Refer to the Vinyl Composition Tile Installation System for complete installation
recommendations.
Do not install over existing below-grade tile.
Use only S-515, S-525, S-750 or Flip Spray Adhesive over existing resilient flooring.
Solid color Feature Tile tends to show scratching and soiling more readily than patterned
flooring. We recommend not installing Feature Tile as full field installations or in high traffic
areas.

Installation
Custom insets require special skill and training. Here are some basic tips for installing insets in various
Armstrong floors.
ARMSTRONG EXCELON BASKETBALL COURT
All procedures for installing Excelon tile apply to the installation of the basketball court inset. The layout of the
basketball court is based on the location of the basketball goals. IMPORTANT: The backboards must be
properly installed and the correct distance apart before starting the installation. Check this by measuring.

Mark the floor at each end of the court directly under the center of the front edge of each goal by
using a plumb bob and snap a chalk line through these points. measure back 9" from each
original mark to locate the center of the goals.
Strike a perpendicular line at the midpoint of the original line. This will be the division line.
Use the center lines to determine the boundaries and strike chalk lines on four sides.
Construct a circle with a radius of 6 feet.
Lay out key and three-point lines. Use the center of the goal as the starting point.
Install the center court line, boundary lines and sidelines of the key following the chalk lines
outlined in steps 1, 3 and 5. DO NOT install center court circle, three-point line or key circle.
Begin laying tile at the division line and work toward the goals. Cut 1″ from each tile on other
sides of the division line so that tile outside the boundary will align properly.
Transfer the center court and goal reference marks, and rescribe the circles onto the tile.
Position the preformed feature strips along the scribe lines and adjust as needed by warming
them with a hot air gun. Hold the feature strips securely and score along the opposite side with a
knife.
10. Lay the feature strips to the side and warm the area to be removed with a hot air gun. Cut the
scored lines all the way through and remove the parts where the feature strips will be placed.
Scrape the excess adhesive residue smooth, spread new adhesive and install feature strips
