AirStep Advanta AirStep Advantages ges Overall construction  Felt inner liner vs. fiberglass  Fiberglass – Dimensional stability – must full spread  Felt - Controlled stability – allows three installation options LAYS FLAT - STAYS FLAT  Dense flexible composite backing • Toughness and durability • Flexible, easy handling

AirStep AirStep Advanta Advantages ges  Leader in Protectors category  Unaided brand awareness that’s unsurpassed  Clean floors = Peace of Mind for consumers

AirStep AirStep Advanta Advantages ges Consumers define clean with three key terms 1. Easy to clean Means floors require minimal work to clean:  Single step or minimal steps  No scrubbing needed  2. Repellent Means protection prevents dust, dirt and debris from settling and sticking to surface.  - Repel sticky elements that are most difficult to clean Eliminate the dreaded “hands & knees scrubbing” - 3. Durable Means floors withstand wear, tear, or marks for a prolonged period of time.  Withstand daily use  No specialty products needed to clean  DELIVERS ALL THREE

Con Congoleum goleum AirSte AirStep Installation Options Your Choice Plus AS-01 Quik Stik Installation Adhesive Tape System Loose Lay (Seams) Perimeter Fasten Fully Adhere

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Loose Lay & Perimeter Fastening Features  Fast, easy installation  Install over wider selection of subfloors  Masks subfloor imperfections better  Conceals cracks and underlayment joints  Save on surface preparation and adhesive cost  No buckle guarantee  Low Cost Replacement Perimeter Fastening Only  AS 01 Releasable bond  Quik Stik Installation System  Net Fit- Eliminate specialty trim and molding  Install cabinets on top of floor if desired

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Your Choice Plus Installation System General Information  Roll Flooring Face Out Wrapped Tightly Around a Core  Acclimate Flooring at 65F to 85F  AS 01 Adhesive Releasable bond   QuikStik Tape  SU 106 Seam Sealer  Pre-treat Seams (Except Basix)

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Loose Lay Installation  Keep flooring wrapped face out  Handle material to avoid distortions  Fit flooring with a 1/16” gap at walls and vertical surfaces  Cover the edge with wall trim  Do not pin or restrict the flooring with doorway transition moldings or wall trim  Use AS-01 Adhesive, QuikStik Tape or acrylic double face tape to secure the floor at bathtubs and showers; and seal with caulking

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Perimeter Fastening  Keep flooring rolled face out  Handle material to avoid distortions  Fit flooring with a 1/16” gap where trim will be installed  Fit flooring net where no trim will be installed  Fasten the edges with AS 01 Adhesive, QuikStik Tape or staples

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Perimeter Fastening with AS-01 Adhesive  Turn the edge of the sheet back  Apply a 4” wide band of AS 01Adhesive with a ¼” nap roller  Allow adhesive to dry to a tack. Lay flooring in to tacky dry adhesive immediately and roll with a steel hand roller  If using a combination of adhesive and staples complete the adhered areas first

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep  Recommended Substrates  Concrete on all grade levels  Plywood  Particleboard  Oriented Strand-board (OSB)  Existing resilient floors  Embossing Leveler  Latex Primer  Primed Gypsum Topping

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Subfloor Requirements  Smooth  Clean  Free of Dust  Dusty Surfaces - Clean with damp cloth or - Apply Latex Primer (Henry 336 Primer)

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Perimeter Fastening with Quik Stik Tape  Position Quik Stik Tape Along Perimeter of the Room  Floor Vents  Columns   Do Not Overlap Tape  Position Flooring in the Room and Trim to Fit  Roll the Tape with a Steel Hand Roller  If Using a Combination of Tape and Staples, Complete Taped Areas First  Turn Back the Edge of the Sheet and Remove the Release Liner  Lay the Edge of the Sheet Back in Place Making Sure it is Flat  Adjust if Necessary  Roll taped flooring with a Steel Hand Roller  Apply Caulking at Net Fit and Wet Areas

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Seams For Loose and Perimeter Fastening Installation  Overlap and Double Cut Seams  Use 3” wide piece of scrap under the seam  Position Quik Stik Tape Centered Under the Seam  Roll the Tape with a Steel Hand Roller  Remove the Release Liner  Lay Seam Edges Lightly into Place  Roll Seam with a Steel Hand Roller  Prepare the seam and apply Seam Sealer

Seaming Procedure

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep AS 01 Adhesive  Releasable Bond  Porous and non- porous subfloors  ¼” nap roller  Dry to tack method  Permanent Bond  Porous subfloors only 1/16” x 1/32” x 1/32” Trowel   Wet set method

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Fully Adhered  Ensure properly prepared Subfloor  Fit flooring to the room  Apply AS 01 Adhesive  Roll with 100 pound roller

Congoleum AirStep Congoleum AirStep Seaming  Overlap and double cut in a dry zone  Use 3” wide piece of scrap under the seam  Loose and Perimeter- Apply a 6” band of adhesive with a paint roller and allow to dry to a tack or use Quik Stik Tape  Fully Adhered-Apply adhesive with a paint roller and allow to dry or as an alternative over porous surfaces, apply with a trowel and set flooring into wet adhesive  Roll the seam area  Pre-treat seams with a nylon pad, seal with SU106 Seam Sealer
