09 65 00 Resilient Flooring: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Resilient flooring specs conflict with substrate flatness and moisture emission requirements shown in structural drawings and concrete specs.
Most Resilient Flooring contradictions trace to the same root: the specification and the drawings are produced by different people at different stages, and never fully reconciled before the set goes out. By the time the conflict is found in the field, it is an RFI, a delay, or a change order.
Lintel cross-references section 09 65 00 against your full drawing set, schedules, and the rest of the project manual, flagging every disagreement with a citation to the exact page so it is resolved in review.
Common contradiction types
Substrate flatness vs. concrete spec tolerance
A frequent resilient flooring conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Moisture emission vs. concrete mix
A frequent resilient flooring conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Adhesive spec vs. substrate condition
A frequent resilient flooring conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Frequent RFIs
- Floor flatness tolerance conflict between flooring and concrete spec
- Moisture emission limit not achievable with specified concrete mix
- Adhesive not rated for moisture condition
