Burke Flooring Ascend Luxury Vinyl Installation - Manual

PLEASE

ASCEND
IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES
Ascend
stair
treads
are
manufactured
from
a
unique
high
quality
LVT
material.
As
a
result,
the
Stair
Treads
and
Nosings
are
a
much
firmer
material
and
behave
differently
than
rubber
treads.
To
insure
a
beau@ful
installa@on,
be
sure
to
follow
these
cri@cal
steps.
1. Do
not
allow
your
Ascend
products
to
be
stored
or
placed
on
uneven
surfaces.
They
will
become
distorted
and
difficult
to
install.
Should
this
happen,
place
them
on
a
flat
surface
with
weight
on
them
to
straighten
them.
2. Nose
angles
on
stair
pans
vary.
We
have
set
the
angle
of
Ascend
noses
to
a
nominal
90
degrees.
If
you
have
a
different
angle,
you
can
adjust
the
tread
by
using
a
heat
gun
(such
as
those
used
to
remove
wallpaper).
Simply
warm
the
nose
area
and
carefully
bend
the
nose.
It
is
best
to
use
a
long
straight
edge,
to
keep
the
angle
uniform.
Required
Applica:on
Adhesives
A
successful
and
durable
installa@on
requires
use
of
the
proper
adhesives,
sealants
and
tapes.

proper
use
of
these
materials,

• Use
Burke’s
“Stair
Tread
Tape”
along
the
back
of
the
nose
to
provide
an
immediate
bond
to
the
stair
pan.
• Apply
a
bead
of
Nose
Filler
compound
along
the
full
length
of
the
inside
corner
of
the
nose
to
provide
long
service
life.
