Eco-Grip® safety flooring is a 1/4 inch thick, flexible, slip resistant flooring product which features a textured wear surface and is manufactured completely from recycled materials. From reducing slips and falls to eliminating bacteria growth, Eco-Grip® meets or exceeds both ADA and OSHA requirements for safety floors and ramps. Eco-Grip® is the primary component of Allied Industries safety flooring system. Combined with state-of-the-art products such as maximum strength 2 part epoxy adhesive, high quality marine adhesives and sealants, mechanically fastened clamping drain detail, heavy-duty stainless steel thresholds and termination strips, and custom contoured impact resistant base cap, the complete system is by far the best safety flooring application for food service kitchens, coolers, freezers, bars and service areas.

Eco-Grip® safety flooring is completely non-corrosive and non-absorbent. Manufactured from 100% post-industrial recycled PVC material, Eco-Grip® combines cohesive fibers and a micro-biocide to create flooring that is virtually indestructible. Eco-Grip® safety flooring is impact and puncture resistant, grease and chemical resistant, and repels weather, odors and stains, ensuring a great look for years to come. Eco-Grip® is also resistant to animal fats, cooking oils, and harsh cleaning chemicals, and is designed to remain flexible and slip resistant even in areas where these are present. Eco-Grip® features patent-pending chemistry, and will not shrink, separate or become hard in service as other vinyl floors can–even after many years!

Eco-Grip® also prohibits the growth of harmful bacteria. The micro-biocide extruded into the flooring sheet eliminates the presence and production of bacteria. Tile floors require grout, where bacteria can grow. Eco-Grip® flooring is a solid, heat welded membrane which covers your entire service area. There is no need for grout–bacteria have nowhere to hide!

Eco-Grip® slip resistant safety flooring is warranted against manufacturing defects by Allied Industries International for 5 years. We recommend the use of the Eco-Grip® Commercial Kitchen Floor Cleaning System for all flooring installations.

And it’s so easy to clean! Simply apply Eco-Grip® Commercial Kitchen Floor Cleaner with our proprietary foam gun dispensing tool, allow 6-8 minutes for the chemical to work, deck brush, and rinse with fresh water. You can mop the cleaner on as well, allow 8–10 min. dwell time, deck brush and rinse with fresh water.

INSTALLATION

PRIOR TO JOB STARTAllied Industries strongly recommends that relative humidity testing be performed on all concrete substrates prior to installation. The relative humidity must be no more than 85% within the concrete slab prior to installation of Eco-Grip® flooring. Allied Industries recommends the use of the Wagner Rapid RH Smart Sensor Relative Humidity test kit, or other suitable testing methods.

Step 1The floor substrate needs to be clean, free of dust, dry and room temperature. Using a 13 gallon industrial vacuum, remove all dust and debris from corners, door jams and floor surfaces before laying out Eco-Grip® sheet flooring.

Step 2Inspect all floor areas on which Eco-Grip® will be installed for holes, dips, and uneven or rough finished areas–especially near floor sinks, trench drains, pipes and other penetrations in the substrate. Grind down all uneven areas to a smooth finish that is even with the substrate. Patch all holes and level all areas as needed prior to installation of Eco-Grip® sheet flooring.

All excessive floor patch work and preparation should be addressed with the Contractor or Owner before starting as it may require a change order in addition to a revision of the contract amount quoted and accepted.

Remove all drain grates and clean out lids and drain lids. Make sure that all lids are flush with the concrete surface.

Floor sinks, trench drains and other square or linear drains need to be at 1/4” inch above concrete or substrate surface with proper slope to create water flow toward drains.

Step 3Standard wall base is 6” high. This is achieved by using a fixed base router on the back side of the sheet material. Allow 3” for the router and 6” for the wall base. Set your router board at 9” down from the sheet edge, set the router depth at 1/8” inch and check depth of cut; make sure that your router cut is correct before scoring across the length of the sheet. Once the cut has been made this will allow the sheet to bend and create a gentle 90 degree angle from the floor to wall creating the proper cove base angle.

