PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 SURFACE CONDITION
A. Sub floor shall be structurally sound. Deflection shall not exceed 1/360 of the
span, including live and dead loads.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Perimeter Isolation Strip:
1. Install Enkasonic Perimeter ISO at the perimeter of the entire sub floor
(including door frames), and around any protrusions through the installation.
This procedure isolates the Enkasonic floor system from the walls in order
to create an acoustical break, which will minimize the transmission of sound
laterally from the "floating floor" to the walls. Also, the perimeter isolation
material provides space for possible expansion of the finished flooring.
2. Adhere the foam perimeter isolation strip to the wall with
construction adhesive applied as close as possible to the top of the
foam strip.
B. Enkasonic Sound Control Matting:

1. Lay the Enkasonic directly over the sub floor (or waterproofing membrane, if
applicable) with the black mesh down, white fabric side up. Push the
Enkasonic up tightly to the isolation barrier previously installed around the
perimeter of the floor.
2. If hardwood flooring and plywood floating slab are to be used, place a
layer of roofing felt on the sub floor prior to the Enkasonic.
3. If the waterproofing membrane is mopped-on, put a layer of roofing felt
over the membrane before installation of the Enkasonic.
4. Butt adjoining edges of the black Enkasonic mesh together. Then tape [Duct
Tape or 2" (5 cm) wide Cellophane Tape] the 3" (7.5 cm) wide longitudinal
fabric overlap snug to the adjoining Enkasonic strip. The taping procedure
seals the overlap seams and keeps any residual material from getting into the
Enkasonic mesh. Tape seam at intersection of Perimeter Isolation and
Enkasonic.
5. Enkasonic is free-floating. Do not attach it to the sub floor with nails,
screws, staples, glue or any type of attachment.
C. Flooring:
1. After the finished flooring is installed, trim the perimeter isolation barrier
to ¼“ (6.5 cm) below the finished flooring. Fill the groove with a bead of
acoustical sound sealant caulk. Do not allow hard grout to come in contact
with the wall. If the floor is carpet or vinyl, trim the perimeter isolation
barrier flush with the surface before the finished flooring is installed. Shim
the molding to 1/16” to 1/32” (1.6 to 0.8 mm) above the finished flooring
preventing a transmission path for sound between the finished floor and wall.
2. If a flat base is adhered to the wall, space it 1/8" (3.2 mm) up from the
tile surface, and run a bead of acoustical sealant into the void
