Floors and Flooring
Floors and flooring can be tested for a variety of purposes including composition, the achievement of certain certifications, the integrity of product, extent of damage to an existing floor, or for presence of chemicals. Manufacturers, builders, and consumers can all benefit from the testing of flooring and different tests are required for different needs.
Floors and Flooring Testing is a process that looks at the composition and integrity of a product. Testing is often done on a sample of flooring. The test can show if the flooring meets standards, outperforms other types of flooring, or meets standards. Currently, a common test is to see if it contains formaldehyde.
