Vinyl Flooring - Majestic Quartz Series Installation Manual

E. Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is sensitive to heat. To avoid damage to
the vinyl flooring, a 12 inch minimum x 12 inch minimum
hearth is recommended when using vinyl flooring up
to the wall. See Figure 3.8. If no hearth is used, it is
recommended to provide a minimum of 18 inches of
clearance in front of the appliance to the vinyl flooring OR
the bottom of the appliance should be raised a minimum
of 24 inches off of the floor to allow the vinyl flooring to be
installed up to the wall.
NOTICE: Clearances that do not meet the minimum
guidelines could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl
flooring and is done at the installer's risk.
Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend
adhesive based vinyl flooring products due to thermal
expansion during operation. Floating style flooring can be
used, but will reach temperatures up to 110 °F (based on
ambient temperature of 70 °F). Consult the manufacturer's
flooring specifications to ensure compatibility.
