Engineered T&G hardwood floor is suitable for floating installation at any grade level, be it above grade, on grade
or even below grade onto a concrete sub-floor, wood sub-floor, ceramic tiling, or linoleum with proper site
preparation.
Recommended tools
1. Moisture Meter
2. 6 mil. Polyfilm and Foam underlayment OR 2-in-1 foam underlayment

Preparing and leveling the sub-floor:
 The sub-floor must be level, i.e., a slope of no more than 3/16" (5 mm) over 10’ (3048 mm).
 The surface should be clean and free of particles.
 If below grade, lay a 6-mil Polyfilm with seams overlapping 8" (200 mm).
 Fasten seams every 18" to 24"(450 to 600 mm) with duct tape or poly tape.
 Run 4" (100 mm) of poly-film up against the perimeter of wall.
 Lay foam underlayment by butting edges and duct tape the full length of the seam.
Floating Installation Steps:
The sub-floor should be free from any surface
defect. If it is not, fill gaps with Leveling material
designed for your subfloor type.
Lay out 4 to 5 rows of planks ahead of time that
match in terms of joints and color.
Cut out imperfections in planks or place them in
less visible areas.
Lay out a layer of 6 mil Polyfilm and layer of
foam underlayment OR 2-in-1 foam
underlayment.
Run 4” of the Polyfilm up against the perimeter
walls.
