Installation

Subfloor preparation:

• Subfloor preparation is essential for the correct installation of Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment. Subfloors must be sound, smooth, dry and free from any contaminants which could affect adhesion.
• Please ensure each roll of Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment  is completely unrolled, turned over and left in the area to which it is to be applied for a minimum of 6 hours or ideally overnight prior to cutting and installing.

Laying Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment

• Bond Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment to the base floor. The Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment  should be bonded to the subfloor using one of our  recommended adhesives. You can contact us to provide the complete list of compatible adhesives. Please ensure the adhesive guidelines are followed at all times.
• Lay the Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment into the adhesive and press from the centre outwards to exclude air and ensure overall contact with the adhesive.
• Roll the Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment  with a 68kg flooring roller, from end to end and side to side to ensure overall contact.
• Please leave a minimum gap of 3mm around the entire perimeter to allow for expansion and contraction. Do not butt the Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment  against the skirting boards and/or carpet grippers.
• Use a craft knife and straight edge for cutting to size and please ensure that all edges are butt jointed.
• After 30 minutes, when the floor has been completely covered, roll once again to ensure contact is maintained.
• Please do not apply loads or move furniture on the Regupol® 3912 Acoustic Underlayment until the adhesive has fully set. Please refer to the adhesive manufacturer’s installation guidelines for curing times.
