SPRINGSTEP INSTALLATION

SPRINGSTEP IV

CONSTRUCTION

SPRINGSTEP IV, A, B, C, P

Springstep IV-P has a hardwood veneered surface used only for permanent glue down projects. It is available with all foam applications, and installs exactly the same way as other Springstep IV configurations.

Foam forms and Springstep IV panels may ship separately.
Pre-assembled Springstep IV is ready for installation.

1. Peel adhesive paper off of "L"'s and square shaped foam forms and 3" blocks and apply in pattern and illustrated to the rough side of the board.
2. After affixing foam pieces, flip boards over so that the smooth side is facing up. Starting in one corner with a full board, work left to right across the room cutting the last board if necessary to fit your width.
3. Press boards into each other making sure to stagger seams. See image #2.
4. Every other row should begin with a full board. Rows should alternate starting with full boards and half boards as illustrated.
5. Leave 1/2" gap at walls to allow air to circulate and floor to move.
6. Floor is complete when you reach the walls or the desired size.
7. Transition pieces, corners and edging are available.

Note: A vapor barrier over your slab is required with all subfloors.

For increased absorption of energy and a bit less spring, use SSIV-C. Follow steps above using 3" squares only in the pattern shown in image #3.

Foam Block Layout
Springstep IV-B (for increased resiliency)*

1. Attach foam blocks in the pattern with liquid nail or contact adhesive, or use our new peel and stick design. (See image #1.)
   
   TIP: Use spray contact adhesive to speed assembly, or use our new peel and stick design.
   
   NOTE: 2" foam blocks will provide greater resilience and more "spring" for high impact activities. It will also amplify sound better.


2. After affixing foam blocks, invert panel to look like photo to the left.
3. Press boards into each other making sure to stagger seams. See image #2 and #3.
   The average two-person crew can complete 100-125 sq. ft. per hour, 800-1,000 sq. ft. per day.
4. Leave 1/2" gap at walls for air circulation. Floor is complete when you reach walls or your desired size.

Springstep IV-A (for firm floor and sound reduction) Springstep is also available with 1/2" foam sheeting. Foam is loose laid over vapor barrier and Springstep IV panels are installed in the same pattern shown in image 2 and 3.
