Sub-Floor Solutions is a company that is dedicated to the management of the physical conditions that exist at the interface of a concrete substrate and the finish floor covering. Management of these conditions is crucial for minimizing floor covering failures, a multi-billion-dollar problem in the United States today. This problem is especially troublesome in critical delivery environments which exist in the Healthcare Market, where downtime caused by a floor covering failure could literally run into the millions of dollars per day in lost revenue. The conditions that induce such failures are essentially predictable and controllable, deriving from the lack of harmony between the specifications set forth by the Floor Covering Manufacturer and the tolerances required of the Concrete Contractor. There also is a fundamental incompatibility between the chemistry of concrete and the adhesives that are used to bind the floor covering to the concrete. Other aggravating factors may include impermeable floor coverings, accelerated completion schedules, insufficient preparation of the substrate, and improper concrete mixing practices.