Step 4Measure the area to be installed and check to see which way is best to run the Eco-Grip® sheets. Once started, the sheets should be run in the same direction. Eco-Grip® is a directional flooring product and should always be installed in line with the directional sticker affixed to the face of each sheet following manufacturing.

INSTALLATION | Page 2

Step 5Sheets should be lined up and cut into each other. Doorways, drains and other penetrations will need to be cut out as well. Make sure that the colors of the sheets are the same and from the same dye lot. Remember: Eco-Grip® is a recycled material, and there can be slight shade variations between dye lots. Allied Industries closely inspects each sheet produced to insure that material shipped to a given job will be the same shade.

Step 6Groove or bevel out sheet edges to accept the V-Rod weld material. Using a standard flooring hook knife you will basically bevel the sheet edge 1/8” wide and ¾’s down into the sheet.

Holding your knife approximately on a 45 degree angle pull the knife toward you cutting the sheet edge until the desired amount of bevel is achieved. Make sure that the shaved pieces are removed from under the sheet and between the sheets where they make contact. Electric grooving tools can also be used.

Step 7Welding is one of the most critical steps in order to achieve a water tight seal between the sheets to prevent leakage under the flooring.

Using a Leister heat welding tool set the temperature between 4 and 5 depending on the power source available and let the welder heat up for at least five minutes before starting.

Cut the appropriate amount of V-Rod to get started. This should be the length of the weld being made plus an extra 2 inches waste.

Feed the weld through the V-Rod tip by hand until you have welded the first few inches. At this point, the rod will hold fast and feed itself. Make sure that your area is free of obstructions that could prevent you from welding without stopping until you get to your next seam.

Apply slight pressure to the welder so that the V-rod tip pushes the weld down into the bevel that you have previously created. Make sure that you monitor your welding speed, moving about 1” per second.

Cut the excess weld with a straight knife or quarter moon knife where the sheets meet. Cut a V notch at the same area to begin another weld. The V notch is done so that the two welds bind together and create an acceptable water tight seal.

Step 8Use a quarter moon knife (Spatula) for trimming. Once you have completed a weld you will use this knife to shave off the excess weld, giving the seam a smooth finish.

Step 9After welding is complete and excess is shaved with quarter moon knife you will need to go back over the seams using your welder at a higher temperature- most likely between number 7 and 8 on your welder. This is called striking and serves to darken the weld and smooth out any imperfections if they occur after the excess has been shaved.

INSTALLATION | Page 3

Step 10Glue with ECO-GRIP® two part epoxy–roll the sheets back or fold them back to half of the area that is to be glued; using a 1’8” inch square-notch trowel spread the glue evenly over the surface area and 6” up the wall where the cove base will be. Before rolling back your sheets you can use a black sharpie marker and run along the top of the base so that you won’t spread your adhesive over the base trim.

Step 11After gluing both sides of the area and the floor is down immediately use a 100 pound roller to push all air pockets from beneath the floor. After this step use a long handle flat head screw driver and perform a tap check. Walk around and tap the floor with the screw driver and listen for hollow sounds, which indicates the floor is not flat on the substrate. If any areas have this hollow sound, then use the 100 pound floor roller over the area until flat on the substrate and the tap check sounds solid. This assures that the sheet material is making firm contact with the adhesive and will bond to the substrate.

Step 12After all the area is glued down and rolled it is time to install the base trim. A pair of titanium snips will be needed to cut the high impact base cap material. Apply a 1/4” inch bead of E-6100 on top of the cove base. Then place the trim cap on while applying pressure and installing the stainless steel screws making sure the trim is level and the cove is tight to the floor and the wall.

Step 13All trim is to be sealed with E-6100 sealant or equal. Use a small amount on top of the base trim for the final seal to prevent any water seepage during wash downs from getting behind the cove base.

Step 14Recess drain and floor clean out covers. After cutting a small hole where the cover is to be re-installed look through the hole and put the cover down and align the cover directly over the drain. Mark around the cover using an ink pen. After the circle is marked, cut straight lines back to the screw holes and no further; also, cut out a circle only large enough to ensure that the drain opening is not obstructed.

You have used the drain lid as a template to mark exactly where the cover will be installed.

