Notes:

1. The maximum allowable UDL is calculate based on two criteria

i Allowable stress criteria

ii. Deflection criteria

* In all the cases the governing case is deflection criteria

2. Everest Floor solutions are applicable where there is no heavy impact/dynamic load is

coming and must not be applied to places where steel or hard resin type wheels are

used in material handling equipment.

3. The Everest Floor Solution must be used with support along all the four edges of the

boards laid with uniform gap between two adjacent boards.

• For up to a 2 mm gap between the boards, epoxy adhesive must be used

between the two boards.

• For more than 2 mm gap between the boards, a leveling bed of mortar layer /

adhesive should be applied to the clean and dry sub-floor, using a square

notched trowel.

Everest does not recommend support along two edges/single side only. In case

the four side supports is not possible, provisions for additional support be made

as per the direction and instruction of structural engineer.

4. Suitable treatment must be done to prevent the creaking sound

• The point of contact of the boards and the support frame must be fixed with

flexible substance/film (Butyl tape, Neoprene, rubber pad), to prevent creaking

sound and also prevent damage to the board edges.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

FRAMEWORK DETAILS TECHNICAL DETAIL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

sEverest Floor Boards / Heavy Duty Floor Boards are to be installed perpendicular to the

supporting beams i.e. long side of the board across the direction of main supporting

beams.

sWhile laying, boards should be staggered length wise, by half their length, ensuring edges

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.

sThe supporting beams should be tight fixed with no scope of twisting since screw may

become loose due to heavy traffic loads. The supporting profiles should be fixed straight,

non-twisting type and not in round or curved shape.

sBoards 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.

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

supports depending upon the actual requirement of the site. 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.

sFlooring 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:

sWhen the floor size exceeds 5m in either direction, a movement control Joint should be

provided through both the floor boards and coverings. Control joint is also must, where

the supporting structure has provisions for movement .

sTile 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.

sFor 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.

sThe 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.

Fixing

The installation of the boards would be as per the code of Practice for Floor Solutions. The

load table must be considered, before deciding on the type of flooring.

Fire Rating- on the basis of internal test reports at laboratory level.
