Supex Cushion & SilverGuard Installation

Installation:
Before you start, the subfloor must be level, sound, dry and clean. The temperature must be a least 18°C. The relative air humidity must lie between 30 and 60 per cent before, during and after installation – use a hygrometer to check this. If the relative air humidity is lower or higher the right climate should be achieved by humidifying or dehumidifying. This also goes for the room in which you store the packages. The packages must not be opened until immediately before installation.

Underlay material:
In a floating installation you should use an underlay material to obtain an even surface and to reduce the sound of footsteps. Use an underlay with long durability. A wooden floor is hard, so it is important to install a shock-absorbing underlay. Our Supex SilverGuard & Supex Cushion are designed with this purpose in mind.

Remember damp proof membrane:
To protect against rising moisture you should always cover the entire subfloor with a damp proof membrane. A damp proof membrane is a 0.2mm thick polythene sheeting with long durability. The damp proof membrane is laid with an overlap of at least 200mm or sealed with tape.