Using a plunge router set to the thickness of the drain cover, usually 1/8” inch. Route away the circle that you have marked with the ink pen. Be careful not to over cut this area. Stay inside of your ink pen mark while routing the material. You can always go over the area again if needed but if you overcut the drain cover mark you may have to replace the sheet, so pay attention to detail here.

Using your shop vacuum, clean up all of the shavings and run a bead of E-6100 underneath the routed material to seal off the cover. When you re-install the cover you will need 1/8” longer screws to be able to re-attach the drain lid.

INSTALLATION | Page 4

Step 15Floor Sinks can be handled in three ways. If the floor sink happens to be PVC plastic, you can weld to the edges by running a bead around the edges of the fixture. This would probably be the most effective method of sealing off this fixture.

The second method which is approved and tested is the Epoxy Collar method. This method doesn’t require any additional penetrations in the flooring material like the flange method. Fewer penetrations through the flooring material will provide the best result.

Mix 1 gallon epoxy and let it set until it thickens. Using a standard plastic zip lock bag, fill the plastic bag with the epoxy, cut off a corner and squeeze the epoxy out in a bead all around the floor sink.

After all edges of the floor sink have been sealed with the epoxy let set a little longer and then clean very neatly with Acetone and a clean rag. Repeat the process if necessary until you get a neat bead around the floor sink. (The “boot” method of termination utilizing a saw cut profile with a right angle welded detail is an acceptable equal)

The third method is using stainless steel flanges that are special ordered the first day you arrive on the job. Measure all sizes and order flanges from a stainless steel fabricator. Have them shipped over night freight to the job. Install them on your last day before leaving.

All flanges need to be recessed the thickness of the flange material, sealed with E-6100 and screwed down with stainless steel screws #12-11 X 1-1/2” and lead anchors.

Step 16Linear drains or trench drains – cut stainless steel flat bar the size of the drain with band saw.

All edges should be square cut. No 45 degree edges are necessary. Dry fit all pieces around the drain until you have a rectangle then mark an outline with an ink pen. Remove the pieces and route out the floor material the thickness of the flat bar. Seal with E-6100 then re-install the flat bar lengths after cleaning any shavings with your shop vac. Then mark all of the screw holes, drill with a 5/16” inch bit and your hammer drill and set the lead anchors. After you have set all the lead anchors, screw down the flat bar lengths ensuring that you have a flat finished profile.

Step 17Thoroughly check all installations for water tight seal, caulk with E-6100 around door jams, pipe penetrations and corners. Make sure that all penetrations are well sealed. Check your welds and all seams for neatness and quality.

Step 18At all locations where the new Eco-Grip® flooring meets another type of material such as concrete or tile you must terminate your edge with stainless steel threshold. Cut the material with a band saw the proper length, dry fit the section and drill your holes. Using your shop vac remove any dust from the holes and set the lead anchors.

INSTALLATION | Page 5

After setting anchors run several large beads of E-6100 sealant under the threshold and anchor down with stainless steel #12-11 X 1-1/2” screws. Clean all excess E-6100 with Acetone and a clean rag.

Step 19Thoroughly clean the worksite and pick up all pieces of scrap floor material and other trash that you have left on the job site. Always strive to leave the jobsite cleaner than when you arrived on site.

Step 20Walk the job with the point person or job superintendent. Crew lead should always have the point person sign off on a Job Completion Sheet. If you have any change orders, make sure that they are signed and approved before leaving the site.

Make sure you get all tools and extension cords, etc. loaded in the truck or trailer before leaving site.

Step 21Educate all point personnel on Eco-Grip® floor cleaning procedures, leaving behind a gallon of ECO-GRIP® Commercial Kitchen Floor Cleaner, instructions for use and re-order forms.

Tile Floor Install/Retrofit-Renovation

Step 1Check tile integrity to make sure it has not failed underneath, where this moisture can soften the grout/mud set. This can be done by tapping tiles with a screwdriver and listening for a hollow sound which indicates hollow areas. It usually begins around drains and works outward.

Step 2Use a scraper or screwdriver to clean as much grit and grime from the grout lines as possible.

