Initial 72 Hours: Newly installed flooring should not be exposed to routine rolling traffic (carts, litters, gurneys, etc.) for at least 72 hours after installation to allow setting and drying of adhesives. Initial 72 Hours and Thereafter: The bearing surface area of wheels is deceptively small, resulting in higher compressive forces than may be anticipated.
