Standard EN Sample
Code of practice for installation of flooring of wood and wood-based panels
Also Known As:
What is this standard about?
BS 8201 gives recommendations and guidance on the material, environment and installation variables that combined have a fundamental effect on the performance and serviceability of finished wood flooring.
Who is this standard for?
- Manufacturers of finished wood flooring
- Installers of finished wood flooring
- Product designers/architects
- Housing developers
- Housing associations/local authorities
Why should you use this standard?
This revised code of practice has been modified to reflect more appropriately the growing popularity of wood and wood-based panels installed as finished flooring and, of necessity, as underlayment for finished wood flooring (but not for subsequent installation of carpet or resilient flooring).
It outlines the most up-to-date specifications involved in laying flooring and illustrates typical constructions on which it might be laid. The words “timber” and “wood” in this British Standard cover softwoods, hardwoods and wood-based panels, as appropriate in the context.
What’s changed since the last update?
- BS 8201 has been fully revised by experts to bring it up to date with technological developments and industry best practice
- New materials and products are included in a new section 2
- Consideration is increasingly being given to the specification of wood and wood products with regard to legality and sustainability of source
