The subfloor provides a moisture barrier and a nailing surface for installing the carpet or wood floors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Before installing a subfloor over the concrete slab it\u2019s important to check for adequate headroom height. Building codes typically require 7 feet 6 inches of clearance between the finished floor and ceiling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The typical subfloor has a height of 2-1\/4\u201d and a finished wood floor could add another \u00be inch. So from the concrete slab to the finished ceiling you need a minimum of 7 feet 9 inches of height to install a subfloor over the concrete slab.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After confirming there is sufficient height to build a subfloor and insulate the concrete slab floor, evaluate the state of the concrete slab. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If there are water problems they need to be addressed first. Use hydraulic cement or some other type of concrete crack repair product to seal cracks. If there are high spots on the concrete floor you may need to grind them down a bit.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000ASBCK4\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=f845b019f9dc20a4fe5f9208b4ec8e19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000ASBCK4\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After evaluating and repairing the concrete slab, vacuum it thoroughly and apply a concrete water sealer to its surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, cover the entire concrete slab with 6 mil thick polyethylene plastic. The plastic acts as a moisture barrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Make sure seams overlap by 6 inches and apply duct tape to the seams.

When installing the plywood start alternate rows with half sheets of plywood. This helps to lock in the plywood pieces and create a stronger subfloor surface. Fasten the plywood to the sleepers with 6d nails. Apply nails every 12 inches under the plywood panel centers and every 6 inches along the plywood panel seams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With the subfloor installed and your concrete slab floor insulated you can then install your preferred finished flooring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>For help on finding a wood flooring installation contractor<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">, see HomeAdditionPlus.com\u2019s <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/wood-flooring-installation-bid-sheet\/\">Wood Flooring Installation Bid Sheet<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">It will help ensure that you find and hire the right flooring installation\u00a0contractor for your wood flooring project.\u00a0In addition, it will help to ensure that your wood floor installation is completed on time and on budget<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/wood-flooring-installation-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18946 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Wood_Floor_Installation_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Wood_Floor_Installation_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Wood_Floor_Installation_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #008000;
