Focus on Resilient: If you are installing on concrete, get the hard facts

Among the many questions we get from NFT readers, there always seems to be a few regarding commercial flooring and the concrete that lies beneath. Specifically, installers and others in the trade wonder about the downside risk of installing resilient flooring on a substrate that has not been adequately prepared. They wonder about the effect on the resilient flooring products and adhesives. They ask what to look for and how to avoid costly claims. They say it is a persistent issue-particularly as more dealers look to the commercial market to offset sluggishness on the residential side. With this in mind I put together some of the more frequent concerns and how to cope with them. I would like to share this with our readers.
