GENERAL SUBSTRATE REQUIREMENTS
Structurally sound, well rounded, flat within 3/16" in 10' radius or 1/8" in 6' radius, vertical deflection cannot exceed 1/4" in 10' radius, or more than 1/16" between the floor joists. Floated option is approved for BELOW, ON, or ABOVE GRADE substrates. Glued-down option is only approved for ON or ABOVE GRADE substrates.
APPROVED SUBSTRATES
(Floated or glued-down options)
Subfloors over joist systems must be TECO or APA subfloor grade CDX plywood/OSB. The joist span cannot exceed 16" on center when using 5/8" plywood or 3/4" subfloor, or 19.2" on center when using 3/4" plywood or 7/8" OSB, or 24" on center when using 7/8" plywood or 1" sub-OSB.
(Floated or glued-down options)
Additional approved substrates: Cured concrete over 3000 PSI, cured gypsum cement backer board, cementitious & anhydrite screeds, radiant heated subfloors that do not exceed 85°F surface temperature, & gypsum or lightweight concrete (primed with TuffGrip LS Primer).
EXPANSION REQUIREMENTS
1/4" expansion gap around all exterior walls and permanent fixtures.
WOOD SUBFLOOR (EMC) MOISTURE CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
The subfloor must not exceed 12% MC (moisture content). Wood subfloors must be suspended a minimum of 18" from the ground with adequate ventilation. The ground surface of the crawl space must be covered with a minimum 6 mil plastic (moisture resistant) vapor barrier.
CONCRETE / GYPCRETE MOISTURE EMISSIONS, RH, & pH REQUIREMENTS
(For BELOW, ON, or ABOVE GRADE)
If floated: Properly installed – properly installed laminate or 6 mil plastic over the entire concrete or gycrete substrate.
Overall sealers: 2 & tape all seams with moisture proof tape.
(Please see below for approved options.)
(For ON or ABOVE GRADE) Glue down – Perform a calcium chloride test. It must not exceed 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet per 24 hours. When tested in accordance with ASTM F1869. RH testing must be performed in accordance with ASTM F2170. If the substrate tests are above or below these requirements, you must use a moisture mitigation or sealant system to prevent moisture related issues.
JOBSITE CONDITION RANGES
The jobsite RH must be maintained between 30%–60%, & the room temperature between 55°F–85°F prior to, during, & after installation.
ACCLIMATION TIMEFRAME
Minimum 48 hours to reach room temperatures between 55°F–85°F.
