Installation Instructions

Acclimate U-PLY®X panels 24 to 48 hours to the room environment in where they will be installed.

  1. Install U-PLY®X printed side up before installing the finished floor.
  2. Install the long dimension of the panel perpendicular to the floor joints for maximum rigidity.
  3. Offset seams with sub floor seam by at least 6'. U-PLY®X scores and snaps with a knife for easy installation.
  4. Stagger panels, ashlar fashion so that four corners do not meet. Offset underlayment joints by at least 16".
  5. Leave a minimum 1/8" gap at walls.
  6. Lightly butt all panels, but don't force sheets into place.
  7. Fasten panels securely to a structurally sound, smooth, clean and dry sub-floor with 1/4" staples with chiseled ends and or 12 gauge non-staining galvanized ring groove shank nails.
  8. Make sure fasteners don't penetrate through the sub-floor into floor joist.
  9. Position fasteners on each X mark.
  1. Attach edge fasteners 1 1/2" apart and 3/8" from edge.
  2. Set fasteners flush or slight below the panned surface.
  3. Option 1: Fill all edge joints and other service depressions with a Portland Based Latex Modified Patch and lightly hand sand smooth. No belt sander, as we have pre sanded U-PLY®X. Make sure patch is FULLY DRY before installing the finished floor. Option 2: Do not use patch at all, just make certain all panels are lightly butted together.
