Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings - Design, preparation and installation - Part 4: Resilient floor coverings
This Technical Specification provides recommendations for the installation of resilient floor coverings. It covers products composed of polyvinyl chloride, linoleum, cork and rubber. It details suitable methods of installation and advises on the selection of the materials required for their implementation.
The guidelines in this Technical Specification are intended for use in cases where manufacturer's instructions, taking account of the national code of practice in the country where the installation is to be made, are not available. References to the national codes that are currently available are listed in the Bibliography of the various parts of this Technical Specification.
This Technical Specification is intended for use in conjunction with CEN/TS 14472-1 that deals with general matters relevant to textile and laminate floor coverings as well as resilient floor coverings. It gives recommendations for the installation of resilient floor coverings in new or existing buildings. It describes common procedures which are in use throughout Europe and highlights the major differences that can exist in different national procedures.
Special measures beyond those described in this Technical Specification may be necessary for the successful installation of resilient floor coverings for specialist purposes such as electrostatic control or use in special wet areas. These specialist techniques are not described in this Technical Specification.

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 14472-4:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 134 “Resilient,
textile and laminate floor coverings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
CEN/TS 14472, Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings — Design, preparation and installation, consists of
the following four parts:
Part 1: General
Part 2: Textile floor coverings
Part 3: Laminate floor coverings
Part 4: Resilient floor coverings
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by December 2003.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
European Standards are currently available for
- resilient, textile and laminated floor coverings
- classification schemes, which define the characteristics of a location where a floor covering is to be used, and
enable an appropriate product to be selected.
For these products to give satisfactory service, they also need to be installed competently, and to receive
appropriate maintenance in service.
Certain countries have issued guides and/or standards that define good practice for installation and
maintenance.
To date, although there has been substantial trade in floor coverings between different countries in Europe,
these have largely been installed using the methods of the country importing them. Relatively little installation
work has been conducted across European borders, but it is likely that this will increase.
This Technical Specification is not intended to replace the existing national guides or standards on installation.
Its purpose is:
a) to identify a framework of good practice common to the existing national standards,
b) to identify the principal technical differences in approach between them,
and hence
c) to foster good standards of installation across Europe, including countries where there is no national
standard on
d) to enable a specifier to specify a common procedure for installation for work in his country, which may be
conducted by installers from other countries, and
e) to enable an installer to conduct work more easily in another country.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification provides recommendations for the installation of resilient floor coverings. It
covers products composed of polyvinyl chloride, linoleum, cork and rubber. It details suitable methods of
installation and advises on the selection of the materials required for their implementation.
The guidelines in this Technical Specification are intended for use in cases where manufacturer's instructions,
taking account of the national code of practice in the country where the installation is to be made, are not
available. References to the national codes that are currently available are listed in the Bibliography of the
various parts of this Technical Specification.
This Technical Specification is intended for use in conjunction with CEN/TS 14472-1 that deals with general
matters relevant to textile and laminate floor coverings as well as resilient floor coverings. It gives
recommendations for the installation of resilient floor coverings in new or existing buildings. It describes
common procedures which are in use throughout Europe and highlights the major differences that can exist in
different national procedures.
Special measures beyond those described in this Technical Specification may be necessary for the successful
installation of resilient floor coverings for specialist purposes such as electrostatic control or use in special wet
areas. These specialist techniques are not described in this Technical Specification.
2 Normative references
This Technical Specification incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to
this Technical Specification only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references
the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

– Part 1: general.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this Technical Specification, the terms and definitions given in EN 12466, and CEN/TS
14472-1 apply, together with the following.
Specific national terms may be found in national glossaries or standards (see Bibliography).
3.1
underlayment
thin layer, applied to a screed to provide a smooth and/or flat surface to receive the floor covering.
4 Exchange of information
In order for the correct floor covering to be installed in appropriate conditions, at the right time, etc., it is
essential that all parties have a clear understanding of the requirements of the project, e.g. new build or
refurbishment, and of the implications for all concerned. To ensure that this is achieved, it is essential that
there is wide consultation between all parties involved in the project, including sub-contractors and materials
suppliers. This consultation should start early in the design stage but will be necessary throughout the
contract, especially should requirements or time scales change and as new sub-contract work is initiated. As
each project will be unique it is impossible to give a definitive list of the information to be exchanged, but the
typical examples, applying to textile and laminate floor coverings as well as to resilient floor coverings are
given in CEN/TS 14472-1.
5 Materials
5.1 Smoothing compounds or underlayments.
These materials are used to smooth uneven floors, or to improve the suction to assist the application of primers
or adhesives. The traffic and loads expected in service should be considered and an underlayment with
appropriate properties and classification should be selected for use in that area.
5.2 Underlayments
Underlayments may be selected from the following:
a) cementitious underlayment consisting of a specially formulated blend of cement, binder and fine
aggregate. The binder is commonly a natural rubber or synthetic polymer dispersion;
b) powder/water mixes based on casein/cement or polymer/cement and fine aggregate;
c) epoxy or other resin compounds (e.g. primer);
d) compatible underlayments that are available for direct contact with
