Permanent Sprung Floor System/Springflex Subfloor

  1. PERMANENT FLOORING SYSTEM

    1. Check that the subfloor is dry, even and dustless. Install the first component part of the subfloor parallel to the walls. Install subfloor following perimeter walls, and around the poles and pillars as well. Remember to leave a gap of at least 1/2 inch and up to 2 inches (large gaps will require special molding to visually cover the gap) between the wall/ pole/ pillars and the subfloor components. Wedges can be used to adjusted and maintain the gap. (See image 1)

    2. Install the first component row at a 45° angle to the wall. Measure 16’ 4” from the corner to each side. This is how you get a 45° angle. (See image 2.)

    3. Continue installing with the 45° angle. You can install several rows (e.g. 3 rows) at the same time. Check that the measurements between the elements are 14”(inches) center to center and the empty area between the elements is approx 12”(inch). An end joint in one row needs to be staggered at the minimum of 20”(inches) from an end joint in the next row. (See image 3.)

    4. Install the entire area. (See image 4.)

    5. Install wood boards on top of Stagestep’s SpringFlex subfloor. Apply a bead of glue on the subfloor strip prior to placing each hardwood strip. Maintain same gap distance from the hardwood to wall as used during subfloor installation. Space can be adjusted and maintained by using wedges. (See image 5.)

    6. Nail the wood board to each subfloor strip using standard hardwood staples. Fasteners should be of the glue coated type. Do not use normal nails or screws.  Follow standard hardwood nailing procedures using a hardwood floor nail gun and driving fasteners/staples through the tongue at 45° angle. (See image 6.)

    7. Apply glue to the groove of the short side of the hardwood board. Glue may also be applied to the length of the long side of the board. Also remember to apply glue between the hardwood board and the subfloor strips. Hardwood end joints in one row needs to be staggered at the minimum of 20 inches from an end joint in the next row. (See image 7.)

    8. Continue to lay the boards until the floor is finished, remove all wedges. Apply any additional coatings as instructed. If installing vented molding or other decorative trim pieces be sure to not install tightly against floor surface. (See image 8)

    STIFFENING

    The floor must be stiffened e.g. near the doorways, auditoriums, storages and other places, which carry heavy loads. Stiffen the sprung structure by using pieces of plywood. Use glue and nails to keep them in place. (See image 9)
