This Technical Specification provides recommendations for the installation of laminate floor coverings.
Generally laminate floor coverings are installed as floating floors but in some applications they can be
integrally glued to the subfloor. This Technical Specification only details suitable methods for floating floor installation and advises on the selection of the materials required for their implementation.
The guidelines in this Technical Specification are intended for use in cases where manufacturer's instructions, taking account of the national code of practice in the country where the installation is to be made, are not available. References to the national codes that are currently available are listed in the bibliography of the various parts of this Technical Specification.
This part 3 of the Technical Specification is intended for use in conjunction with part 1 that deals with general matters relevant to textile and resilient floor coverings as well as to laminate floor coverings.
All parts of the Technical Specification are intended to supplement, and not conflict with, National Standards.
