Patent CA-2516276-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NIESE MICHAEL W
IPC: E04F15/00
Filed: 2005-08-18
Abstract: A method for preventing edge bonding between adjacently situated floorboards of a floor system involves the application of a release agent along at least one longitudinal side surface of the floorboards. The release agent counteracts, or neutralizes, the adhesive effects between adjacently situated floorboards which is commonly caused by urethane or water bourne finish coatings, when the finish coating seeps downwardly between the side surfaces of the floorboards. By eliminating surface bonding between adjacently situated floorboards, this invention eliminates panelization of the floor system. The release agent may be a liquid or a solid and may be applied by any one of a number of methods, either at the factory or at the job site. The release agent may be applied to both longitudinal side surfaces of the floorboards, and also to the ends and the bottoms of the floorboards.
