CLEANING
   
Check you have the correct floor style and colour, enough flooring to complete the job.

All pieces should be from the same dye lot (batch). Turn flooring sheets to get the best match. If there is any shade variation don't install and call your Altro dealer.

Inspect stair trims and moldings (nosings) and install them in the correct order. Some need to be installed before the flooring.

Contact your local Altro Transit office for specific details.
