Begin the Installation:
Step 1: Properly Prepare your Subfloor
Before you start installing the vapor barrier, properly prepare your subfloor. Follow the flooring installation requirements for the flooring product you will be installing. Your area should be completely free of dust and debris.
Step 2: Lay the Rows of Underlayment
Roll the moisture barrier out perpendicular to the direction you are installing your floor. You will want to overlap the vapor barrier 4” to 6” and use the attached edge tape on the product to bond seams. All cross seams and fill pieces that have no edge tape should be overlapped and use waterproof tape to bond seams. You can let the moisture barrier run up the wall slightly where it will be covered by the baseboard or quarter round after flooring installation is complete. Continue laying rows until the entire flooring installation area is completely covered and all seams are overlapped and taped.
