SILENT BLUE® Installation Tips and Tricks
While this installation is recommended for SILENT BLUE® Underlayment, some manufacturers may have slight or even great variances to their preferred, recommended or even mandated installation instructions. However, any laminate underlayment should be installed free of rips, punctures or holes and the use of a quality polyethylene tape will prevent any moisture from rising to the laminate floor. Clean sub-floor, remove all debris.
- Clean sub-floor, remove all debris.
- Check sub-floor levelness. Float uneven areas if necessary. Check with each laminate flooring manufacturer for recommendations. Generally, no more than 3/16” over a 10 square foot span is allowable.
- Roll out the first row of SILENT BLUE® underlayment MYLAR SIDE DOWN, allowing the pad to run up the walls 1 to 2 inches.
- Begin installing your floor.
- When you are near the edge of the first row of pad, roll out the second row of SILENT BLUE® pad.
- Be sure to align the edges of the first and second rows as tightly as possible.
-
Tape underlayment seam with a moisture resistant polyethylene tape.
(SILENT BLUE® tape is available, offering a wider tape width that allows
for
easier rolling and added moisture protection.)
Tip -Tape must be a continuous, unbroken run to properly seal the seam. Overlap the tape if necessary to assure the seam is sealed.
Tip -Use moisture resistant polyethylene tape to seal any rips or punctures in the underlayment. - Repeat until installation is complete.
- Trim excess underlayment to allow for baseboard or quarter round install.
