CARPET OVER INFLOORBOARD™
Infloorboard™ shall be installed over a wooden
subfloor, complying with “General
Infloorboard™ Installation Requirements For
All Flooring Over Wood Subfloor”. In addition,
the following specific cautions and instructions
shall be followed:
Carpet and pad may be installed over
Infloorboard™. When installing the pad, care
should be taken to avoid puncturing tubing. It is
advised that a thin layer of underlayment ply-
wood be applied over Infloorboard™ prior to
carpet and pad installation to protect tubing
from point loads. As with all radiant heating
installations, a thin slab foam rubber pad and
short, high density carpet should be used. If car-
pet pad is glued, a high temperature latex adhe-
sive must be applied. Glue to underlayment ply-
wood: do not glue to Infloorboard™ or to tub-
ing! Maintain 2” minimum tubing clearance
from carpet tack strips.
VINYL OVER INFLOORBOARD™
Infloorboard™ shall be installed over a wooden
subfloor, complying with “General
Infloorboard™ Installation Requirements For
All Flooring Over Wood Subfloor”. In addition,
the following specific cautions and instructions
shall be followed:
When installing vinyl flooring, it is required that
a thin layer of underlayment plywood be applied
over Infloorboard™. In wet locations, a sealant
layer should be added. Underlayment plywood
that has a grid printed on it helps locate tubing
runs and prevent puncturing the tubing when
the plywood is being screwed to the
Infloorboard™. In the case of vinyl, use under-
layment, filler and glues suggested by the manu-
facturer for use over radiant heat. Most vinyl
flooring is manufactured to an ASTM standard
with an upper limit of floor temperatures of
85°F. This limit should be followed. Attach
required underlayment with care to not punc-
ture tubing.
