Weather Restrictions: Interior Carpet & Sheet Vinyl Adhesive Latex

. WEATHER & RENOVATION is a joint project of: CTV.ca and JonEakes.com designed to help you plan home improvement projects around weather restrictions. If you have just been checking the weather for your project on the CTV web site -- welcome to JonEakes.com where you will find all the details for your home improvements. If you started here and are looking for weather restrictions related to home improvements, follow this link to CTV.ca where you can get your local weather forecast together with weather restrictions for specific products  on the bottom of the page.

********************************

Generally weather restrictions have no meaning for indoor adhesives, but in the case of a floor area in new construction and often renovation, the floor could be either overheated by the sun, or freezing cold. Also flooring materials might have been stored in a cold shed or garage. Remember that the adhesive, the flooring material as well as the floor itself must be between 18C and 30C before, during and for several days after installation. Although we always need to work in a well ventilated room, we may need to arrange for sun shading of that open window without blocking the air movement -- or temporary heating and exhaust ventilation if it is cold outside.
