Concrete slabs poured and finished at the beginning of a build will not align with the floor covering installer’s requirements for flatness and smoothness. Why is this and what needs to be done to ensure the installer accepts concrete surfaces with no disputes and no delays?
It is the responsibility of the floor covering installer to verify a flat and acceptable surface prior to installing flooring. Verification can be done several ways. One of them is the 10’ straightedge method – a test that has been misunderstood for many years. Graeme will discuss assessing surface flatness with this in mind.
If you do not moisture test concrete slabs prior to beginning floor covering installation, you are behind the times and risking significant, long lasting flooring problems. David will talk about the dos and don’ts of testing, the latest technology available and how to use it effectively.
