6 Mil Polyethylene Film Moisture Barrier And Vapor Barrier Underlayment
Description:
6 Mil Polyethylene Film is a low density Polyethylene film that can be used during the installation process with floating laminate and engineered wood floors. No need to bother with large fold-out, low quality, off-spec, construction grade films, which are bothersome and hard to use before the floor is installed.
Application
6 Mil Polyethylene Film is also recommended for use with pre-attached floating wood floors in which the padding is attached to the floor during the manufacturing process. While installing a pre-attached padded floor, it is recommended to also install a moisture resistant film over concrete or any substrait where moisture is a concern.
Features
- Made with 100% polyethylene for long-lasting moisture protection
- Designed for use over most types of subfloors
- Helps protect wood or laminate floor from harmful subsurface moisture
- Covers 100 sq. ft.; roll measures 40 ft. x 30 in.
- Roll the film out and tape all seams for easy installation
Installation Instructions
- Before rolling out the underlayment, be sure to sweep, vacuum, and remove all debris on the substructure.
- Fill in any significant holes, gaps or breaks that may exist on the substructure.
- Roll out the Underlayment over the substructure surface.
- Splice each roll of underlayment with a 3 mil tape, duct tape, or similar pressure-sensitive tape that meets/exceeds the water vapor transmission ratings suggested by the flooring manufacturer.
- If installing MoistureBlock Film Underlayment with Self-Sealing film edge, simply connect the rolls by removing the liner from the tape and adhere to the edge of the previous roll.
- Always be sure to connect the film rolls together with the adhesive tape evenly so that there are no gaps between the adjoining rolls of film.
