Installation of Underlayment9.1 To minimize damage caused by other trades, the proce-dures in Section 11 shall be followed.

36、9.2 Thick poured lightweight cellular underlayment thick-ness shall be a minimum of 112 in. (38 mm).39.3 A subfloor bond breaker shall be required. Asphalt-impregnated Kraft paper shall be stapled to the wood subfloor.9.4 Liquid foaming agent is diluted in water and mixed withair under pressure in a

37、 foam generator to produce stable foam.Concrete consisting of pre-formed foam is added to a cement/sand grout in a ready-mix truck to produce a thick pouredlightweight cellular concrete underlayment that is pumped ontothe subfloor.39.5 Where the thick poured lightweight cellular concreteunderlayment
