Why Do Floors Fail?

5/3/2012 -- The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 85% of all flooring installations fail due to improper subfloor preparation.
Three primary causes of floor failures are:

  • Moisture in substrate     
  • Improper use of patch or leveling compound     
  • Installation of flooring and adhesive over poorly prepared subfloor 


To ensure proper installation and avoid these problems trust your flooring project to a qualified INSTALL contractor. INSTALL crews are trained specifically in proper techniques necessary to minimize the risk of improper subfloor preparation. To find authorized INSTALL professionals click here.
