Alpha footnotes apply to the product s suitability for the space. (1) Aseptic Area Hygienic conditions are of critical importance. (2) Water Resistance Wet area installation is needed (flash coving, sealed seams). (3) Slip-Retardance A more secure walking surface is required. (e) Armstrong floors are not recommended for commercial kitchens and commercial food processing areas, including behind fast-food counters. (i) No standing water; walk-off mats required. (j) SAFEGUARD Spa is only recommended for certain areas where people will be walking with wet bare feet or soft-soled footwear. SAFEGUARD Spa is not recommended for areas over 150 square feet or around swimming pools. (l) Not recommended in laboratories that require special decontamination procedures on surfaces, including floors. In addition to spaces listed on this chart: Armstrong specialty flooring may be used on stair steps, risers and landings. A manufactured slip-retardant nosing should always be applied on steps. Armstrong SAFEGUARD commercial sheet floors can be flash coved (integral cove). Most building codes consider flash coving in the same category as baseboard trim with respect to fire rating. Consult applicable codes for the particular project to determine the interpretation of allowable height for flash cove. Armstrong floors are not recommended for exterior use, for interior spaces where pointed spike golf or track shoes will be used, or in areas where the floor will be subjected to unusually concentrated static or dynamic loads. Armstrong floors should not be used as wall covering or wall surfacing. visit armstrong.com/specialtyflooring call ARMSTRONG

Maintenance Product SAFEGUARD/ SAFEGUARD Spa Polish Because SAFEGUARD and SAFEGUARD Spa are designed for slip retardance, floor polish is not recommended. Most floor polishes will adversely affect the slip-retardant properties. These products can be maintained using traditional dry mopping, wet mopping and scrubbing procedures. They should not be buffed or burnished. Due to the textured surfaces and abrasive nature of these products, the use of scrubbing brushes is highly recommended. Do not use stiff-bristled, highly abrasive brushes as they may damage the floor. SAFETY ZONE Due to the textured surfaces and abrasive nature of these products, the use of scrubbing brushes is highly recommended. Do not use stiff-bristled, highly abrasive brushes as they might damage the floor. The uniquely textured surface of SAFETY ZONE requires that close attention be paid to maintenance. Using conventional commercial floor finishes makes maintenance of the embossed surface easier. Do not use too much floor finish because it will reduce the slip-retardant characteristics of the tile s surface.
