Installation Instructions Please carefully review the instructions for both Elastilon and your flooring material before starting your project. Elastilon is designed as a floating installation system, so do not permanently fix or attach it to the subfloor or install under permanent cabinetry. It is the responsibility of the owner/installer to ensure that the material, the environmental and the subfloor conditions are acceptable before the installation commences.
• In all below-grade applications, always install an approved 6 mil polyethylene film vapor barrier before laying the Elastilon. For concrete floors that are on-grade or above-grade, if the moisture parameters are higher than the required levels or the moisture levels cannot be determined, a 6 mil polyethylene film vapor barrier must be installed. All joints of the vapor barrier need to be overlapped by at least 8 in. (20 cm) and sealed with a moisture resistant tape.
• Ensure that the floor boards are fitted together tightly and straight and that they are free of any dust or contaminants before they are installed. See Figure (4). • When the first two rows are in position, apply forward pressure to the two rows so that the joint between them remains seamless, and then simply pull the white protective starter strip out from under the board to the edge of the flooring, being careful not to expose the adhesive face. See Figure (5).
will vary from one installation type to the next depending on subfloor type, subfloor deflection, species, milling and type of flooring material, relative humidity and the amount of topside pressure applied to the flooring material. For these reasons, “floor noise” is not considered a defect. Although these instructions are common to the installation of Elastilon with all hardwood floors, particular attention must be given to the following when installing thinner boards. For example: ½ in. (12.
