Simple to install

Ready to install, easy to handle, simple to lay capable of bearing foot traffic immediately

Step 1


Lay a strip of Fermacell flooring perimeter insulation along the outer edges against the walls to prevent transmission of flanking sound.

Step 2


The projecting jointing rebate should be cut off the edges where elements meet the walls to ensure a snug fit.

Step 3


Begin laying Fermacell dry flooring elements as shown in fig.1. The off cut from the end of the first row is used to start the second row.

Figure 1


If possible, whole elements should be used in door openings. Joints should be staggered by a minimum of 200mm.

Figure 2


Alternatively, boards can be laid from the door opening. Joints should be staggered by a minimum of 200mm.

Step 4


The joints should be glued with Fermacell floor glue (25-30m2 per bottle). See label for precise instructions.

Step 5


To acheive the required adhesion in the joints, the elements should be screwed together with Fermacell countersunk cross-slot screws or fixed with special galvanised resin expanding staples

Step 6


Once the floor glue has set and any excess material has been chipped off, the joints and screw or staple heads should be srtopped and smoothed with Fermacell joint filler.

Step 7


As soon as the floor glue has set hard. Fermacell dry flooring elements can bear foot traffic, and preparations can begin for the laying of the floor finishes.
