Engineered
Sub-Floor Type: Resilient Tile or Resilient Sheet Vinyl
Glue-Down Application — Vinyl or tile must be in fair condition, level, and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full
spread adhesive. Do not glue-down hardwood floors on resilient floors that exceed two layers. Clean surface thoroughly
with a good quality household detergent and de-gloss flooring as necessary to create a good adhesive bond using an
abrasive pad. If necessary, remove wax coating when present on vinyl, using an appropriate stripper. Perform appropriate
moisture tests.
Floating Application — Vinyl or tile must be in fair condition, level, and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full
spread adhesive. If floating application, a moisture barrier is required (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 8 mil
polyethylene film minimum) along with the appropriate foam padding. Perform appropriate moisture tests.
Sub-Floor Type: Cork (Acoustic)
Glue-Down Only Application — Make sure cork is level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full spread
moisture cured urethane adhesive. The minimum density required for cork is 11.4 lbs/cubic foot; maximum density should
not exceed 13 lbs./cubic foot. The cork should be no more than 1/4" thick and constructed of pure cork with polyurethane
binders, installed to the manufacturer’s specifications. Cork must be rolled into adhesive. Cork is not a moisture barrier.
Before application of cork, concrete must be sealed (StrateStuff Substrate Safeguard recommended).
Floating Application — Make sure cork is level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor with full spread adhesive.
If floating application, a moisture barrier is required (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 8 mil polyethylene film minimum)
along with the appropriate foam padding. Perform appropriate moisture tests.
Sub-Floor Type: Ceramic, Terrazzo, Slate, or Marble
Glue-Down Only Application — The above tile products should be level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor by the
appropriate methods. Clean and abrade surfaces to remove any sealers or surface treatments to insure a good adhesive
bond. Loose tiles must be re-adhered to the sub-floor, and grout joints that exceed 1/16" must be filled with a leveling
compound. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for applying the leveling compound. Any area containing the
leveling compound must be completely dry before proceeding with the installation of the wood floor. Perform appropriate
moisture tests. A moisture barrier may be required.
Floating Application — The above tile products should be level and permanently bonded to the sub-floor by the
appropriate methods. A moisture barrier is required (StrateStuff Safeguard is recommended; 8 mil polyethylene film
minimum) along with the appropriate foam padding. Perform appropriate moisture tests.
