Installation

Installation sequence

1. Fit an isolation strip around the perimeter. Lay the layer of FLOORMATE™ boards across the whole floor.
   
2. Lay QUASH™ EF. At perimeters turn QUASH EF at least 100mm up the wall.
   
3. Form butt joints between adjacent runs of QUASH EF. Ensure that there are no gaps.
   
4. Seal with self adhesive acoustic tape tape. Alternatively lay QUASH EF with 100mm laps taped to limit movement during screeding and to prevent screed from creeping between the layers.
   
5. Apply the screed. If a free flowing screed is used then overlap QUASH EF with polyethylene sheet (500 gauge) taping all joints and lapping it up around the perimeter by 150mm.
   
6. When lining the wall, turn QUASH EF down under the skirting. Trim off excess.
   
7. Fit floor finish
   
8. Install the suspended ceiling.

Handling and storage

QUASH EF is supplied in polyethylene wrapped rolls. Store the rolls on end in a dry place out of direct sunlight. Although the rolls are not heavy, weighing less than 20kg, they are bulky: take care when handling.
