What is BS EN 17539 about?
BS EN 17539 specifies test methods for the determination of geometrical characteristics of modular mechanical locked floor covering panels in respect of thickness, length, width, squareness, straightness, width flatness, length flatness, openings between assembled elements and height differences between assembled elements.
BS EN 17539 specifies geometrical characteristics of modular mechanical locked panels are important considerations because installed flooring will have an objectionable appearance if these performance criteria are not followed.
Who is BS EN 17539 for?
BS EN 17539 on geometrical characteristics for MMF is applicable to:
- Mechanically locked floor cover manufacturers
- Installers of floor cover lock
- Architects
- Interior decorators
- Civil engineers
Why should you use BS EN 17539?
Flooring makeover is often considered a tedious task is given the amount of time and effort that it takes.
BS EN 17539 provides test methods to check the thickness, length and width, squareness, straightness and flatness of the floor covering. If these not followed by you while installing the panels it will cause the panels to line up unevenly, producing unsightly seams, uneven surfaces and corners that do not match.
