Opulence

Opulence is manufactured from EPDM rubber and may exhibit natural color variation between tiles or within individual tiles. Shading differences and slight dye lot variation are inherent characteristics of the material and are not considered defects. To achieve the most balanced visual appearance, Summit International Flooring recommends dry laying tiles prior to installation and blending material from multiple cartons. Tiles with greater variation may be positioned in areas that will be cut or concealed by furnishings. Samples are matched as closely as possible, though slight production variation may occur.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV radiation may result in fading or color change over time. To help preserve the appearance of the flooring, window coverings or other UV-reducing measures are recommended in areas with significant sun exposure. Note that even with UV Inhibitors, lighter colors are more prone to fading than darker colors.

For optimal appearance, stain resistance, and ease of maintenance, decorative EPDM rubber flooring should be sealed with an approved floor finish after installation. Once sealed, the floor can be maintained using conventional damp mopping, auto-scrubbing, and neutral cleaning solutions. Regular vacuuming is recommended between cleanings, and most surface stains can be spot cleaned using Soft Scrub® and a non-abrasive sponge.

If the flooring is not sealed, the textured surface may retain dirt and contaminants more readily. In these applications, periodic deep cleaning using an extraction machine or auto-scrubber with rotating brushes is recommended to maintain the floor’s appearance and performance.
