Flooring Quality Control Inspections

To help ensure that each production run meets your brand’s quality standards, we can inspect your products on-site at the manufacturing facility. You can use our inspection service before, during, or after production to catch issues early and lessen their impact on your schedule. These inspections are customized to your needs and might include checks such as:

• Gloss Level: Using a glossmeter to measure the specular reflection gloss of the product’s surface.
• Product Thickness: Using calipers to ensure product thickness matches specifications.
• Peel-Off Tests: To determine the adhesive strength of the product’s coating.
• Locker Pull Test: To test the strength of the locking system to prevent failure.
• Locker Projection: To verify the dimensions of a locking or grooving system.
• And other tests as appropriate for your company’s needs.

Factory Audits for Flooring Companies

Success in the flooring business and building products industry requires effective supplier selection and management. Conducting a factory audit enables you to assess a potential or existing supplier to ensure they meet your needs as a buyer.

• Capability Audits: to assess the supplier’s ability to meet your production needs.
• Quality Audits: to evaluate the manufacturer’s quality management system.
• Social Compliance Audits: to assess a supplier’s adherence to labor laws and ethical standards.
