Installing Flexible Floor Bunding

Preparation of Surface

The ground surface where the floor bund will be installed must be clean and free of dust, debris, oil, grease and any other contaminate that may affect the adhesion. If the ground surface is very dusty or in poor condition, it would be best to paint or seal it first in order to obtain a perfect seal between the surface and floor bunding.

Installation of Bunding

Mark out the area to be installed with a chalk line.

Place the Flexible Floor Bunding (FFB) sections in the required configurations and cut to the correct dimensions. Where a join is required, cut away enough foam to allow PVC to overlap.

Lay the FFB in place where it will be installed. Liberally apply adhesive to the underside of the FFB and lay in place along the chalk line.
