One question. If you have a concrete floor, Why are they providing a
raised floor?
The rails are usually set in the concrete with VCT or Sheet flooring
added for esthetics and easy cleaning.

My organization is constructing a new museum with a new collection
storage
area. The storage area will have mobile storage units on rails. However,
the flooring will be a concrete slab with a raised floor made of plywood
and a Vinyl floor covering. I'm concerned about these flooring
materials.
The designer told me that the plywood is set aside for 90 days to let it
off gas. Is this common? Does this solve the off-gasing problem? Does
anyone know about Vinyl floor coverings? Do they off-gas?
I appreciate any comments. I don't want to have these materials
installed
if they are going to cause damage to the collection.
