B.
PREPARATION
A.
Subfloor shall be structurally sound. Subfloor shall be clean and free of all mud, oil, grease
and any other contaminants prior to pouring underlayment.

envelope shall be enclosed (all windows, doors, roofing and other openings). Pour
AccuRadiant Floor Underlayment after the installation of drywall. Radiant tubing or
electric heating cable shall be securely fastened to the substrate.
Prime all subfloors prior to the installation of the AccuRadiant Floor Underlayment
System. Use an approved AccuCrete primer following the recommended dilution
factors.
Pour the AccuRadiant Floor Underlayment to a minimum thickness of 3/4 inch (19
mm) over the top of the hot water tubes while spreading and finishing to a smooth
surface. Excluding authorized joints, spread product in a continuous, monolithic
application taking caution to not pour any wet slurry against any material that has
already achieved an initial set.
General contractor shall provide continuous ventilation and heat in order to rapidly
remove excess moisture from the area of the installation until such time as the
underlayment is dry.
C.
B.
Application of Underlayment:
1.
Prior to the application of underlayment, the building envelope shall be enclosed (all
windows, doors, roofing, and other openings). Underlayment can be poured prior to or
after the installation of drywall. Consult licensed AccuLevel Applicator on the
appropriate protective measure once the underlayment is placed.
2.
Prime all subfloors prior to the installation of underlayment.
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** AccuLevel G40. Delete if not required.
3.
Pour underlayment to a minimum thickness of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) over a concrete or
precast substrate, while spreading and finishing to a smooth surface. AccuLevel G40
should not be poured to a featheredge. Except at authorized joints, spread product in
a continuous, monolithic application.
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** AccuLevel G50. Delete if not required.
4.
Pour underlayment to a minimum thickness of 1/8 inch (3 mm) over a concrete or
precast substrate, while spreading and finishing to a smooth surface. AccuLevel G50
can be poured to a featheredge. Except at authorized joints, spread product in a
continuous, monolithic application.

1.
After the underlayment has cured, remove any loose or foreign material from the
surface.
2.
For tile and stone installation, a water proofing and crack isolation membrane is
recommended but not required.
3.
For Portland based adhesives, a floor sealer is recommended. Water-based
adhesives will generally not require a floor sealer unless the porosity of the
underlayment does not allow sufficient working time. Solvent based, or moisture cured
urethanes do not normally require (and are normally not compatible with) a surface
sealer. In applications where the floor goods manufacturer differs from these
recommendations, the floor goods manufacturers' recommendations will supersede all
others.
