der Unterboden darf nicht nachwippen
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
I haven't been able to find a suitable translation for 'nachwippen' as a verb so any help would be greatly appreciated. This is from the terms and conditions of a company that provides flooring for trade fair stands.
Sentence:
Vor allem beim Verlegen auf Haftgitter, wobei eine flächige Fixierung stattfindet, darf der Unterboden nicht nachwippen, da sich dadurch das Haftgitter lösen und die eigentliche Klebekraft verlieren kann.

buckle
Dictionary definition of 'buckle':
to bend, warp, or give way
Though meaning of 'buckle' doesn't explicitly include the idea of 'wippen', it would lead to that, and still make sense in the context, I guess.

: buckle has a completely different meaning - it's one-time/permanent. Wippen is dynamic/reversible. I think it is exactly the "idea" that we have to get right. In this context it would mean "floor must not break" (obvious enough) Spec says: No flexing

sub floor should not be bouncy
Example from link below:
"Floor should not be "bouncy", should not squeak excessively, or should not be cold."

Kalyani Gadre

: 'bouncy' doesn't sound very technical. Maybe something like 'does not leave space/room/scope for bounce' would suit the register better?

It doesn't. That's because nobody would express this in a more technical manner in English. I am happy to change my mind but at this point I haven't seen anything that would sway me..
