Job Site
Site Requirements
Laminate is a durable oor covering, not intended as structural
material. Laminate requires a clean, dry, secure suboor that meets
building codes.
Laminate oor is suitable for use in climate controlled (35-65% RH
and 60-85° F) indoor installations only and should not be installed
in rooms with oor drains or sump pumps. Laminate oor can be
installed above, on or below grade.
A moisture test is strongly recommended to determine if high
moisture exists in the suboor. When using a calcium chloride
moisture test for concrete suboors (ASTM 1869), values must be
≤ 5 lbs/1000ft²/24-hr or <80% with an in situ probe (ASTM F2170).
Moisture readings of wood suboors must be ≤ 12%.
Acceptable job site conditions, including relative humidity and
suboor moisture conditions, must be maintained throughout the
lifetime of the ooring.
Laminate ooring is installed as a oating oor and requires the use
of T-moldings in doorways 4 ft (1.22m) or less and in rooms 40 feet
(12.2 m) or larger in length or width. Floor movement must not be
constrained by glue, nails, screws, hardware or other xed
obstructions.
This product must be installed in accordance with these installation
instructions.
DO NOT tap the short side.
