Engineered
Sub-Floor Type: Resilient Tile or Resilient Sheet Vinyl
Staple-Down Application — Vinyl or tile must be level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full spread adhesive.
Do not install over more than one layer that exceeds 1/8" in thickness over suitable sub-floor. Vinyl or tiles should not be
loose, crumbled, or in poor condition. Be sure that the staple will penetrate these materials and that breakage does not
occur. This application is not recommended if any part of sub-floor is particleboard or fails to meet plywood sub-floor
requirement. Perform appropriate moisture tests. A moisture barrier is required (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 6 mil
polyethylene film minimum).
Glue-Down Application — Vinyl or tile must be in fair condition, level, and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full
spread adhesive. Do not glue-down hardwood floors on resilient floors that exceed two layers. Clean surface thoroughly
with a good quality household detergent and de-gloss flooring as necessary to create a good adhesive bond using an
abrasive pad. If necessary, remove wax coating when present on vinyl, using an appropriate stripper. Perform appropriate
moisture tests.
Floating Application — Vinyl or tile must be in fair condition, level, and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full
spread adhesive. If floating application, a moisture barrier is required (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 6 mil
polyethylene film minimum) along with the appropriate foam padding or 2 In One Pad may be used. Perform appropriate
moisture tests.
Sub-Floor Type: Cork (Acoustic)
Glue-Down Application — Make sure cork is level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full spread moisture
cured urethane adhesive. The minimum density required for cork is 11.4 lbs/cubic foot; maximum density should not
exceed 13 lbs./cubic foot. The cork should be no more than 1/4" thick and constructed of pure cork with polyurethane
binders, installed to the manufacturer’s specifications. Cork must be rolled into adhesive. Cork is not a moisture barrier.
Before application of cork, concrete must be sealed (StrateStuff Substrate Safeguard recommended).
Floating Application — Make sure cork is level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full spread adhesive.
If floating application, a moisture barrier is required (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 6 mil polyethylene film minimum)
along with the appropriate foam padding or 2 In One Pad may be used. Perform appropriate moisture tests.
Sub-Floor Type: Ceramic, Terrazzo, Slate, or Marble
Glue-Down Application — The above tile products should be level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor by the
appropriate methods. Clean and abrade surfaces to remove any sealers or surface treatments to insure a good adhesive
bond. Loose tiles must be re-adhered to the sub-floor, and grout joints that exceed 1/16" must be filled with a leveling
compound. 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. Perform appropriate
moisture tests. A moisture barrier may be required.
Floating Application — The above tile products should be level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor by the
appropriate methods. A moisture barrier is required (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 6 mil polyethylene film
minimum) along with the appropriate foam padding or 2 In One Pad may be used. Perform appropriate moisture tests.
