses held by Forbo Flooring in Giubiasco.
Heat welding of the ColoRex® tiles is strongly recommended
for those environments where wet cleaning methods are necessary
and used regularly.
To obtain a correct weld, it is most important to observe a
few simple rules:
- welding should not be carried out earlier than 24 hours after
the installation is completed
- the minimum temperature of both the floor covering and the
welding rod should be at least 16°C
- the room temperature should not be lower than 16°C and
relative humidity between 30 and 70%
Groove 'the tiles along the joint lines with an appropriate
grooving machine or by hand with a hand
grooving tool.
Weld the ColoRex® welding rod into the clean grooves observing
a welding temperature of 400°-450°C.
Trim off part of the excess welding rod with the crescent shape
knife and the specific trimming slide while still warm. Wait
until the remaining excess is cold before carrying out the final
flush trim using a sharp crescent shape knife.
Please ask us for our detailed heat welding manual, with step-by-step
instructions of? the right procedures with the right tools.
