INSTALLATION METHODS
FLOATING FLOORS
- Roll out underlayment and flip over so vapor barrier side is facing up and butt seams together
- Apply moisture barrier seam tape, and ensure underlayment seams run perpendicular to the floor covering seams
- Click & lock floating floors over the top according to manufacturer
DOUBLE GLUED DOWN FLOORS
- Roll out underlayment and flip over so vapor barrier side is facing up and butt seams together, ensure seams run perpendicular to the flooring seams
- Adhere to subfloor using pressure sensitive adhesive and recommended trowel size and install method
- Roll over the underlayment with a 75 or 100 pound roller
- Adhere flooring over the top using floor manufacturer’s recommended adhesive and trowel size. Follow all adhesive manufacturer’s instructions for appropriate bonding
SOLID & ENGINEERED NAIL-DOWN HARDWOOD
-
Be sure the subfloor is clean and free of dust and debris
-
Unroll the underlayment and place embossed side down to the subfloor.
-
Install underlayment in opposite direction to the laminate or hardwood floor.
Start in a corner and roll out underlayment, installing it flush to the walls. -
Continue the next row in the same manner until the whole room is covered.
You can tape the seams but it is not necessary. -
Install the hardwood per manufactures written instructions. Install baseboard slightly off floor to avoid flanking path.

SOUND PROPERTIES
IMPACT SOUND TRANSMISSION
The method is designed to measure the impact sound transmission performance of
a floor-ceiling assembly in a controlled laboratory environment.
| IIC | Flooring | Sub-floor |
|---|---|---|
| 70 | 4mm Floating Plank | over a 6” concrete subfloor with a suspended ceiling |
| 50 | 4mm Floating Plank | over a 6” concrete subfloor with NO ceiling |
| 69 | 2mm Glued Plank | over a 6” concrete subfloor with a suspended ceiling |
SOUND TRANSMISSION LOSS
The sound-insulating property of a partition element is expressed in terms of
the sound transmission loss.
| STC | Flooring | Sub-floor |
|---|---|---|
| 62 | 4mm Floating Plank | over a 6” concrete subfloor with a suspended ceiling |
| 51 | 4mm Floating Plank | over a 6” concrete subfloor with NO ceiling |
| 61 | 2mm Glued Plank | over a 6” concrete subfloor with a suspended ceiling |
DELTA TEST
Tests the impact insulation difference between a bare concrete subfloor with
no flooring materials and the same concrete subfloor with flooring and
underlayment.
| Delta IIC | Flooring |
|---|---|
| Up to 22 | SoundStep LV under 4mm Luxury Vinyl Tile |
