0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

1. The following technical specification, code of practice etc. referred herein is form
a part of the Item Specification and work shall be executed accordingly. Items
which are not covered under Technical Specification shall be carried out as per
relevant IS Specification or as per manufactures specification or as directed by

4.1 FALSE CEILING WITH GYPSUM BOARDS

4.1.1 SCOPE OF WORK:

The work envisaged under these specifications refer to supplying and fixing in
position false ceiling at any floor, any location and at any height. Contractor has
to prepare a design & layout of the false ceiling pattern and get approved by the
Engineer in charge before commencing the work.

4.1.2 MATERIAL:
The Gypsum board shall be of the thickness as mentioned in the relevant items of
the schedule of quantities and the size of panels and the arrangement of panels
etc. for different area of the building shall be as indicated by the Engineer-in-
Charge. Gypsum board shall be of approved quality and shall be free from cracks,
bends and other defects. Samples of materials to be used on the work shall first
be furnished by the contractor and got approved by the Engineer-in-Charge. All
materials which are used on the works shall strictly conform to the approved
samples; other-wise the materials shall be summarily rejected.

The gypsum board shall be fixed to the frame work as specified by means of
suitable counter sunk brass self tapping screws not more than 200 mm. centre to
centre or as directed, and all holes after fixing the screws be filled with approved
filler. Necessary openings in the ceiling shall be left for trap doors, ducts etc.

4.1.3 ERECTION:
The Gypsum boards when brought to site shall be stacked carefully on floor over
wooden sleeper supports. The boards shall be cut to required sizes either by
sawing or by score and snap method. The edges shall be smoothened by wood
rasp file or with emery paper. Wherever required the edges of each panel may
require beveling which also shall be done carefully to the correct line and
dimensions. Teak wood or aluminium beadings if required to be fixed shall be as
mentioned in the item description and shall be carried out in best workman-like
manner. Any other treatment for cleaning/ finishing as specified in the erection
shall be done according to the instructions of the Engineer in charge.

The rates shall include the cost of all materials, labour, scaffolding etc. as
mentioned above and in tem description, unless otherwise specified

4.2 CARPET FLOORING

4.2.1 Material

Approved make 100% Optimum SD / Wear On Nylon Tufted, textured loop pile
having thickness 7mm-9mm with primary backing of polypropylene wooven sect
and secondary action back / PVC free underscore cushion, moth proof, stain
resistant etc. complete, over existing flooring as per Manufacturer's specification.
The rate shall be inclusive of the PVC free underscore cushion backing for entire
area to be covered by carpet. (Note: Volatile organic compound free adhesive of
approved make shall be used for laying the carpet.)

4.2.2 INSTALLATION
The floor must be completely level (i.e. free of holes, irregularities and remains of
old carpets), clean, dry, secure and stable. Seams and cracks between the floor
and the floorboards must be sealed with an appropriate sealant to prevent any
air flows from leaving dust deposits.

4.2.3 LAYING
The carpet underlay is laid on the floor at right-angles to the direction in which
the carpet is laid, and fixed in position with a suitable adhesive. When properly
applied, a non-slip adhesive provides sufficient adhesive strength and does not
leave any residue when the carpet underlay is removed. The floor must therefore
be completely level; otherwise irregularities in the floor will show in the carpet.
The carpet is glued to the underlay with a suitable adhesive. Due to the drying
time of the adhesive, gluing is done in sections until the entire carpet has been
stuck down. After the carpet has been glued in position, wait for a while before
putting any furniture in place to avoid permanent indents. The carpet must be
rolled with a laying roller. The time required for this is indicated by the
manufacturer of the adhesive and must be observed. Please observe the
manufacturer’s guidelines on the quantity of adhesive to be applied and
ventilation times. Foam backed carpet does not need to be stretched. Foam-
backed carpets should never be laid directly onto polished, varnished or vinyl
floors or they will stick permanently. Where the carpet pieces will join, overlap
the two pieces, and then cut through both pieces of carpet using an electric
carpet cutter, glued the gap and fix ensuring the edges will match exactly.

4.3 WOODEN FLOORING

4.3.1 MATERIAL
Providing and supplying Engineered Wood Flooring make as specified, with four
side micro bevelled. Planks would be 120 mm wide and in random length
comprising of 5 ply including top veneer with a total thickness of 8mm available
in species of Teak/ Hickory/ Saple/ Oak/ Distressed Hickory Brandywine/
Distress Antique Natural and respectively. The top 2mm veneer / laminate
Finish.

4.3.2 INSTALLATION:
It is important to ensure the sub floor on which the planks are being laid is
smooth, flat & hard & free from moisture, grease, etc. In case of uneven sub floor
 the same should be levelled by self levelling compound. The moisture level
present in the subfloor should be less than 8% before installation of the floor.
The Engineered hardwood should be a completely floating floor (using
recommended a water barrier of minimum of 250 microns and 2mm
polyethylene foam). The tongue and groove joints shall be glued together using
recommended adhesive. The installation shall be undertaken as per the
manufacturer’s installation instructions.

4.3.3 STORAGE & HANDLING:

The material has to be handled and unloaded with care. It has to be stored in a
dry place being sure to provide at least a four-inch air space under cartons which
are stored upon “on-grade” concrete floors. Flooring should not be delivered
until the building has been enclosed with windows, doors are in place and
cement work and plastering and all other “wet” work is completed and dry.

4.3.4 PREPARATION:
All concrete, masonry, framing members, drywall, paint and other “wet” work
should be thoroughly dry. The wall coverings should be in place and the painting
completed except for the final coat on the base moulding. When possible, delay
installation of base moulding until flooring installation is complete. Basements
and crawl spaces must be dry and well ventilated.
4.3.5 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:
• All tape should be removed and the floor should be cleaned with the
recommended hardwood flooring cleaner.
• Any transition pieces that may be needed should be installed or uninstalled
such as Reducer Strips, T-moldings, or Thresholds. The products are available
pre-finished to blend with your flooring.

• All underlayment (floating only) should be cleaned and any transition pieces,
reducer strips, T-moldings if necessary, should be installed or uninstalled.
Thresholds, bases and/or quarter round moldings that may be needed.
