2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Material
A tough, clear, polyurethane-coated unfilled wear layer composed
of polyvinyl chloride resins, plasticizers, stabilizers and processing
aids on a filled vinyl backing.
Pattern and Colors
The overall visuals are created by a print between the wear layer
and intermediate color layer. The clear wear layer is embossed
with different textures to enhance each of the printed visuals.
Color pigments are insoluble in water and resistant to cleaning
agents and light.

Limitations
These products should not be used in the following areas:
Hospital operating rooms.
Heavy industrial and exterior areas.
Commercial kitchens and commercial food processing areas.
Where pointed spikes such as golf or track shoes will be used.
Where the floor will be subjected to unusually
concentrated static or dynamic loads.
NOTE: Concentrated static and dynamic loads such as
hospital beds, roll-out bleachers, portable x-ray machines, etc.,
may visibly damage resilient as well as other types of floor
coverings. For questions regarding product suitability and
detailed instructions for floor preparation and installation in
these applications, please contact Armstrong.
Suitable for Application Over
Concrete, terrazzo, and other dry, structurally sound
monolithic subfloors, which are suspended or on grade.
Suspended wood subfloor construction with approved wood
underlayments, and a minimum of 18 in. (45.7 cm) well-ventilated
air space below.
Certain metals.
Radiant-heated subfloors with a maximum surface
temperature of 85˚ F (29˚ C).
Existing resilient flooring.
Unsuitable for Application Over
Subfloors where excessive moisture or alkali is present.
On-grade or below-grade sleeper-constructed wood
subfloors.
Lightweight aggregate concrete subfloors having a density of
less than 90 lbs. per cu. ft. (1441 kg/m3) or cellular
concrete having a plastic (wet) density less than 100 lbs. per
cu. ft. (1602 kg/m3) [94 lbs. per cu. ft. (1506 kg/m3) dry
weight], or concrete having a compressive strength of less
than 3500 psi (24 MPa). Concrete slabs with heavy static
and/or dynamic loads should have higher design strengths
and densities calculated to accommodate such loads.
Concrete curing agents, sealers, hardeners, or parting
agents should be removed.

Comparative Subjective Property Ratings
Durability – Very Good
Maintainability – Excellent
Resilience – Excellent
Subjective ratings (excellent, very good, good, fair) are in relation to other Armstrong commercial resilient floors. Ratings are
not directly related to any one test. They are broadly based on
tests and experience of Armstrong Research and Development
under varying conditions and circumstances. These ratings
should not be used for comparison to ratings used by other
manufacturers to rank their own products.
Fire Test Data
ASTM E 648 Flooring Radiant Panel Critical Radiant Flux –
0.45 watts/cm2or more – Class I
ASTM E 662 Smoke Chamber Specific Optical Smoke Density
– 450 or less
Numerical flammability ratings alone may not define the
performance of the product under actual fire conditions. These
ratings are provided only for use in the selection of products to
meet the specified limits.
4. INSTALLATION
Job Conditions
Subfloors/underlayments shall be dry, clean, and smooth.
They shall be free from paint, varnish, solvents, wax, oil, existing adhesive residue, or other foreign matter.
For more detailed requirements of concrete, wood and
metal subfloors, as well as wood and trowelable underlayments, refer to Armstrong Guaranteed Installation Systems
manual, F-5061. Calcium Chloride Tests for moisture must be
conducted. Armstrong offers a guideline of a maximum
acceptable moisture emission level of 3.0 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
per 24 hours. Bond Tests should also be conducted for compatibility with the substrate. When testing for alkalinity, the
allowable readings for the installation of Armstrong flooring are
5 to 9 on the pH scale.
Temperature shall be maintained at a minimum of 65˚ F
(18˚ C) and a maximum of 100˚ F (38˚ C) for 48 hours prior to
installation, during installation and 48 hours after completion
when using S-599 Adhesive. When using S-240 Epoxy
Adhesive, the temperature shall be maintained at a minimum of
65˚ F (18˚ C) and a maximum of 85˚ F (29˚ C) for 48 hours prior
to and during installation and for 48 hours after completion. A
minimum temperature of 55˚ F (13˚ C) shall be maintained
thereafter. Condition all flooring materials and adhesives to
room temperature at least 48 hours prior to starting installation.
Protect all materials from the direct flow of heat from hot-air
registers, radiators, or other heating fixtures and appliances.
Procedure
Armstrong NATURAL OPTIONS should be installed using
Armstrong S-599 Adhesive full spread. NATURAL OPTIONS
installed in areas subjected to topical moisture or heavy rolling
loads must be installed with Armstrong S-240 Epoxy Adhesive.
Note: All Rustico patterns must be installed with Armstrong
S-240 Epoxy Adhesive. Detailed instructions may be found in
Armstrong Guaranteed Installation Systems manual, F-5061.
5. MAINTENANCE
NATURAL OPTIONS is designed to be maintained by
traditional resilient flooring maintenance methods. This floor
may be maintained by polishing, spray-buffing or dry buffing.
The urethane protective finish can make initial maintenance
easier, as well as reduce ongoing maintenance procedures.
Initial Maintenance Immediately After Installation
Sweep or vacuum thoroughly.
Damp mop with a dilute neutral detergent solution such as
Armstrong S-485 Floor Cleaner. Do not wash the floor for at
least four or five days after installation. Black marks and dirty
spots can be treated by spot scrubbing (use nothing more
abrasive than a 3M blue or green pad or equal).
If maintaining Natural Options with polish, as a temporary
measure, apply a minimum of two coats of high-quality
commercial floor polish such as Armstrong S-480 Floor
Polish to protect the floor until regular maintenance
procedures can be started.
Preparation for Commercial Use
For specific, ongoing maintenance procedures see Armstrong
Maintenance Recommendations & Procedures for Commercial
Resilient Flooring booklet, F-8663.
6. WARRANTIES
Armstrong warrants its regular (first quality) commercial floors
and wall base to be free from manufacturing defects and warrants the installation integrity for five years from the date of
purchase, if installed according to the Armstrong Guaranteed
Installation Systems manual, F-5061. This warranty extends
only to the original end-user. See Armstrong Commercial Floor
Warranty, F-3349 or visit armstrong.com for warranty details,
limitations and exclusions.
EXISTING IN-PLACE RESILIENT FLOOR COVERING AND
ASPHALTIC ADHESIVES. DO NOT SAND, DRY SWEEP, DRY
SCRAPE, DRILL, SAW, BEADBLAST, OR MECHANICALLY
CHIP OR PULVERIZE EXISTING RESILIENT FLOORING,
BACKING, LINING FELT, ASPHALTIC “CUTBACK”
ADHESIVE, OR OTHER ADHESIVE.
These existing in-place products may contain asbestos
fibers and/or crystalline silica.
Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a cancer and
respiratory tract hazard.
Smoking by individuals exposed to asbestos fibers greatly
increases the risk of serious bodily harm.
Unless positively certain that the existing in-place product is a
non-asbestos-containing material, you must presume it contains asbestos. Regulations may require that the material be
tested to determine asbestos content and may govern removal
and disposal of material.
See current edition of the Resilient Floor Covering Institute
(RFCI) publication Recommended Work Practices for Removal
of Resilient Floor Coverings for instructions on removing all
resilient floor covering structures or contact your retailer or
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. 1 800 233 3823.
The floor covering or adhesive in this package does NOT
contain asbestos.
