Abstract
Discusses some aspects of composite construction and composite materials in the flooring industry, in particular relation to failures in the construction of hard public access flooring. Outlines the background to the increase in investigations into problems in two types of floor, namely: hard public access floors in malls and transport buildings, and raised platform floors in offices. Details the main points to emerge from investigation into complaints of defective flooring, concentrating on ill‐considered integration of engineering and architectural design skills in relation to new and existing structures and finishes and the problem of using new methods and materials without considering how they differ from those that went before. Suggests that the industry is taking considerable risks with clients′ money during its learning process.
