Component Manufacturing Lab Flooring: Why Moisture Testing Saved a $50K+ Installation
HHB1's component manufacturing lab relocation required more than just sheet vinyl installation. Pre-install moisture testing revealed RH readings above manufacturer limits — a silent killer of resilient flooring. DCF executed a complete ASTM F3010 moisture mitigation system (shotblasting, crack repair, epoxy moisture barrier, self-leveling underlayment) before installing 1,237 SF of heat-welded Mannington Biospec MD sheet vinyl with flash cove base. This case study shows why GC-level thinking prevents $30K-$50K failures and protects long-term flooring performance.
