Question: 1 / 165

Which document should be referred to for flooring installation codes?

The installation manual from the manufacturer

The local building codes

Referring to local building codes is crucial for flooring installation to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations mandated by local authorities. These codes provide essential guidelines regarding structural integrity, fire safety, moisture control, and accessibility, which are necessary for any construction work, including floorcovering installation. While the installation manual from the manufacturer, the flooring suppliers' guidelines, and instructions from home improvement stores can provide valuable information specific to the products or techniques used, they may not encompass the legal requirements that local building codes establish. Therefore, it is vital for a floorcovering installer to familiarize themselves with the local codes to ensure that their work meets all necessary regulations and standards for the safety and stability of the installation.
