FAQs

Installing Kinetex is as easy to install as traditional modular carpet, however special attention should be applied until installers gain experience with module placement. Installers should perform site and material conditioning, surface preparation, concrete pH and moisture testing as if the were installing carpet modules. Because it is such a light-weight material, the modules cut very easily, reducing installation time.

Kinetex is cleaned using the same vacuum cleaners and hot water extraction equipment used to clean carpet. The schedules and cleaning supplies for preventative, daily, interim and restorative maintenance are similar to that of carpet. Kinetex dries 75% faster than carpet, rendering it suitable for cleaning while occupied. Please consult the Kinetex maintenance instructions for complete maintenance.

Kinetex is highly breathable and can be installed on higher relative humidity (RH) slabs than most non-breathable hard flooring. Allowable limits for RH and pH will vary, depending on the optional use of Commercialon Premium Sealer.

If no sealer is used: ASTM F 2170-2 relative humidity probe moisture testing and ASTM F 710 pH testing is required. PreFix installations without sealer have an RH limit of 100% and a pH limit of 11.

If sealer is used: PreFix installations with sealer don't require RH and pH testing.
