Blistering in the floor caused by substrate moisture can result in huge cost and sanitation implications, as it could not only lead to operational down time and expenditure on unexpected repairs, but it can also make an area vulnerable to bacterial growth.
The heightened contamination risks that stem from floor failures can be a major concern for many workplace environments, especially in the food & beverage and healthcare industries.
These difficulties can be minimized by carefully analyzing the site’s substrate and making sure that the floor preparation, build up and materials are tailored to avoid moisture related blistering.
