ROBERTS 70-102-1 Premium Underlayment
Installation Instructions
- Always follow the flooring manufacturer’s installation instructions concerning preparing and leveling the subfloor. Make sure the subfloor is level, clean, and dry.
- Concrete must be dry with moisture emission rates that do not exceed 3 Ibs/1,000 sq ft/24 hrs as measured by Anhydrous Calcium Chloride Test (ASTM-F-1869-98).
- The 4-inch overlap flap is not used for the first row of underlayment installed. Trim off the overlap flap before installing the first row. This material should be used later to properly seal adjoining rolls of underlayment and to repair cuts or tears that may occur during installation.
- Start in the corner of the room by rolling out the underlayment with the logo side facing down and the green side facing up. Run the underlayment 2 inches up both the starting end wall and the side wall (see Fig. 1). This 2-inch perimeter running up the wall provides a moisture-proof enclosure for the flooring.
- Lay a second row of underlayment alongside the first, with the overlap flap facing the first row. Allow for the ends to wrap up the end wall to maintain the 2-inch perimeter of underlayment around the room.
- Fold back the overlap flap to expose the peel-and-stick strip. Remove the white protective cover from the adhesive strip (see Fig. 2) and lay the overlap flap across the first row of underlayment. Press into place (see Fig. 3). Repeat steps 4 and 5 row by row until the entire floor area is covered.
- After the flooring is installed, trim the excess underlayment back to the height of the finished floor. Do this before installing the base or molding (see Fig. 4).
