Over Concrete Sub-Floor Prior to installation of any flooring component, a concrete subfloor must be dry, clean, free of mildew and, unless suspended, integrally waterproofed, i.e. sealed. Install Homasote panels following appropriate category in “Over Wood Sub-Floor,” (top of page 2) based on finished flooring to be used, substituting concrete nails or fasteners in place of annular threaded (ring shank) nails.

W2) Installation for use as a Fabric-Wrapped Panel 440 SoundBarrier and N.C.F.R. Homasote panels have different textures on each side. One is a smoother linen texture and the other a rougher screen texture. Select the side to apply fabric that best suits your needs. Also notice that, due to the nature of the product, the surfaces of 440 SoundBarrier panels are not perfectly flat; determine the suitability of the panels as a substrate for your fabric prior to fabric application.
