QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION

1. The subfloor surface must be clean and dry before installation.
2. Start on a corner of the room wall. Unroll Eclipse II underlayment (film side down) over the subfloor.
   Be sure the tape strip side is next to the wall and the overlapping film lip is toward the open room.
3. Roll out the next row in the same manner butting foam close to the first row and covering the overlapping plastic film lip.
   Do not overlap the foam pad just the overlapping plastic film lip.
4. Remove the tape liner and secure the overlapping plastic film lip to it. Continue with installation.
   Seal all open seams with aggressive adhesive plastic tape.
5. Install flooring per manufacturer's instructions.
