Specifications

ADVANTAGES
• Silencer LVT™ is made with high-density polyurethane foam using
rapidly renewable resources (soybean polyols and vegetable oils)
• Suitable for floating, glue down LVT, WPC, SPC vinyl plank flooring.
• Approved and warranted for use under planks with or without
pre-attached pad.
• New revolutionary moisture barrier film for the best bond
strength, durability and moisture protection up to 7 lbs. of
pressure. In geographic areas where concrete subfloors are
subject to excessive moisture, a calcium chloride moisture test
is required. Vapor emission readings in excess of 7 lbs. per
1,000 square feet in 24 hrs. will require additional protection
such as concrete sealant or polyethylene sheeting.
• Contains
ultra
•
fresh™
, an antimicrobial protection that resists
mold and mildew
• Crushpruf™ technology resists indentation that enables your
floors to perform to its fullest potential and last a lifetime
• Eliminates minor subfloor imperfections such as unlevel surface over
an open span (up to 3/16” in a 10ft radius), small concrete cracks
up to 1/8” wide)
• Offers the industry’s best limited lifetime warranty
• Suitable for radiant heat flooring systems
• This product exceeds ASTM test for compression strength
required for some vinyl plank manufacturers
APPROVED SUBSTRATES
• Dry, completely cured concrete (at least 14 days old with
HVAC operating)
• ¾" interior plywood, OSB flooring, gypcrete (must be primed
before glue down)
• Waterproofing and crack-isolation membranes
• Cement backer units
• Existing vinyl, wood, and laminate floors
FLOOR PREPARATION
• Subfloor should be clean, dry and level
• Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions
for any additional preparation
QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION
Underlayments cuts with a knife
1. Install Silencer LVT™ with film UP.
2. Floating installations, roll out underlayment next to wall. Roll out
next row in same manner butting underlayment close to first row
(do not overlap). Seal the seams with a moisture resistant tape.
Install LVT/vinyl plank per manufacturer’s instructions
3. Residential glue down installations, same as above, then apply
adhesive to the top side of the underlayment per LVT/vinyl plank
manufacturer’s instructions. Double glue down is optional.
Commercial glue down installations: underlayment must first
be bonded to the subfloor with adhesive, preventing any
movement on the floor. Double glue down is required.
Double glue installations, use Silencer QuickLay spray adhesive or
other pressure-sensitive trowel adhesives (based on the adhesive man-
ufacturer’s requirement) using a 1/16" trowel on the subfloor. Roll out
underlayment next to wall. Roll out next row in same manner butting
underlayment close to first row (do not overlap). Roll with a 75 - 100
lb. roller to smooth out any air pockets and to secure a good bond to
the adhesive. then apply adhesive to the top side of the underlayment
per LVT/vinyl plank manufacturer’s instructions. After flooring is installed,
roll with a 75 - 100 lb. to secure a good bond to the adhesive.
4. Always install flooring according to the vinyl manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
