Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare materials for installation
- Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to installing resilient sheet to bench and counter tops are verified and complied with
- Instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify process required to complete work tasks
- Substrate condition is assessed for suitability for installation of resilient sheet to the bench/counter top
- Suitable adhesives, trims and accessories are selected
- Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
- Sequence of work is planned, including the starting point, to ensure efficiency and quality of installation
- The aesthetics of the materials is maximised where appropriate, matching grains, colours and patterns
- Set out materials
- Resilient sheets to be installed are checked against work order
- Resilient sheets are acclimatised according to manufacturer recommendations
- Resilient sheets for fixing are organised and used in accordance with relevant safety management requirements
- Working lines and starting point are established
- Pre-form fillet is cut and fitted, if required
- Feathering systems and applications are prepared and applied in accordance with the installation plan
- Install resilient sheet
- Instructions and sequence for laying and fixing is followed
- Resilient sheets are laid out to meet directional sequence, pattern match, specification requirements, and to minimise waste and joins as appropriate
- The aesthetics of the materials is maximised, where appropriate, matching grains, colours and patterns
- Pattern templates of the bench/counter tops are produced, if required
- Resilient sheets are accurately and clearly marked for cutting
- Resilient sheets are cut to required pattern and shape with minimum waste of materials, allowing for final adjustment, trimming and welding processes
- Header and/or perimeter contact adhesive is applied to surfaces
- Resilient sheets are positioned in accordance with the plan, pressed out and hand-rolled
- Resilient sheet is heated to form required profiles
- Seams are prepared and welded in accordance with the plan, manufacturer instructions and industry standards
- Joins and/or seams are trimmed and finished to industry standards
- Completed installation is checked for flaws in installation and materials and faults rectified following workplace procedures
- Complete housekeeping
