Dalton— Substrate moisture issues continue to plague the industry and there is not enough solid information in one place to help flooring contractors, manufacturers, architects, designers, construction managers, facilities managers and commercial property owners, understand the intricacies and ramifications of moisture on floor covering failures, concerns and complaints. Tens of Millions of dollars are lost each year on floor covering failures as a result of substrate moisture conditions.

To address this issue LGM & Associates is presenting the first and only seminar of its kind - The Concrete Moisture and Sub-Surfaces Seminar being held on October 29, 30 and 31 in Dalton, Georgia.

The program will include moisture testing and investigation of concrete and other substrate and subfloors as well as the influences of the earth beneath the concrete and the above grade placement of concrete. Also to be covered is moisture testing equipment and methods, proper use of meters, ASTM F1869 Vapor Emission Testing, ASTM F710 ph testing procedures and ASTM F2170 and F2420 Relative Humidity testing and what the test results mean and their interpretation.

Additionally, there will also be lessons dealing with adhesives, polymeric and polyvinyl chloride compounds and their affects relative to substrate conditions, installation and product issues and the analysis of on site substrate conditions as they relate to effects on vinyl backed carpet products and plasticizer issues.
