Installation Tips & Tricks
1. Clean sub-floor, remove all debris.
2. Check sub-floor levelness. Float uneven areas if necessary. Check with each laminate flooring manufacturer for recommendations. Generally, no more than 3/16" over a 10 square foot span is allowable.
3. Roll out the first row of underlayment, allowing the pad to run up the walls 1 to 2 inches.
4. Begin installing your floor.
5. When you are near the edge of the first row of pad, roll out the second row of pad, tape the seams together or staple down.
6. Be sure to align the edges of the first and second rolls as tightly as possible.
7. Tape underlayment seam with a moisture resistant polyethylene tape.
Tip - Tape must be a continuous, unbroken run to properly seal the seam. Overlap the tape if necessary to assure the seam is sealed.
Tip - Use moisture resistant polyethylene tape to seal any rips or punctures in the underlayment.
8. Repeat until installation is complete.
9. Trim excess underlayment to allow for baseboard or quarter round install.
