How do I lay the underlay

1. Ensure the substrate is dry, clean, secure and flat enough to receive the wood flooring.

2. When measuring and layingt the underlay, make sure you leave a 5mm excess to run up the wall.

You can always cut it down afterwards but you cant add more once you start tapeing it down.

3. Once the underlay is down and covers the desired area, tape all the joints and press firmly in place.

4. Lay the wood flooring, trim the underlay and then fit the skirting boards over the floor to neatly cover

the expansion gap.
