Abstract: A series of web-based videos are being developed to help keep the housing industry aware of construction techniques that improve quality of construction. The instructional videos identify the most common wood floor system performance issues and recommend construction practices that will minimize problems or prevent them from occurring. Three instructional modules will be developed in the video mini-series. Click here to view the 'Wood Floor Systems in Residential Construction Series' series.
