1.1 This specification covers the requirements for the compound and physical characteristics of heterogeneous polyurethane tile or plank flooring that is printed or otherwise decorated to achieve a pattern or visual and protected by a clear wear layer. 1.2 This specification covers...
4.1 There is typically a higher concentration of soluble alkali salts in the surface region of a concrete slab due to the initial bleeding process of a freshly placed concrete slab. If after a resilient floor covering material is installed there is sufficient moisture within the slab to place these...
1.1 This practice covers a procedure for collection of dislodgeable pesticide residues from indoor floor surfaces. 1.2 This practice and the sampling methodology described are applicable to bare floors or covered floor surfaces, for example, carpeting and vinyl flooring. 1.3 This practice...
5.1 Whiteness index obtained from reflectance measurements on exaggerated dried polish films on filter paper can be used as a measurement of the color of such films. 5.2 Whiteness index may be useful in predicting the potential discoloring effect of polish films on flooring substrates. 5.3...
1.1 This practice covers the instructions and precautions to be observed to ensure satisfactory performance of seams in resilient flooring sealed by the heat weld method. 1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the...
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relative ease of removal of dried films of water-emulsion floor polishes from common flooring substrates under accelerated conditions, which correspond to extended service aging. 1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the...
1.1 This specification establishes minimum requirements for adhesives used for the installation of resilient floor coverings, within a climate-controlled structure, when adhered directly and permanently to a structurally sound and recommended substrate. 1.2 This specification will provide the means...
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for the compound and physical characteristics of heterogeneous polyurethane sheet flooring that is printed or otherwise decorated to achieve a pattern or visual and protected by a clear wear layer. 1.2 This specification covers heterogeneous...
4.1 There is typically a higher concentration of soluble alkali salts in the surface region of a concrete slab due to the initial bleeding process of a freshly placed concrete slab. If after a resilient floor covering material is installed there is sufficient moisture within the slab to place these...
1.1 This practice covers the determination of the acceptability of a concrete floor for the installation of resilient flooring. 1.2 This practice includes suggestions for the construction of a concrete floor to ensure its acceptability for installation of resilient flooring. 1.3 This...
4.1 Use this test method to obtain a quantitative value indicating the rate of moisture vapor emission from the surface of a concrete floor and whether or not that floor is acceptable to receive resilient floor covering. The moisture vapor emission rate only reflects the condition of the concrete...
This specification covers the requirements for aggregate-filled, resin-based, monolithic surfacing for use over concrete floors in areas where chemical resistance and the protection of concrete are required. The application methods for these floor surfacing shall include troweled, broadcast, slurry...
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for the compound and physical characteristics of heterogeneous polyurethane tile or plank flooring that is printed or otherwise decorated to achieve a pattern or visual and protected by a clear wear layer. 1.2 This specification covers...
1.1 This practice covers the instructions and precautions to be observed to ensure satisfactory performance of seams in sheet resilient flooring sealed with liquid seam sealers. 1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is...
1.1 This practice covers the determination of whether or not a substrate surface, in lieu of written instruction from a product manufacturer, is considered porous or non-porous prior to the installation of resilient flooring materials. 1.2 Although carpet tiles, carpet, wood flooring,...
5.1 Moisture in concrete floor slabs affects the performance of flooring systems such as resilient, wood, and textile floor coverings and coatings. Manufacturers of such systems generally require moisture testing be performed before installation of coverings on floor slabs and screeds. The...
3.1 The test methods presented herein are intended to provide both a factual and comparative means of appraising the suitability of finish flooring. The procedures developed simulate some conditions of use that may require either maintenance beyond that considered normal or replacement of...
4.1 Use-This guide is intended for use on a voluntary basis by parties who wish to obtain a limited survey of commercial real estate to assess for readily observable moisture affected materials and physical deficiencies conducive to elevated moisture as part of a commercial real estate transaction...
