pre-drilled engineered sleepers with 48 durometer 7/16" AIRTHRUST pads attached 12" o.c. anchored to the concrete with drive pins, a layer of plywood with MFMA strip flooring affixed to the top.
B. The general contractor shall provide a level, steel troweled slab to a tolerance of + or - 1/8" in a 10'0" radius and subject to the approval of the wood floor contractor. Moisture barriers must be adequate for conditions. The concrete slab must be depressed 2-1/2" plus the thickness of the flooring specified.

1.02 Quality Assurance
A. All system component parts must be supplied by Action Floor Systems, LLC. of Mercer, WI.
B. The flooring contractor must be approved by Action Floor Systems, LLC. of Mercer, WI.
C. Flooring materials must be allowed to acclimate to building conditions on the jobsite in a dry, well-ventilated area, not in contact with masonry, and shall be installed at a moisture content not to exceed 8% except in areas of constant high humidity where the moisture content of the flooring shall not exceed 10%.

1.03 Working Conditions
A. The wood flooring shall not be installed until all masonry, plastering, tile, marble and terrazzo work is completed, and overhead mechanical trades and painters have finished in wood floor area.

Moderate room temperature of 65 degrees or more shall be maintained a week preceding and throughout the duration of the work. Humidity conditions within the building shall approximate humidity conditions which will prevail when the building is occupied. If prior experience indicates relative humidity during sustained heating periods will fall below the 35% minimum, building engineering shall introduce moisture into the area when required. Conversely, if relative humidity increases to 50% or higher, measures should be taken to bring the relative humidity back under control. This may require turning on the heat.

All implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for intended use are limited to the period of this warranty. This warranty excludes consequential damages.
B. This warranty does not cover damage caused by fire, winds, floods, chemicals or other abuse, or by failure of other contractors to adhere to specifications, or neglect of reasonable precaution to provide adequate ventilation during hot and humid weather. This warranty also excludes damage due to excessive dryness or excessive moisture from humidity, spillage, migration through the slab or wall or any other source. This warranty also excludes damage to floors due to ordinary wear and tear, faulty construction of the building, (other than the flooring installation), separation of the concrete slab underlying the floor, settlement of the walls, or use of water on the floor.
C. During the warranty period, the floor cannot be coated without the permission of the floor contractor.
