Tuftred

DESCRIPTION

Marley Tuftred is a patented vinyl/cork based flexible heavy duty floor sheeting formulated to resist a high degree of wear and possessing excellent resistance to in dentation. It is specially processed to provide a smooth, yet non-slip, wear surface.

COLOURS

Marley Tufred is available in a range of six practical colours.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING

Marley Tuftred is suitable for underfloor heating systems. It is however, important that a screed temperature of 27º C is not exceeded and it is therefore essential that a control thermostat be incorporated in the screed. The underfloor heating should be switched off for 48 hours prior to, during and 48 hours after laying Marley Tuftred.

FIRE RESISTANCE

Marley Tuftred has self extinguishing properties and will not contribute to the spread of flame: Marley Tuftred has an SABS fire classification rating of Class 2.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

The manufacturing process of Marley Tuftred ensures a natural resistance to attack by most acids and alkali's, common oils, greases and general household chemicals in diluted form. It is, however, recommended that the advice of the Marley Technical Department be obtained should this material be subjected to regular contact with chemicals or solvents.

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES

Marley Tuftred can be clasified as an electrically insulating floor covering.

SUB-FLOORS

Marley Tuftred is suitable for installation on most types of sub-floors, but in the case of direct earth concrete, it is essential that a damp-proof membrane is incorporated. Ensure that the sub-floor is completely smooth, level, hard, dry and clean before laying commences. The final appearance and ultimate wearability of the floor covering is governed by the surface upon which it is laid and care should be taken to ensure that the right foundation is provided. All sub-floors are to be tested for moisture prior to installation. The Marley Technical Department can offer advice in this regard.

WELDING

Marley Tuftred must immediately after installation be welded with a fully flexible Marley Welding Rod to provide a continuous surface. A colour range of Marley Welding Rod is available to select from.

ADHESIVE

Marley No. 71 Contact Adhesive is recommended for the use with Marley Tuftred, and should be applied in accordance with Marley's recommendations.

MAINTENANCE

The newly laid Marley Tuftred floor must, immediatly after installation, be scrubbed with a diluted neutral detergent compying with SABS 825 and thoroughly rinsed. Apply three coats of water based floor dressing complying to SABS 1042. Marley Tuftred floors will retain their excellent appearance if any occasional application of floor dressing is applied.
