DO NOT INSTALL THIS PRODUCT OVER RADIANT HEAT FLOORING
STEP 4: SUB-FLOOR PREPARATION
All Sub-floors Must Be:
■
Dry and free of wax, paint, oil, and debris. Replace any water-damaged or delaminated sub-flooring or underlayments.
Scrape smooth and sweep prior to installation.
■
Level/flat within 3/16" over 10' and/or 1/8" over 6'. If sub-floor is concrete and a leveling compound is needed, use
Portland based leveling compounds such as Parabond or Ardex. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for applying
the leveling compound. Any area containing the leveling compound must be completely dry before proceeding with the
installation of the wood floor. If sub-floor is plywood or equivalent, high areas or joints can be sanded flat. Low spots can
be lifted to flat using shims or layers of builders felt between wood and sub-flooring during installation.
■
If plywood or equivalent, sub-floor must be structurally sound prior to installation. Sub-floor must be properly secured
with nails or screws every 6 inches along joists to reduce the possibility of squeaking after final installation.
■
Appropriate moisture tests must be performed as outlined in the “Step 5: Testing for Moisture Content” section
listed below.
STEP 5: TESTING FOR MOISTURE CONTENT
For Wood and Other Sub-Floors Types
Using a quality moisture meter, measure the moisture content of both the sub-floor and the hardwood flooring. Sub-floors
must not exceed 12% moisture content and the difference between sub-floor and hardwood flooring cannot
exceed 4%.
If sub-floors exceed this amount, an effort should be made to locate and eliminate the source of moisture before further
installation.
A moisture barrier (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 6 mil polyethylene film minimum) is
required in the staple-down applications of Indusparquet 5/16" and 7/16" Solid hardwood flooring products.
