Installing over a Concrete Slab

Aeratis can be installed over concrete to bring your porch back to the look of a traditional tongue and groove porch floor.

Installing over concrete is much like installing over a joist system. First, before you begin, read the installation instructions completely. Aeratis is installed with the same installation method as wood but there are key items that will help reduce headaches and maintenance in years to come.

.

First: Measure the height of our threshold. This will determine the height of your cross sleeper system.

Second: Anchor the 2×4′s directly to the concrete slab or through the rubber membrane covering the slab 16″ OC.

Finally: Fasten Aeratis to the 2×4 sleepers as if they were a floor joist.

Make a note to add vents. This will help any moisture escape and will help keep your 2×4′s dry.
