The second floor had thin 1” gypcrete floors but also had roll-in tile showers.  We had to slope the floor properly and use the correct products to gain enough fall for the water to go down the drain. The large number of different types of finishes was very difficult to keep track of on site.  We had a very limited time frame to install all of the resident unit flooring and tile.  The type and position of the drains posed quite a challenge to be able to drain properly and appear aesthetically pleasing.

 

Judging Panel

A panel of architects and designers lent their talent and expertise to this year’s panel: Charlotte Blue, Assoc. IIDA – Interior Designer/Studio Leader, LS3P; Paul Lewandowski, AIA, IIDA, LEED – Principal, Scott Simons Architects; and James O’Neill – Founding Principal, Inventure Design.

Honorary Judges for the Environmental Achievement and Unique Installation Challenge Awards were Robert Peoples, Ph.D., executive director of Carpet American Recovery Effort (CARE) and Robert Varden, vice president of Certified Flooring Installers, respectively.
