Commercial Flooring Report: Vol. 85, № 1 (CRI–104 Standard for Installation of Commercial Carpet Update)
Volume: 85 | Issue: 1 | Download
All floorcovering materials have guidelines for installation mandated by the manufacturer of that specific material.
There are also floor covering industry standards that are general in nature but specific as to the standard and common practices for installation of that flooring whether hard or soft surface products.
The new Carpet and Rug Institute Standard for Installation of Commercial Carpet — CRI 104 — has just been published and released (September 2015).
CRI 104 (and 105 for residential carpet) is an update for the installation of textile floor covering material that takes into consideration the latest technology in textile flooring materials and what is required to install them properly.
CRI-104 can be thought of as an umbrella document for the installation of carpet and repeatedly refers to the manufacturer's guidelines for more specific information on installation of a particular product.

Northwestern University recently restored its Charles Deering Library which still powerfully evokes the character of a traditional collegiate building. The project involved restoring the 1,800-square-foot west entrance and creating a new way for students to access the building. School officials enlisted the expertise of a highly trained team of professionals, including an architectural team from HBRA Architects in Chicago, IL, who led the overall design process. The exterior walls are constructed of Wisconsin Lannon Stone. Photo by Mark Ballogg. Story begins on page 10.
