The Importance of OBC Compliance in Flooring.

 

Compliance with the OBC ensures that your flooring installation is not only beautiful but also safe, sustainable, and built to last. It protects your investment by ensuring that all materials and installation methods contribute to the health and safety of your home’s occupants.
