Normal floor placing and finishing practices leave some variations in the finished surface in the form of small bump and dip waves. The location, length, and amplitude of these waves are determined in part by the construction methods and equipment used.
Proper methods of setting and measuring concrete floor construction tolerances are important to owners, vehicle manufacturers, and designers, as well as to floor contractors. When these groups have a realistic understanding of floor tolerances, they can specify flatness in the most cost-effective way.
