The jobsite, substrate, carpet tiles and the adhesive must be conditioned at a temperature of 65°F - 85°F and ambient humidity of 30-65% for at least 48 hours before and during the installation. When installation is complete the jobsite must be maintained at normal service temperature and humidity. If these conditions are not attainable, contact Mohawk Group Technical Services.
