3. Product Description
TuffRoll™ Athletic and Recreational Flooring is designed for use in fitness centers, for jogging, aerobics, weights, and where exercise equipment and machinery are used. It is also well suited for use in sports and recreation facilities, including ice skating rinks. It is resistant to cutting and tearing, making it ideal for golf courses and snow ski areas. TuffRoll is used both indoors and outdoors for many other applications, including high traffic areas and multipurpose facilities.
TuffRoll is formulated from a combination of 100% post-consumer recycled SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), post-industrial recycled EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber and polyurethane.
Fully adhered with Surface America EverGrip Adhesive, or loose laid with double-stick tape at joints.
Fully adhered with EverGrip Adhesive.
48" (1220 mm) wide by custom lengths to suit project.
• 1/4" (6 mm)
• 3/8" (9 mm)
• 1/2" (12 mm)
Standard color options available in any quantity include:
Full cylinder production yields are as follows:
• 1/4" (6 mm) - 5000 ft2 (465 m2)
• 3/8" (9 mm) - 3200 ft2 (298 m2)
• 1/2" (12 mm) - 2400 ft2 (223 m2)
Custom color orders for full cylinder production are welcomed. Orders can be placed in any of the above thicknesses in up to 30% color (70% black). These color portions can be virtually any combination of available EPDM colors.
The following chemicals may cause damage to the surface and should be avoided: disinfectants, concentrated chlorine bleach, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic and lubricating oils, acids and organic solvents.
This product is not suitable for extremely high abuse service environments such as those for vehicular traffic, rolling or sliding machinery or similar uses. It is resistant to golf spikes, skate blades, ski edges and similar equipment, but it is not impervious to damage.

5. Installation
Store materials protected from exposure to harmful environmental conditions and at a minimum temperature of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) and a maximum temperature of 100 degrees F (38 degrees C). Install surfacing system when minimum ambient temperature is 40 degrees F (1 degree C) and maximum ambient temperature is 90 degrees F (32 degrees C).
Do not proceed with floor surface installation until all applicable site work, including substrate preparation, fencing, equipment installation and other relevant work, has been completed.
Verify that substrate conditions are suitable for installation of the surfacing system and do not proceed with installation until unsuitable conditions are corrected. Remove all dust, dirt, grease and foreign materials from the substrate. Assume that walls or curbs abutting installation are not perfectly straight. Prepare floor substrates to comply with the requirements of ASTM F710.
For indoor installation, lay out rolls on floor along wall that will minimize cuts and waste.
Allow material to lie flat approximately 12 hours to adjust to room temperature.
For Adhesive Installations: Where first roll will be placed, on solid nonporous substrates, apply one-part polyurethane adhesive at a rate of approximately 75 ft2/gal (1.88 m2/L) using a 3/32" (2.4 mm) notched trowel. On open asphalt, apply adhesive at a rate of approximately 65 ft2/gal (1.63 m2/L) using a
1/8" (3.2 mm) notched trowel. Do not allow adhesive to contact the upper surface of the material or to flow up through joints.
For about 1 hour, periodically roll each piece with a 100 lb (45 kg) carpet roller. Weight down any areas that appear to resist bonding to substrate. To ensure tight joints, when butting one roll to the next, overlap joints by approximately 1/4" (6 mm) and work the joint back by hand to eliminate overlap.
For Loose-Laid Installations: Identify joint locations and snap a chalk line at each. Apply double-stick tape to substrate. Unroll and install one roll at a time until complete. Butt rolls as described above.
Initial Cleaning: After completion of installation and before acceptance by Owner, perform the following cleaning operations:
1. Remove all surface soil, debris, sand and grit by sweeping, dusting, mopping or vacuuming.
2. Scrub floor with a neutral detergent (pH 7 - 8.5) using a buffer or auto-scrubber with a soft nylon brush or lint-free damp mop, changing water frequently.
3. Remove soiled solution with auto-scrubber or wet-vacuum.
4. Allow floor to dry thoroughly, not less than 6 - 8 hours.
5. Protect floor using kraft paper, plastic sheet or other appropriate means.
Complete installation recommendations are available from Surface America, Inc.
• For indoor adhesive installations, maintain constant temperature for at least 12 hours after flooring installation to avoid contraction or expansion
• For outdoor installations, temperature changes prior to full curing of the adhesive (approximately 12 hours) cause expansion and contraction of the flooring material. Trim material only after adhesive has fully cured
• Protect the installed surface from damage resulting from subsequent construction activity on the site

7. Warranty
The standard warranty period is 5 years from date of product shipment. Contact Surface America, Inc., for more information on warranty terms.
8. Maintenance
Hose off entire surface to remove food, drink, sand, dirt and loose debris. A pressure washer may be used, but do not exceed 1500 psi (10,335 kPa) pressure or place nozzle closer than 12" (305 mm) to surface. While surface is still damp, apply a mild household or commercial cleaner to a small area using a sprayer.
Scrub using a medium bristle brush. Repeat as necessary on heavily stained areas. Once entire surface has been cleaned, rinse using a garden hose with spray nozzle attachment.
