I was recently on a downtown luxury condominium project involving a good deal of LVT to review some concerns expressed by the general contractor. It was a six-story condo project, at around $1 million per unit. The LVT had been installed on the sixth floor, which had no permanent heat. There were fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The floor temperature was cold due to no heat to the fifth floor, beneath which the building was without windows and doors and still in the sheetrock stage: poor lighting, heavy construction worker traffic and soil and a gypsum substrate that was supposed to be dry but was soft and dusty.
I was met by the manufacturer representative, the floor covering contractor sales representative, the installer and the general contractor job superintendent. All of which were pointing the finger at each other. I suddenly went from consultant/inspector to referee.
