Installation Guide
AD-600
General Information
The main panels of the AD-600 are made of polypropylene and are 2.36”(6 CM) in height. Cable trench caps are made of steel. Quick and easy installation is a strong advantage of the ConnectFloor systems. AD-600 compromises one of the most unique, cost effective, and easily installed low-profile floors on the market. No special tools are required. Professional quality installation can be achieved by flooring installers such as those for carpet tiles and PVC tiles; or carpenters, handymen, and even amateurs.
Installation Time
The following estimates do not include material preparation and handling time.
For open space:
Trained installer: 900-1200 sq. feet (80-110 sq. meters) per man-day.
Newly trained or amateur: 600-800 sq. feet (55 – 75 sq. meters) per man-day.
Small rooms and irregular floor plans: may call for 20 to 30 percent more installation time. Good preparation and job site planning are very influential to installation costs.
