How to install a subfloor.

Tools Required.

  • Hammer and tapping block
  • Circular saw or jigsaw
  • OvrX recommended leveling kit
  • Tape measure and carpenter pencil
  • Carpenter's square and pull bar
  • 1/2" Spacer Boards

    Step 1. After clearing floor space, check floor for imperfections. If there are imperfections greater than 1/4", we recommend that you use a self-leveling compound to fix them. Once this is done, lay down spacer boards in one corner, provide a minimum 1/2” expansion gap around perimeter of floor.
     


     

     

     

     



    Step 2. Align the first tile with the two groove sides against the   spacer boards. Add additional panels in one direction until you cannot fit a panel in. Measure the remaining space and cut panel appropriately.

    Step 3. Stagger the Second row of OvrX so that the seams are off-set.



    Level your Floor as you go using our OvrX leveling pads. Just slide the pad under the portion of the tile that is raised to eliminate excessive sagging.

    If your floor has a slight slant the stiffness of OvrX flooring may eliminate the need for leveling. Test your floor as you go by walking on the tiles to find uneven spots that require leveling.
     

  • When you install carpet, OvrX suggests:

    1. If it is a foam backed carpet, just lay it down and enjoy!

    2. If you are installing a carpet with tack strips,  we suggest that you put a TAPCON (cement screw) every 6 feet around the perimeter and then put 2 in the center of the room about 4 feet apart.

    3. If you want to glue the carpet, you must install a 1/4" plywood underlayment first.  Do not glue down carpet directly to the OvrX tiles.
