Wood floors are attractive and durable. Wood's environmental credentials are leading to its increased use in flooring in a huge range of locations. However, the long term performance of wood flooring depends on careful selection of the system and materials as well as installation carried out with the knowledge of the required service conditions/life.
We at TRADA Technology have a wealth of experience of both decorative timber floor coverings and their associated coatings and of timber based sub-floors (e.g. chipboard, OSB etc) even if overlaid with other materials.
In addition, iIt is generally recognised that current testing standards for floor seals are largely inadequate. Against this backdrop, TRADA Technology can offer the manufacturer/specifier up-to-date advice on the selection and application of floor seals and lacquers. We can provide comparative testing of products based on a comprehensive range of physical tests, which we have specifically developed for seals and lacquer coatings.
Our services include:
- Guidance on suitable species and specifcations
- Guidance on modern floor installation and current best practices for thier preparation and sealing
- On site and laboratory investigations determining the cause of premature failures, creaking and application faults
- Flooring product evaluation
- Comparative testing of floors seals and lacquers
- Consultancy and litigation services, including legal representatation and the provision of written statements and test reports concering flooring issues and defects.