Step 3After removing any failed tiles and cleaning the grout lines, use the Eco-Grip® cleaning solution to clean all areas 2-3 times to insure that all the grease has been broken up. Allow chemicals from the cleaner to sit for 10 minutes between brushings.

Step 4Anywhere tile has been removed, it must be filled with a fast-drying high PSI Portland-based cement product. A minimum of 2,500 PSI is recommended.

Step 5After areas have dried properly, proceed installing the floor as per standard recommended procedure. Continually check for moisture & water especially when gluing the material. All areas must remain dry.

CLEANING MANUAL

THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF CLEANINGUnderstanding and following these 4 steps is essential for safe floors.

Chemical ActionThere are a number of cleaners on the market that actually do more harm than good when it comes to floor safety. Many cleaners are composed of high alkaline ingredients that are not completely removed by rinsing. They leave behind residue that becomes very slippery when introduced to water. Even if a floor appears to be safe while dry, if it has alkaline residue, it instantly turns into a slip hazard when it becomes wet. Whenever the contaminate you are attempting to remove is grease, it is imperative that the cleaner you are using is an emulsifying degreaser. This will insure that the grease is lifted and suspended so that it may be effectively removed from the floor surface.

The most effective and safest maintenance chemical for your hard surface flooring is a non-alkaline cleaner-degreaser that emulsifies grease and is free rinsing. Eco-Grip® Commercial Kitchen Floor Cleaner meets these requirements.

AgitationAfter dispersing the Eco-Grip® Commercial Kitchen Floor Cleaner onto the floor using the foam gun tool and hot water hose agitation can be accomplished using one of two methods: the first is by using the Eco-Grip® deck brush which comes with the floor cleaning kit upon job completion. Another method utilizes a standard janitorial buffer equipped with a 3M Brand green cleaning pad. Both of these methods create 10 times the agitation of simply mopping and are necessary in kitchen and high traffic areas. Basically the dirtier the floor, the more agitation is needed.

Dwell TimeDwell time allows the cleaning agent to work on breaking down contaminates on the floor. Some cleaners need a longer dwell time to work, while others start eliminating the greases and oils as soon as they are applied to the floor. All cleaners will work better if given sufficient dwell time. Extremely dirty floors will require more dwell time.

ExtractionUse a hose to rinse with fresh water and squeegee excess rinse water toward the drains.

The above data is out of the Eco-Grip Certified Floor Safety Technician Manual.

Hot Water Hose

All restaurants must use ONLY hot water rated hoses in the kitchen area. DO NOT for

any reason use a hose that is not rated for hot water. Regular garden hoses will not

hold up to the hot water and will burst if used with the high temperature water used

in RT kitchens.

DO NOT LEAVE THE WATER VALVE ON WHEN NOT USING THE HOSE!

This will create back pressure and cause your hose to burst. ALWAYS turn the water off

immediately when you are finished using the hose.

TESTIMONIALS“We tested the Eco-Grip® flooring in a beer cooler in one of our Buffalo Wild Wings locations in 2011. Wow! What a difference.

The wear and tear is non-existent. The surface is easily cleanable. The Health Department and the employees absolutely love it.

Since then, we have added Eco-Grip® flooring to the entire kitchen and walk-in coolers at each new location. We will be replacing tile floors with Eco-Grip® Flooring as we begin to remodel locations this year.

The folks at Eco-Grip® are great to work with and respond to you when you call. Their installers are efficient, respectful and get the job done. Their prices are fair and reasonable. As far as we are concerned, the tile floor has gone the way of the dinosaur. They’re extinct. We will never install tile in a kitchen again.”

Bobby Pancake High 5, LLC A Buffalo Wild Wings Franchisee

“I have not used any other type of flooring in a restaurant since my first project with Eco-Grip® and If owner requests a different type of flooring, I do not provide warranty for water penetration or water damage including mold remediation. As you know, I have completed over 265 restaurants to date with 18-20 more coming on line over the next 24 months.. Working with you and your team for over 10 years, I must say every project has been flawless and has exceeded my expectation!! DJ and his crew are always on time and constantly complete projects of quality without any warranty issues to date .. Amazing !!!”
