How long after an installation should a floor be protected from rolling loads?

Newly installed commercial flooring should not be exposed to routine rolling load traffic (carts, trolley jacks, etc.) for at least 72 hours after in stallation to allow setting and drying of adhesives. If rolling loads cannot be avoided, protect the installa tion for 72 hours after installation by covering with wood panels.
