Designing floor systems with engineered wood products requires attention to three sets of considerations: 1. Requirements of the applicable model building code with regard to “safety” factors. 2. Practical considerations including product availability, ease and speed of installation, and design flexibility. 3. “Comfort” factors that may have impact on the physical and psychological well-being of those who will occupy or visit a building.
