FloorMuffler Encore Floating Floor
Product Information
This product is a floating floor, designed for easy installation over a structurally sound and level subfloor. It is important to ensure that the subfloor is free of dust, debris, protruding nails, and defects. If installed over concrete, the concrete must be dry with moisture emission rates that meet the floor covering manufacturer’s specifications.
Product Usage Instructions
Step 1

- If installing over concrete, ensure that the moisture emission rates are within the floor covering manufacturer’s specifications.
Step 2
- Start the installation in a corner of the room with the tape strip side next to the wall and the overlapping film facing towards the open room.
Step 3
- Unfold the film and extend it at least 3 inches from the foam.

Step 4
- Remove the adhesive liner from the foam.
- Adhere the foam to the film overlap firmly.
