READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

TrafcMASTER laminate ooring is installed using a patented glueless locking mechanism.

Because this is a oating oor system, TrafcMASTER laminate ooring should not be nailed or

glued to the suboor. The oor should not be installed directly against any xed, vertical objects

(including walls, staircases, xtures, etc.); Allow a minimum of 5/16” (8mm) expansion space

around the perimeter of the room and any xed objects such as posts. Use spacers included in

the recommended laminate ooring kit to achieve uniform space around xed objects.

IMPORTANT!

Rooms measuring wider or longer than 30 ft (9m) require the use of T-moldings to allow for

normal expansion and contraction of the oor.

Be sure to stagger boards by a minimum of 12 in (300mm).

TrafcMASTER laminate ooring should not be installed in rooms where the relative humidity

exceeds 70%.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL TYPES OF SUBFLOORING:

TrafcMASTER laminate ooring can be installed over most oors such as vinyl, tile and sheet

oors. Substrates should be structurally sound and immobile. Before installing ooring, ensure

that the suboor is leveled within 3/16 in in 10 ft (2mm in 2m). Irregularities in the suboor should

be smoothed using a hydraulic cement base patching and leveling compound. Suspended wood

suboors should have a minimum of 18 in (45cm) of well-ventilated air space above the ground.

Concrete:

● New concrete subooring should be cured for at least 90 days prior to installation. (Moisture

test: moisture vapor < 3 lbs./1,000 sq. ft./24 hours per ASTM 1869 calcium chloride test).

● Install 0.008 in (0.20mm) age-resistant, non-permeable polyethylene vapor barrier over the

concrete suboor. Seams must be taped using adhesive tape such as duct tape. The vapor

barrier should be installed up the wall by 1 in (25mm).

● Sheet Vinyl, Tile and Wood Subooring: Moisture content of the wood suboor should not

exceed 12%.

Carpeting:

● Remove deep pile carpeting and padding prior to installation of laminate ooring.

● TrafcMASTER laminate ooring can be installed over industrial direct glue-down carpeting

installed over wood suboors without padding.

● Carpet installed over concrete must be removed. See instructions for installation over a

concrete suboor.
