Relative humidity in-situ probe test carried out as per ASTM F2170 is the only method of testing acceptable to Stella Floorcoverings. Stella Floorcoverings Carpet Tiles should only be laid on subfloors which do not suffer from rising damp or hydrostatic pressure, and where the moisture level does not exceed that of the levelling compounds and adhesives that are being used when tested in accordance with ASTM F2170

Our Sales Team and After Sales Department can provide advice on the suitability, performance and application of any of the Stella Floorcoverings products. If you have any concerns regarding the suitability of your selected product please contact Stella floorcoverings. Colour selection is also critical to the longevity of the installation, light colours will always show more dirt and stains than darker patterned tiles. Particular attention must be paid to the type and density of traffic (both pedestrian and wheeled), any special acoustical, electrical resistance or slip resistance requirements, as well as reaction to chemicals and staining agents, and physical properties such as resistance to point and rolling loads. Consideration at the initial specification stage must be given to the occupational usage of the building and the building type. Not only must the floorcovering meet the designerвЂ™s initial colour and design, but the performance criteria of the product must be sustainable for the anticipated life of the product, allowing for foreseeable actions such as general wear and tear and regular maintenance. Selection of the most suitable floorcovering is of utmost importance. Carpet Tiles are incredibly versatile materials, which comes with a long list of benefits such performance-to-cost ratio, life cycle maintenance costs, Greentag certification, product stewardship, low VOCвЂ™s, fire resistance, dimensional stability and that it can be recycled. Open lines of communication between all parties concerned will eradicate any problems and will ensure a successful installation, which meets the design requirements within the allotted time scale. A successful installation not only depends on the skills of the floor layer, but also in the planning and management of the project prior and during installation. Selecting a flooring contractor solely on price can lead to a poor installation and a discontented consumer. Stella Floorcoverings always recommends the use of reputable flooring contractors, whose experience in installation and project management will prove invaluable at all stages of a project.
