Relating to flooring adhesive and sometimes even to latex primers. It is normally associated with water-based products and is a catchall term.
Industry:Construction
Includes all defects or blemishes that are produced in manufacturing, such as chipped grain, torn grain, skips in dressing, hit and miss (a series of surfaced areas with skips between them), variation in machining, machine burn, and mismatching.
Industry:Construction
The separation of the growth ring, primarily at the tips, from the surface of a wood slat, especially on the surface of plainsawn wood.
Industry:Construction
A simple, two-step process that fits laminate strips together faster and easier than other laminates.
Industry:Construction
A surfacing material composed of a solidified mixture of linseed oil, pine rosin, fossil or other resins or rosins, or an equivalent oxidized oleoresinous binder, ground cork, wood flour, mineral fillers, and pigments bonded to a burlap, jute or other suitable backing.

Linoleum "seasoning bloom" (also known as drying room film) is a natural phenomenon caused by the properties of the desiccant oils. These produce a yellow film that forms on the linoleum during the drying process. Any change in the product's appearance because of this film is temporary and disappears when the flooring is exposed to light. The time required for seasoning bloom to disappear ranges from several hours to several weeks depending on the light source's intensity. The light exposure process that eliminates the film will continue even after protective floor polishes are applied, although polish may slow the process. On areas of linoleum not exposed to light, elimination of the yellow film will not occur.

Can be made two ways; may use lightweight aggregate such as shale, clays, pumice, etc. or may add chemicals that foam and produce air spaces in the concrete as it hardens.

The Characteristics of a material which determines the degree or amount of light which will be reflected from its surface from any given angle.

Brightness and quality of light play an important role in the illumination of institutional, commercial and industrial facilities. The light reflectivity ratings of resilient floors are important when taking the complete interior environment into consideration. Since a majority of resilient floors are made of combinations of different colors, these light reflectance figures are average values based on a large area of the pattern. (Light reflectivity values are determined by measuring the percentage of light directed at any surface that is then reflected under standardized test conditions.) The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America recommends that floors have a reflectance factor of 20% to 40% for optimal seeing areas in offices, 30% to 50% for school classrooms, and 20% to 30% for hospital operating rooms. Light reflectance should not be confused with gloss. Gloss can result in reflected glare from highly polished surfaces in the field of view. While gloss level depends primaril
