• Spread the adhesive using a 3.2mm x
3.2mm "V" notched trowel known as a
"V3" size trowel
• All pieces of Pedigree carpet to be
installed in the same general area must
be of the same dye-lot indicated on the
label or delivery ticket
• Ensure all runs are pattern matched if the
design has a pattern repeat
• All runs of the carpet in each general area
must be laid in the same direction
• The carpet is non-fray and pre-trimmed to
permit butt joining most times, but this is
not guaranteed. If in doubt, trim all
selvedge edges using a parallel cutter or
similar tool to ensure a good butt join.
Treat cross joins in the same manner as
above. Overlapping and cutting must be
carried out where necessary
• For hard to hold runs - particularly those
with a stif backing such as "Pedigree
Smokey" and ALL outdoor installations when
using Karndean Fibre-Bond UV adhesive - it
will be necessary to allow a short tack-up
time of approximately 15 minutes
dependant upon humidity (see next item).
Roll instantly and again within one hour of
laying in the sheets using a 30kg floor roller.
Note that rolling is essential
• To test that the adhesive has tacked-up
suiciently place a small piece of carpet
into the adhesive, then when pulled away
strings of adhesive should be apparent. If
no tack or holding power during this test,
then wait five minutes, rechecking every
few minutes thereafter
• WARNING: Whilst most Pedigree carpets
are acrylic coated and "breathe", thus
allowing air and moisture to disperse
through the pile, beware that "Pedigree
Smokey" has a totally impervious gel
backing and the rules applying to subfloor
application under AS 1884 : 2012 or NZ 1884
: 2013 apply, whereby the substrate must be
suiciently absorbent to allow the adhesive
to disperse
• Heavy traic and wet cleaning for indoor
applications must be deferred for 3 days
until the adhesive has completely cured.
For outdoor applications do not allow
heavy traic for 24 hours and do not install
in rain or if rain is expected during or
immediately after installation
