You have a specification. You have a warranty. You have a contractor who says the work was done right. On the day the floor fails, none of it will hold.
Reduce the risk of flooring failure.
Owners building new healthcare and education facilities.
By providing flooring commissioning services.
A quality-focused process that independently verifies and documents, from design through turnover, that the flooring installation complies with project specifications and manufacturer requirements.
You required it. You have it in writing. You believe it stands between you and a six-figure floor replacement.
Most warranty claims are denied. Not because the product failed. Because no one can prove how it was installed.
A manufacturer does not have to disprove your claim. You have to prove your case. And the evidence you would need was buried under the floor years ago.
Your GC hits a schedule crunch. Flooring goes in out of spec. The slab was not ready, or the room was not conditioned, or the adhesive was troweled wrong and covered in the same hour.
And you will never know. Until the floor fails.
Nobody hid it from you. Nobody was standing there to see it. Flooring is the only major concealed building system still installed on the honor system, and the honor system is failing.
Failed floors cost owners three billion dollars a year.
Redoing a failed floor costs two to three times the original flooring cost.
The floor can look perfect at turnover and fail long after everyone responsible has been paid.
Confidence that the floor will perform as specified. And proof, if it ever does not.
Not a promise from the person who installed it. Not a warranty you cannot collect on. Proof, gathered while the evidence still exists, held by you.
Most flooring failures are preventable, if they are caught while correction is still possible. The conditions that decide whether a floor holds are measurable, on the day, by someone standing there. They are measurable for a few hours. Then the floor goes down and they are gone.
You specified it. Nobody verified it. That space between the two is where every flooring failure lives, and it is the only gap of its kind left in your building.
Flooring Commissioning by CertiFloor closes the verification gap.
It replaces the honor system with proof, before failure transfers the risk to you.
Confidence the floor was installed the way you specified, verified by someone who does not work for the people who installed it.
A dated, photographed, independent record of how the floor was actually installed. Proof manufacturers cannot dispute.
Claims are denied for want of proof. You will have the proof. Verified installation is also what allows a project to qualify for extended warranty coverage from product manufacturers.
This is the difference between believing your floor is right and knowing it.
CertiFloor is the Flooring Commissioning Authority. Engaged by you, reporting to you, paid only by you.
We hold no contract, no employment, no ownership, and no financial relationship with your flooring contractor, your installer, your general contractor, your testing agency, your distributor, or your product manufacturer. That independence is the only reason the record is worth anything.
We work in new commercial construction, in healthcare and education. More about CertiFloor.
