The wood flooring shall not be installed until all masonry, plastering, tile, marble and terrazzo work is completed, and overhead mechanical trades and painters have finished in the wood floor area.  The building must be reasonably dry; all openings must be closed in; permanent heating and air conditioning installed and working before, during and after installation.

WARRANTY

B.       This warranty does not cover damage caused by fire, winds, floods, chemicals, other abuse or by failure of other contractors to adhere to specifications or neglect of reasonable precautions to provide adequate ventilation during hot and humid weather.  This warranty also excludes damage due to excessive dryness or excessive moisture from humidity, spillage, migration through the slab or wall or any other source.  This warranty also excludes damage to floors due to ordinary wear and tear, faulty construction of the building (other than the flooring installation), separation of the concrete slab underlying the floor, settlement of walls or use of water on the floors.

C.       During the warranty period, the floor cannot be coated without the approval of the flooring contractor.

 

 

 

INSPECTION

C.       All work required to put the concrete slab in acceptable condition shall be the responsibility of the general contractor.

 

FLOOR SANDING

A.       Machine sand with coarse, medium and fine grit sandpaper.

 Upon completion of floor installation, the owners, attendants or individuals in charge and responsible for the upkeep of the building are to see that the care and maintenance instructions of the MFMA are followed.  Failure to do so may void warranty.

MECHANICALLY FASTENED ANCHORED FLOORING SYSTEM

 

This low profile system combines the benefits of both the anchored channel and nailed down floor systems.  The encased ActionFast channel, with it’s great holding power of hardwood plywood nailers and wrapped by 20-gauge steel, clinches and anchors the flooring nails that are driven in through the tongue of the maple strip flooring.  This low profile system is dimensionally stable, eliminates dead spots, and has very good acoustical properties.  This floor is a good retrofit system suitable for gymnasiums, multipurpose, and commercial use.
