Detailed Maintenance and Care Instructions may be found in the FLEXISURF Install section/booklet.

Protection Recommended: To protect the Flexisurf installation and keep it looking good for years, Yemm & Hart recommends coating the newly installed floor with the recommended non-strippable floor finish or certain strippable finishes before traffic is allowed. When this is not possible, soil from foot traffic or other construction debris should be cleaned off with a cleaner/degreaser and vacuum.

Finish Application: Finish should be applied as soon as possible for unbonded installations and on bonded installations only after allowing adhesive to set properly according to manufacturer’s instructions. The Flexisurf installation should be cleaned thoroughly and allowed to dry prior to any finish application. Follow coating manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Finishing is not recommended for outdoor installations.

Recommended Finishes: Yemm & Hart recommends for a non-strippable finish Hydroline Wood Floor Finish - Satin 4X0310 vinyl/sports floor finish for the most successful maintenance and care. This catalyzed finish is available from Yemm & Hart:

When a strippable finish is preferred, Yemm & Hart recommends the Taski brand of floor care products that are available from Yemm & Hart:

Maintenance: Flexisurf installed indoors with a finish applied, should be cleaned and maintained in accordance with the finish manufacturer’s recommendations. Otherwise maintenance of the floor by damp mopping with a neutral cleaner is acceptable. A power scrubber or buffer may be used on fully bonded installations following the finish manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. Flexisurf installed outdoors may be cleaned with mild detergent, nylon bristle scrub brush and water. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed from the Flexisurf before allowing to dry. Power washing using medium pressure nozzles may also be utilized for outdoor installations. Stripping removes strippable floor finish and should only be done when renewal of finish no longer produces satisfactory results.

General Precautions: Care should be exercised when moving or relocating equipment over Flexisurf sheet or tiles to prevent damage to the floor. Do not scrub or strip fully bonded floors until at least 4 or 5 days after installation so that the Flexisurf will have become well seated in the adhesive. The use of pads, wide casters/rollers, furniture/equipment cups may prevent excessive indentation. The performance and guarantee of the products used in preparation, testing, installation and maintenance of Flexisurf, during and after installation, remain with the manufacturer of said product and not Yemm & Hart.

Recommended Floor Care Products: The recommended floor care products to be used on Flexisurf installations are manufactured by Basic Coatings and Lever/Taski. Numerous floor care products manufactured by other companies and not specifically recommended by Yemm & Hart may also produce satisfactory results.
