Building upon its reputation for quality wood flooring underlayments and moisture control solutions, Fortifiber Building Systems Group introduces two new flooring underlayments for floating floor and luxury vinyl tile applications.
MP Global Products, LLC is an innovator in the manufacture of high performing made-in-America earth friendly acoustic underlayments for hard surface flooring.
Bill Mabeus, vice president of sales for Fishman Flooring Solutions, has been involved in evaluating and preparing thousands of slabs for flooring installations during his more than 30 years in the flooring industry. He recently shared with Floor Trends his unique perspectives on why the proper preparation of surfaces is so important to architects, designers, specifiers, building owners and end users.
Subfloor preparation is one of the most important parts of any installation. As the saying goes: “What’s on top of the floor is only as good as what’s beneath it.”
Most installation professionals understand what crack isolation, anti-fracture and uncoupling membranes are for, but confusion still reigns on what the differences are among the products.
With the increasing prevalence of floating luxury vinyl floors and larger, thinner ceramic tile, the need for a flat subfloor is becoming that much greater.
We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Joni Rocco, one of the owners of Artistic Floors by Design, a Colorado-based company and recipient of the prestigious “Best Residential Hardwood Installation Award” in 2014 and the “Designer’s Choice Award” in 2012, both part of the Wood Floor of the Year competition sponsored by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA).
Radiant heating has become quite popular over time, attracting a large number of homeowners to this convenient, comfortable and energy-efficient heating system.
