  1. START • SPORT SHEETING

  2. INTRODUCTION • Sports and other regular physical exercise offer numerous benefits to the human body • However, an important factor that can substantially influence the benefits of a workout is the environment (including the surface of the gym hall or the playground) where this activity takes place • Along with sports footwear the quality of the floor covering is another critical factor for the protection of athletes’ backs, knees and ankles • All FloorworX Sport floors are engineered to ensure the best achievable conditions for ultimate athletic performance while offering maximum health and safety to athletes • All products are designed for indoor use • FloorworX vinyl sport flooring provides a durable, safe and aesthetically appealing basis for both competitive sports and amateur sporting activities

  3. INTRODUCTION • Start offers an economical solution for smaller sport rooms where durability and safety of the playing surface is the number one priority • Its high-density foam backing ensures sufficient foot comfort • Areas of use include:- Pre-school indoor playgrounds- Locker rooms- Fencing halls- Martial arts studios

  4. BENEFITS • START_ • Cross-linked surface which increases the wear resistance and prevents dirt adhesion • Free of solvents and heavy metals • Low maintenance cost

  5. INSTALLATION • Start should be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations • Sub-floors must be smooth, hard, clean, and dry before laying commences • Uneven, solid or suspended timber floors may need preparation to meet the required standard • In case of direct to earth concrete, it is essential that a damp proof membrane is incorporated • Start must be allowed to relax for 24 hours in a uniform room temperature between 18°C and 27°C • All sub-floors must be tested for moisture content prior to installation • Recommended adhesive: FloorworX No. 62 acrylic adhesive

  6. SUGGESTED SPECIFICATION • Supply and fix 4.0mm thick x 2.0m wide Start vinyl sheeting, manufactured in accordance with EN 14904 and laid in FloorworX No. 62 acrylic adhesive which has been spread using a trowel fitted with an A2 notched blade at a rate of between 5.5m2 and 6.5m2 per litre on a previously prepared Class 1 sub-floor in accordance with SANS 10070, using FloorworX Self Leveller when required, including all cutting and waste • The sheeting must be rolled in both directions with an articulated 68kg three-sectional roller immediately after it has been laid into the adhesive. Joins must be butted, grooved and heat welded using the manufacturer’s welding rod, ensuring that the welding rod bonds to more than 70% of the sheet thickness

  7. WARRANTY • FloorworX offers a 5 year limited warranty, subject to our terms and conditions, against defective material provided that it is installed and maintained in accordance with our recommendations

  8. MAINTENANCE • PREVENTIVE_ • Approximately 80% of the dirt and soiling that has to be cleaned off a floor has been trafficked in from outside the building • More than 90% of that soiling can be avoided by the use of an effective entrance matting system. • When less dirt is trafficked through the entrance there will be a reduction in maintenance requirements • Regular cleaning is more cost-effective and hygienic than occasional heavy-duty cleaning • Wipe up any grease and oil spills immediately and treat stains as soon as they are observed • Black rubber wheels and rubber furniture feet can discolour the floorcovering. Hard plastic is preferred. • Always follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions regarding the use of cleaning chemicals.

  9. MAINTENANCE • POST-INSTALLATION SITE CLEAN_ • Floor maintenance begins immediately after the completion of installation • The initial step is to remove any loose dirt or debris using a dry mop, broom or vacuum • Sand, construction debris and sharp-edged objects may result in irreparable damage being inflicted to the new floor • Remove any visible adhesive residue using a damp cloth. Once the adhesive has cured it will be difficult to remove • If other trades are working in the building after the installation of the flooring, the floor must be protected from subsequent damage by the use of thick paper, cardboard or hard board • No wet maintenance must take place until 72 hours (3 days) have elapsed from the time of installation (this is to ensure that the adhesive has sufficient time to cure properly and develop full bond strength)

  10. MAINTENANCE • INITIAL CLEAN_ • Dust mop or vacuum the floor to remove loose soil and dust • Scrub the floor using a solution of FloorworX Maintain diluted 1:10 with clean water, with a rotary machine fitted with a blue pad • Remove the residue immediately after scrubbing using a wet/dry vacuum • Rinse with clean water using a flat mop and allow the floor to dry • Dry buff the floor using a rotary or high speed machine fitted with a white pad • For higher traffic areas, apply FloorworX Spray Buff in a fine stream or mist onto the floor in front of a rotary machine fitted with a red pad and work in until dry • FloorworXSpray Buff applied in this manner at the rate of 600m2 per litre assists in maintaining a smooth surface and constant level of gloss

  11. MAINTENANCE • REGULAR CLEANING_ • Dust mop with flat mop or vacuum on a daily basis to remove dust and loose dirt • Treat spills, spots and stains immediately • Spot clean by hand with a red or white pad and a diluted solution of FloorworX Maintain, working from the outside of the mark to its centre • Dry buff or spray buff periodically, as described in Initial Clean Procedure • The frequency of dry buffing or spray buffing is dependent on the amount of foot traffic and the effectiveness of the daily cleaning regime

  12. MAINTENANCE • PERIODIC MAINTENANCE_ • Scrub the floor using a solution of FloorworX Maintain diluted 1:10 with clean water, with a rotary machine fitted with a blue pad • Remove the residue immediately after scrubbing using a wet/dry vacuum • Rinse with clean water using a flat mop and allow the floor to dry • Dry buff the floor using a rotary or high speed machine fitted with a white pad • For higher traffic areas, apply FloorworX Spray Buff in a fine stream or mist onto the floor in front of a rotary machine fitted with a red pad and work in until dry • FloorworXSpray Buff applied in this manner at the rate of 600m2 per litre assists in maintaining a smooth surface and constant level of gloss
