PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 Description
A. The information herein details a high profile cushioned system
comprised of factory pre-drilled sleepers with 48 durometer 7/16"
AIRTECH natural rubber pads attached 12" o.c. anchored to the concrete
with drive pins and finish flooring.
B. The general contractor shall provide a level slab, steel troweled
to a tolerance of plus or minus 1/8" in a 10'0" radius and subject to
the approval of the wood floor contractor. Moisture barriers must be
adequate for conditions. The concrete slab is to be depressed 2" plus
the thickness of the flooring specified.
1.02 Quality Assurance
A. All system component parts must be supplied by Action Floor
Systems, LLC. of Mercer, WI.
B. The Flooring contractor must be approved by Action Floor Systems,
LLC. of Mercer, WI.
C. Flooring materials must be allowed to acclimate to building
conditions on the job site in a dry, well-ventilated area, not in
contact with masonry, and shall be installed at a moisture content not
to exceed 8% except in areas of constant high humidity where the
moisture content of the flooring shall not exceed 10%.
1.03 Working Conditions
A. 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 wood floor area. The
building must be reasonably dry; all openings must be closed in;
permanent heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems installed
and operating before, during and after installation.
B. The concrete slab shall be dry, free of foreign materials, and
turned over to the wood floor contractor broom clean. Moderate room
temperature of 65 degrees or more shall be maintained a week preceding
and throughout the duration of the work. Humidity conditions within
the building shall approximate humidity conditions which will prevail
when the building is occupied. If prior experience indicates relative
humidity during sustained heating periods will fall below 35%,
building engineering shall introduce moisture into the area when
required. Conversely, if relative humidity increases to 50% or higher,
measures should be taken to bring the relative humidity back under
control. This may require turning on the heat.
1.04 Warranty
A. Action Floor Systems, LLC. warrants the material it ships to be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one
year and the flooring installer warrants the installation of the
flooring to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a
period of one year. The exclusive remedy under this warranty shall be
replacement of defective material supplied by Action Floor Systems,
LLC., or correction of defective installation by the flooring
installer. All implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for
intended use are limited to the period of this warranty. This warranty
excludes consequential damages.
B. This warranty does not cover damage caused by fire, winds, floods,
chemicals or other abuse, or by failure of other contractors to adhere
to specifications, or neglect of reasonable precaution to provide
adequate ventilation during hot and humid weather. This warranty
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 period of the warranty, the floor cannot be coated without
the approval of the flooring contractor.
