Installation Instructions
Tools and Materials
• Carpenter square
• Utility knife
• Chalk Line
• Tape measure
• Pencil
May be required:
• Mohawk HydroSeal 95 Moisture Inhibitor
• Mohawk SurfaceSeal Adhesive Encapsulator
• Mohawk PrimeCoat Primer
• Mohawk ActiveSound
™
Underlayment when needed to reduce sound transmission
Suitable Substrates and Surface Materials
• FLAT – Within 3/16” in 9’ (5mm in 3m) and/or 1/8” in 6’ (3mm in 2m). Sand high areas or joints. Fill low areas with a high compressive
strength (min. 3,000 psi) Portland cementitious compound.
• DRY – Select the appropriate moisture indicator test specifcially designed for use with wood or concrete suboors. Test and record moisture
content results on the last page of this document.
• STRUCTURALLY SOUND – Nail or screw any areas that are loose or squeak. Wood panels should exhibit an adequate fastening pattern,
glued/screwed or nailed as system requires, using an acceptable nailing pattern. Typical: 6” (15cm) along bearing edges and 12” (31cm)
along intermediate supports. Flatten edge swell as necessary. Replace any water-damaged, swollen or delaminated subooring or substrate.
• Fully cured, dry concrete on all grade levels (Moisture vapor emissions should not exceed 85% RH (ASTM F2170) with a pH range
between 8 and 9.
• Approved suspended wood oors and underlayment.
• Portland cement-based self-levelling underlayment and patching compounds.
• Prepared ceramic tile, marble and cement terrazzo.
• Aluminum, steel and stainless steel.
• Embedded radiant-heated substrates where the maximum surface temperature of the oor does not exceed 85°F (29ºC) in any area.
• Existing inlaid resilient sheet fooring-single layer, fully adhered and well bonded
• Existing vinyl composition tile (VCT) - single layer, well bonded over on or above grade level only.
Building codes establish requirements for structural support components of ooring systems which may not provide adequate rigidity and support
for proper installation and performance.
NOTE: Avoid suboors with excessive vertical movement or deection because suboor movement will telegraph through to the nished
installation. Nail or screw suboor panels to secure boards with excessive vertical movement or deection. If the suboor has excessive vertical
movement (deection) before installation of the ooring, it is likely it will do so after installation of the ooring is complete. Our warranties DO NOT
cover any problems caused by inadequate substructures or improper installation of said substructures.
