SPRINGSTEP INSTALLATION
SPRINGSTEP III
CONSTRUCTION
1) Seal concrete slab against moisture. 2) Roll out foam sheeting to conform to slab. 3) Tape seams of foam. 4) Loosely lay bottom layer of ply directly on foam. 5) Stagger seams. 6) Use 1" (25.40 mm) continuous thread wood deck screws with counter sinking heads. 7) Tape or patch screw heads and sand seams to realize smooth surface.
Note: Do not patch seams
Cross Section View (from bottom to top):
Slab, vapor barrier, foam blocks, bottom layer of plywood, top (finished one side) layer of plywood, adhesive or tape, and floor surface.
CAUTION:
By using substandard wood and/or hardwood, you increase the risk of subfloor failure. Rough edges, defective or non-specified screws can result in damage to your wear surface. Double check that your subfloor is secure and sound.
Do not use any wood with moisture content exceeding 10%.
