Description
Bosen Flooring is a PVC and stone composite floor covering for use as internal flooring where occasional intermittent wetting may occur. The flooring is available as two options - SPC and ABA.
Bosen Flooring has a rigid core and is connected together using a tongue and groove joint system.
Scope
1. Bosen Flooring has been appraised for use as a water-resistant floor finish for internal areas of buildings, within the following scope:
- on floor substrates of concrete, flooring grade particleboard, plywood, fibre cement compressed sheet and fibre cement sheet tile underlay; and,
- where floors are designed and constructed such that deflections do not exceed 1/360th of the span.
2. The use of Bosen Flooring on concrete slabs where a hydrostatic or vapour pressure is present is outside the scope of this Appraisal.
3. Movement and control joints in the substrate must be carried through to the flooring finish. The design and construction of the movement and control joints is specific to the building and therefore is the responsibility of the building designer and building contractor and is outside the scope of this Appraisal.
