 Crawl Space & Proper Conditions * Crawl space should be a minimum of 18” (457mm) from ground to underside of joists. * Building codes state that the space between the bottom of the floor joists and the earth that is not a basement needs outside ventilation. There should be vents on all crawl space walls. They should provide a minimum of 1.5 square foot of vent area for every 150 square feet of crawl space area. If the V/B is installed then the formula is 1.0 square feet per 1,500 square feet. * Minimum of 6 mil black vapor barrier overlap 8" and up 6" on stem walls and properly sealed & or taped, with no exposure to the earths/or grade. Local Building codes does take precedence. * Walls that accept or gain moisture proper protection is also required. * Duck work are required to be sealed with required tape and or sealant. * Homes Proper Ventilation should also have proper return air flow within the the conditioned home with a 1 square foot of split ventilation from either ridge vent and or soffit areas per 150 square feet of Living space.

 2 Examples of two different products, do you use the same mixer. Higher rpm will incorporate to much air and will have air pockets that can impact the technology behind the materials, Move up and down Can also cause problems. Versa Bond :Mixing Procedures Mix by hand or use a low 150-200 RPM speed 1/2" (13 mm) drill to achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency. Let the mixture slake or stand 5-10 minutes; stir again and use. Stir occasionally, but do not add more water. When properly mixed, troweled ridges will stand without slump. Slowly add Novoplan Easy Plus powder into the pre-measured water. Use a high-speed drill and an oval paddle mixer to mix Novoplan Easy Plus to a homogenous, lump-free consistency. Continue to mix for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overmix. Overmixing or moving the mixer up and down during the mixing process could trap air or cause pinholing during the application and curing process. 

 Flooring adapting to a new temperature, altitude, climate, environment, or situation requires time to acclimate properly acclimated to a new environment. With a long list of who? is responsible. The following are the golden rules. * Builder is responsible to ensure moisture control policies have been put in place and implemented to protect all building components, including, but not limited to, all flooring materials & especially wood flooring. * Installer is responsible to record current jobsite conditions at the time of mobilization installation and to confirm that flooring and its sundries meet flooring manufacturer’s requirements. * End User responsible to keep the environment within those proper manufactures conditions, in the event you are acting as a G/C or in any capacity like a P/M or a DYI then you fall directly in the "Builder" category.

 Class 1 premium measuring tape. Ultra hard end hook ensures consistently accurate inside and outside measurements. accuracy of +/- : Class I rated tapes are the most accurate and an error of no more than ±1.1mm over a 10m length can be anticipated Class 2 measuring tape accuracy of Class II tape allows for a potential error of ±2.3mm over a 10m length 

 The Myth/Facts of this term is widely used improperly. Fact Check: * 1" Slab Hydrate (Dries) at a estimated rate of 30 Days * 4" Slab will require (4 Months or 120 days) * 5" Slab will require (5 Months or 150 days) * 6" Slab will require ( 6 Months or 180 days) Caveat to above information starts when the "Conditions" start of the clock on the jobsite are when proper moderate condition's are achieved prior to any Flooring Installation Schedule set forth. 

 Temperatures & LVT/SPC Flooring expands & contracts. Understanding PH on the surface and its "Health Records" aka pre existing conditions of Hydrostatic pressure, High pH, Curing Compounds, Osmotic Blistering, or Alkali Silica reaction, old adhesive, plasticizer migration ALL may affect these products If you do not do your due diligence on a full and complete/comprehensive review and testing, your "Slab/Substrate" will be visiting the claims doctor for a detailed and complete examination
