GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The following installation instructions are recommended by Amorim Cork Composites, S.A but are not intended as a definitive project specification. They are presented in an attempt to be used with recommended installation procedures of the flooring manufacturers.

ROOM CONDITIONS

Temperature > 10ºC; Room moisture content < 75%.

SUBFLOOR

All subfloor work should be structurally sound, clean and level. The moisture content of the subfloors should not be more than 2.5% (CM) by weight , measure on concrete subfloors.

PERIMETER ISOLATION BARRIER

Install a perimeter isolation barrier minimum 35mm wide vertically around the perimeter of the entire floor. Spot adhere it to the wall with acrylic glue or a bead of silicone sealant.

GLUEING OPERATION

Unpack the AcoustiCORK T61 and observe a 24 hour period before proceding with its installation. A properly sized V-notched trowel and acrylic glue should be used to glue the AcoustiCORK T61 to the concrete slab. Always follow the glue manufacturers recommended instructions. A 48 hour period should be observed beetwen each glueing operation.

UNDERLAY INSTALLATION

Cut the AcoustiCORK T61 to desired length and install directly over the subfloor with crown of the rolled materials up (AcoustiCORK label facing down), removing all traped air. Butt the underlayment directly against the isolation barrier already installed.

Pull the loose laid material back. Using a properly sized V- notched trowel, apply acrylic glue to the concrete slab. Gently, return the pulled back material to its measure place and roll in both directions with a roller.

Proceed to cover the entire floor making sure that the joints are butted tight. After completion, the AcoustiCORK T61 should cover the entire flooring area without gaps and with joints securely taped.

FINAL FLOORING

Always follow manufacturers recommended instructions for installation of finished floor.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Never mechanically fasten the AcoustiCORK T61 to the final floor as this will severely diminish its acoustical value. For detailed installation instructions please contact us.
