Some other key things to keep in mind when preparing for your new flooring. What kind of budget should you plan for? A floor system can be $100 or $100,000 – as it depends on the area, the type of floor, the installation requirements, logistics, and many other factors that need to be taken into consideration. What is an Rh test? An Rh test examines the concrete substrate for relative humidity (moisture content) in the concrete. The moisture in the concrete can’t exceed the ability of the flooring adhesive or the installation will fail. If the Rh is too high for the adhesive, the adhesive won’t cure and will puddle. What is “moisture mitigation” and what effect does it/can it have on indoor flooring? If moisture mitigation needs to take place, it is sometimes costly but necessary for the finished product to be installed successfully. Moisture mitigation is a process using epoxy or other materials to limit the movement of water vapor into the finished flooring system. |

Does installation differ for indoor or outdoor flooring? Indoor and outdoor flooring installations aren’t all that different, though the materials vary. In both cases, the substrate must still be flat, clean, smooth, dry, and structurally sound. It is the make-up of the finish product that differs and sometimes the adhesive that is used. How long does the installation process take? The length of the process primarily depends on logistics, floor prep, the type of floor being installed, and the install method. Some flooring installations can be done in a day, others can take weeks. How long does it take to get new flooring ordered and in? Depending on the product, it can be handled relatively quickly (4-6 weeks) but given today’s supply chain issues, you should plan on 6-8 weeks from order to install. An experienced flooring consultant, like the team at Wellness Flooring, can and should set a timeline and expectations for every step of the project. One of the most successful strategies to make sure that your flooring investment is maximized, is to work with an experienced team that can help guide the process from the first site visit all the way through to the final inspection. If you choose to work with Wellness Flooring, you will work with a dedicated Wellness Flooring design consultant from the start.
