FORMATIVE CLIC GENERAL INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL DATA
GENERAL INFORMATION Formative Clic flooring is the newest generation of high-quality resilient flooring. It is a modular, click-together commercial
floor covering with a unique interlocking edge design that allows for easy installation. This product must be used for interior applications only and be installed by professional installers that have sufficient
professional liability insurance coverage (aka Errors and Omissions Insurance) for the project. Caution should be used in the
moving and lifting. Allow for appropriate equipment and manpower to safely move materials. Work safe and always follow the
relevant safety procedures. Edgewood Matting Ltd.. recommends installing and maintaining entrance matting at all outdoor entrances; this will improve
air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and lengthen the life of your floors. Proper glides must be used on all furniture that may slide directly across the floor, consult the furniture manufacturer for
recommendations for use on resilient flooring. Heavy objects must not be moved directly across the floor; use protective
boards. Direct sunlight can cause UV damage (fading or bleaching) to most interior finishes, so Low E glass should be selected that will
reduce the UV transmission to less than 1%. If not, applying 3M™ protection film (or similar) on the windows is
recommended. Do not install any material that has visible defects or damage. A contractor that installs any material that has visible defects or
damage assumes responsibility for the damaged material. All Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Installation, Maintenance and Warranty requirements must be read, understood and
followed. These instructions supersede any verbal or written instructions from Edgewood Matting Ltd. representatives, and must be
followed in order for the limited warranty to be in effect.

page 2 CONDITIONS STORAGE AND ACCLIMATION Concrete Moisture Limits
Moisture testing must follow the protocol of ASTM F2170, (ASTM 1869 may be conducted as well, but only as a secondary
indicator). Test results must not exceed the published limits below. It may not be the flooring contractors’ responsibility to conduct moisture testing. It is, however, the flooring contractors’
responsibility to make sure these tests have been conducted and that the results are acceptable prior to installation. Testing
should be performed by an International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) certified technician; please visit
http://www.icri.org. All on or below grade concrete subfloors must also have a confirmed effective vapor retarder pre-installed underneath that
meets the requirements of ASTM 1745. If not, then use a moisture mitigation system that conforms to ASTM F3010. This
system must be applied following the manufacturers’ written instructions. This product is not suitable for use in areas that are permanently wet. Test the surface for porosity according to ASTM F3191.
The water droplet must be absorbed within five minutes to be considered porous. If porous, no further action is required
regarding moisture. If the subfloor is non-porous concrete, then install a vapor retarder (≥ 6 mil thick) on the surface prior to
installing the floor.
Concrete Subfloors
New and existing concrete subfloors should meet the guidelines of the latest edition of ACI 302 and ASTM F710. Floors must
be smooth, permanently dry, clean and free of all foreign material such as dust, wax, solvents, paint, grease, oils and adhesive
residue. The surface must be hard, dense and free from powder or flaking. New concrete slabs must be dry. Maximum
moisture level per ASTM 1869 (CaCl test method) is 8 lbs. Maximum level for ASTM2170 (In-situ Relative Humidity test
method) is 85%. Do not install over concrete with a history of hydrostatic conditions. The pH level of concrete should be
between 7- 10. The final responsibility for determining if the concrete is dry enough for install of the flooring lies with the floor covering
installer.
Wood Subfloors
Do not install material over wood subfloors that lay directly on concrete, or over dimensional wood lumber, or plywood used
over concrete.
All other subfloors such as plywood, OSB, particleboard, chipboard, wafer board, etc. must be structurally sound and must be
installed following their manufacturer’s recommendations. Local building codes may only establish minimum requirements of
the flooring system and may not provide adequate rigidity and support for proper installation and performance. Refer to ASTM
F1482 for wood panel underlayment recommendations.
Storage & Acclimation
The boxes of Formative Clic must be stored flat and neat (without overhanging). If appropriate, they can be left on the
transport pallet. Never store outdoors in shipping containers.
