Epoxy Floors: Especially relevant for garages and commercial spaces, epoxy flooring must meet specific standards for slip resistance and chemical containment.KiBi Renovations uses high-quality epoxy materials that comply with OBC guidelines, ensuring a safe and resilient surface.

Hardwood and Engineered Hardwood: When installing hardwood or engineered hardwood, the OBC has guidelines on subfloor ventilation and moisture barriers to prevent warping and moisture damage. Our flooring experts are well-versed in these requirements, guaranteeing a stable and long-lasting installation.


 

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.

Health and Safety: Adhering to the OBC's standards helps prevent injuries due to slips or falls and reduces the risk of health issues related to mold and indoor air quality.

Durability: Compliance with the OBC means your flooring will be more resilient and capable of withstanding the demands of daily use without premature wear or damage.
