A subcontractor has installed a mannington commercial tile, Cameo, which is a felt backed product. They come in 18 X 18 tiles. The product has been discontinued by Mannington Commercial, and was supplied to me by the owner. The recommended glue (Mannington V-85) has also been discontinued, so we used a Mappai product that was considered an equivalent. I now have floors that are bubbling, tiles that are expanding, and edges that are curling, due to growing tiles. During our repairs, we tried different installation techniques, wet set, pressure, putting weights on tiles after installation, but to no avial. 85% of the floor is down and holding great, mostly in smaller areas like bathrooms, hallways, offices. Larger rooms seem to be where the majority of the problem is. I have a real problem that we the installer, contractor, owner, sales reps(mappai), are all scratching our heads to figure out. I believe it is the product that is dimensionally unstable, and hate to keep wasting time and money working with it.
Does anyone have experience with this product?
