Available as a mobile app and desktop software, Floorcloud’s jobsite monitoring technology is designed to work over a cellular network. This capability allows contractors, big and small, the option to view data related to a specific jobsite prior to flooring installation, or it can be utilized to monitor a space after the job has been completed to ensure that proper relative humidity and temperature are being maintained.  

How It Works

Sensors are placed on the wall at a jobsite just like a thermostat. These sensors have a QR code on them that can be scanned and linked to the software. At that point, the contractor has the ability to monitor the jobsite conditions from anywhere a cellular signal is available.  

The contractor then goes into the app and selects all of the products utilized in the project from a list of manufacturers that is preset into the database—the primer, patch, self-leveling underlayment, adhesive and the flooring. The onsite conditions are then compared every hour to the specifications that the manufacturers have set for the chosen products. If conditions exceed the specs determined by the products, a push notification is sent to the contractor’s phone, alerting them of the temperature, relative humidity and/or dewpoint change.

Floorcloud recently partnered with the National Wood Flooring Association to offer hardwood acclimation monitoring. The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) calculator will help flooring installers and contractors determine if the hardwood flooring is acclimated for that specific jobsite at that exact time. This technology requires the use of a Tramex or Wagner meter. The EMC calculator makes use of pre-programmed moisture levels set for each region. After selecting the region, the software will indicate whether or not the moisture readings are within spec for that particular region.

Onsite conditions and EMC readings can be shared instantly with any member of the team via the app or desktop software.
