Advantages

  • The moisture barrier film and tape strip combine to lock out moisture, allowing for quick and easy installation.
  • Suitable for floating laminate, engineered and hardwood flooring
  • Contains Ultra-Fresh®, an antimicrobial protection that resists mold and mildew
  • Crushpruf™ technology resists indentation, enabling flooring to perform to its fullest potential - and last a lifetime
  • Provides cushioned comfort under hard laminate flooring
  • Eliminates minor subfloor imperfections
  • Offers the industry's best limited lifetime warranty
  • Eliminates hollow clacking sounds
  • Excellent sound absorption with ratings of >70 IIC db

Approved Substrates

  • Dry, completely cured concrete (at least 60 days old with HVAC operating)
  • ¾" interior plywood or OSB flooring
  • Waterproofing and crack-isolation membranes
  • Cement backer units
  • 5.5" GPS Super SubFloor Underlayment

Floor Preparation

  • Subfloor should be clean and dry
  • In geographic areas where concrete subfloors are subject to excessive moisture, a calcium chloride moisture test is required. Vapor emission readings in excess of 4 lbs. per 1,000 square feet in 24 hrs will require additional protection such as concrete sealant or polyethylene sheeting.

Quick & Easy Installation

(Not for glue down installations)

Requires no additional seaming tape, cuts with a utility knife.

  1. Install GPS Eco-Silencer+™ with film side down against concrete/subfloor.
  2. Roll out underlayment with tape strip next to wall. Roll out next row in same manner butting underlayment close to first row ( do not overlap ) and covering the moisture barrier film. Remove the tape strip and secure the overlapping moisture barrier film.
  3. Install flooring according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
