Operations define the system
Document pedestrian, cart, vehicle, impact, chemical, temperature, and washdown conditions before selecting a coating build.
Downtime must be specific
Separate preparation, installation, cure, restricted access, and full-service return. Phasing may be more valuable than the fastest chemistry.
Documentation supports comparison
Commercial proposals should identify products, thickness, preparation profile, repairs, termination details, testing, and warranty.
The material label is not the complete proposal.
Compare surface preparation, repairs, actual product names, layer sequence, coverage, texture, cure schedule, exclusions, and warranty. A low square-foot figure without those details is difficult to evaluate.
