Silencer LVT acoustical underlayment is suitable for ALL glue down and floating vinyl LVT, LVP, and (solid rigid core WPC, SPC, EVP) plank flooring installations. Offers the best support, moisture protection and sound absorption for your floors.
Approved and warranted for use under planks with or without pre-attached pad.
- Made with high-density polyurethane foam
- Reduces floor noise by providing excellent sound absorption
- Exceeds Air Quality and Flammability standards
- 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly
- Quick and easy installation
- Eliminates minor subfloor imperfections
- Adds thermal value and suitable for use with radiant heat flooring
- GREENGUARD Gold Certified.
GREENGUARD Gold Certification offers stricter certification criteria, considers safety factors to account for sensitive individuals (such as children and the elderly), and ensures that a product is acceptable for use in environments such as schools and healthcare facilities. It is referenced by both The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Building Rating System.
The Silencer LVT™ maintains the beauty of your floor like nothing else.
The Silencer LVT™ underlayment can stand up to the pressure.
- Silencer LVT™ is made with high-density polyurethane foam using rapidly renewable resources (soybean polyols and vegetable oils)
- Suitable for floating, glue down, LVT, WPC (solid core vinyl planks), and vinyl plank flooring.
- New revolutionary moisture barrier film for the best bond strength, durability and moisture protection up to 7 lbs. of pressure. In geographic areas where concrete subfloors are subject to excessive moisture, a calcium chloride moisture test is required. Vapor emission readings in excess of 7 lbs. per 1,000 square feet in 24 hrs. will require additional protection such as concrete sealant or polyethylene sheeting.
- Crushpruf™ technology resists indentation that enables your floors to perform to its fullest potential and last a lifetime
- Eliminates minor subfloor imperfections such as irregular surface over an open span (up to 3/16" in a 10ft radius), small concrete cracks up to 1/8" wide)
- Offers the industry's best limited lifetime warranty
- Suitable for radiant heat flooring systems
- This product exceeds ASTM test for compression strength required for some vinyl plank manufacturers
APPROVED SUBSTRATES
- Dry, completely cured concrete (at least 14 days old with HVAC operating)
- 3/4" interior plywood, OSB flooring, gypcrete (must be primed before glue down)
- Waterproofing and crack-isolation membranes
- Cement backer units
- Existing vinyl, wood, and laminate floors
FLOOR PREPARATION
- Subfloor should be clean, dry and level
- Follow the wood manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional preparation
Silencer LVT
Installation Instructions
APPROVED LVT/LVP FLOORING
• 100% virgin vinyl LVT/LVP with shrink resistant properties
APPROVED SUBSTRATES
• Dry, completely cured concrete (at least 21 days old with HVAC operating)
• ¾" interior plywood, OSB flooring, gypcrete (must be primed before glue down)
• Waterproofing and crack-isolation membranes
• Cement backer units
• Existing sheet vinyl, wood, and Ceramic tile floors fully adhered to substrate
FLOOR PREPARATION
• Subfloor should be clean, dry, and level
• Follow the vinyl manufacturer’s installation instructions for any additional preparation
QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION cuts with a knife
1. Install Silencer LVT ™ with film UP for floating installations.
2. For floating installations, roll out underlayment next to wall. Roll out next row in same manner
butting underlayment to first row (do not overlap). Seal the seams with moisture
resistant tape. Floating vinyl planks must be a minimum thickness of 3.2mm.
- For double glue installations, install film side down against substrate using a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive using a 1/16th” or smaller notch trowel on the subfloor. Roll out underlayment next to wall. Roll out next row in same manner butting underlayment to first row (do not overlap). Roll with a 75 - 100 lb. roller to smooth out any air pockets and to secure a good bond to the adhesive.
4. Install flooring according to the vinyl manufacturer’s installation instructions.
*****INSTALLATION GUIDE NOTE*****
Concrete slabs may be subject to higher moisture levels; a calcium chloride test is required. Vapor emission readings in excess of 7 lbs./1000sf in less than 24 hours will require additional protection such as concrete sealant, moisture abatement, or 6 mil poly-ethylene sheeting. (please follow flooring OEM's instructions verbatim with regards to subfloor prep). It is mandatory to properly prep the subfloor to meet/exceed OEM installation instructions.
Since we offer the industry's best warranty and track record and are willing to replace another company's floor parts and labor should our product fail, a properly prepared subfloor that meets/exceeds every major OEMs subfloor prep protocol is mandatory.
Shrinkage is NOT caused or controlled by the Silencer LVT underlayment; it is due to the inherited properties of the LVT/LVP Flooring. Should shrinkage of the flooring occur, FPC is not responsible.
