How Properly Prepared Substrates Help to Avoid Failed Flooring Installations
In today’s increasingly fast-paced construction environment, where time spent is money spent, successfully prepping substrates to ensure the successful installation of flooring is more critical than ever.

Floor Trends recently explored this issue with Gary Crowe, who is a territory business manager with Fishman Flooring Solutions in the company’s Mid-Atlantic Region, primarily covering Maryland, Northern Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Crowe has almost 30 years of experience in the building materials industry, half of it with Fishman, and is an expert on the proper preparation of flooring substrates.
