THRUST-A-CUSHION SLEEPER SYSTEMS

THRUST-A-CUSHION SLEEPER SYSTEM

The most economical of all cushioned flooring systems. As with other cushioned systems, the cushioning provides a level of shock absorption that helps reduce leg fatigue and injury.

1. Finish Flooring: 25/32" or 33/32" thick x 1º" or 2 1/4" wide, continuous tongue and groove and end-matched Horner Northern Hard Maple, treated with WOODLIFE F preservative if so specified.
2. SLEEPERS: Thrust-A-Cushion Sleepers, 2" x 3" x 4' (nominal) SPF regular or R-1, kiln dried and treated with WOODLIFE F preservative, and padded with either 3/8" or 5/8" Thrust-A-Cushion or 7/16" or 3/4" SAFE™ pads. OPTION: Horner R-I sleepers notched to accept Horner R-I galvanized retainer or Horner R-II sleepers predrilled to accept a retaining pin, when so specified.
3. Wall Base: 3" x 4' Ventcove heavy duty molded, vented vinyl base with premolded outside corners and mitered inside corners.
