Turf/rubber flooring over SOG
Turf/rubber flooring over SOG
(OP)
This question is in regards to one of the projects that we worked on a earlier this year. It's a large multi-purpose room (70'x100') with metal deck on long span steel joists, precast walls over shallow foundations. Location: Chicago area. SOG: 5" on 10 mil vapor retarder over 6" compacted fill. The slab was poured in April.
The owner is now considering putting a turf type of cover over the floor.
My question: The floor is regular 3000 psi normal weight conc. Is one year enough for the floor to dry out enough to place an un-breathable topping?

But, one of the points they made was that while it may not have mattered in the past, now it's more crucial. That is because the EPA now mandates water-based adhesives for attaching floor coverings.
If any of that is true you may want to discuss this issue with the floor membrane manufacturer. Other than that I would think that a year's worth of curing would give the slab plenty of opportunity to evacuate its moisture.
