Floorcovering installers install, replace and repair a variety of floorcoverings. They work with cushion, carpeting, vinyl, resilient tile, sheet flooring and seasonal carpet. In some jurisdictions, floorcovering installers may also install and repair pre-finished wood, unfinished wood, engineered wood, laminate and artificial turf.
This practice covers the procedure for determining the acceptability of concrete floors for the installation of resilient flooring. It also includes suggestions for ensuring that the constructed concrete floor is acceptable for such installations but does not cover tests for adequacy of the concrete floor to perform structural requirements.
Resilient flooring is one of the most challenging floor covering types to install successfully.
NFCA’s Quality Assurance Program (QAP) continues to grow across Canada helping construction teams understand and plan ahead to manage the challenges of installing floor coverings into fast-paced construction projects with warranties intact.
