supporting beams i.e. long side of the board across the direction of main supporting beams.
s laying, boards should be staggered length wise, by half their length, ensuring edges While

to come over the supporting beams. The board is to be screwed @ 300mm centers by drilling an oversize hole to allow expansion. In addition to screwing, in case of moderate to heavy traffic- it is always better to bond the joints with alkaline resistant adhesives as this will hold the panels more firmly and increase overall rigidity.
ssupporting beams should be tight1 fixed with no scope of twisting since screw may The

become loose due to heavy traffic loads. The supporting profiles should be fixed straight, non-twisting type and not in round or curved shape.
s Boards should be fixed with uniform gap of 2-3mm at the joints. However a gap of

minimum 5mm must be left on all the surrounding i.e. periphery of the floor next on the wall for the allowance of expansion. The gap should be filled with suitable flexible expandable sealant.

s completely Dry boards are to be used and it can be fixed on either steel or timber Only

supports depending upon the actual requirement of the site for thermal or sound insulation, fire rating etc. The boards should not be wet while laying and should be coated with 100% acrylic water based cement based-for dry application and oil based primer-for wet applications on both the sides and edges, before laying.
s Flooring done with Everest Floor or Everest Heavy Duty Floor boards should be covered

with floor coverings like PVC/Vinyl flooring, Carpets, Tiles etc for final finish.

Important Considerations:
s the floor size exceeds 5m in either direction, a movement control Joint should be When

provided through both the floor boards and coverings. Control joint is also must where the supporting structure has provisions for movement control joint.
s Tile should be fixed in a manner that allows it flexibility to accommodate some movement

that is inevitable in large framed structures. This can be achieved by (a) allowing a group joint or flexible sealant of at least 3mm and (b) using a thick (3 to 6mm) bed of tile adhesive.

s For structural flooring suitable decking sheet must be used before fixing the boards, the

loading capacity would depend on the combination of the decking and the board thickness, which would depend on the type of loading system.
s The installation of the boards should be as per the Code pf Practice for Floor Solutions. The

load table should be referred for indicative purpose only and final design should be approved by a certified structural engineer only.
