Site Requirements
Laminate is a durable floor covering, not intended as structural
material. Laminate requires a clean, dry, secure subfloor that meets
building codes.
The following requirements are not intended to supersede federal,
state or local building codes, but as with many other interior finish
products, may require modifying existing structural components for
successful installation. Owner assumes responsibility for compliance
with all building codes.
Laminate floor is suitable for use in climate controlled (35-65% RH
and 60-85° F) indoor installations only and should not be installed
over any floor with a sump pump or in a room with a floor drain.
Laminate floor can be installed above, on or below grade.
A moisture test is strongly recommended to determine if high
moisture exists in the subfloor. When using a calcium chloride
moisture test for concrete subfloors (ASTM F1869), values must be ≤
5 lbs/1000ft/24-hr or <80% RH with an in-situ probe (ASTM F2170).
Moisture readings of wood subfloors must be ≤ 12%.
Acceptable job site conditions, including relative humidity and
subfloor moisture conditions, must be maintained throughout the
lifetime of the flooring.
Laminate flooring is installed as a floating floor 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 fixed
obstructions.
This product must be installed in accordance with these installation
instructions.
