Commercial Case Study

Fallsburg High School – Hallway Floor

PROJECT: CertaPro Painters was awarded the project to install durable new flooring in a series of concrete hallways at Fallsburg High School in Fallsburg, NY. After consultation with the school superintendent, Citadel Floor Finishing System (CFFS) with 1/4-inch color flakes in Saddle Tan was the selected solution, along with the installation of 4” SpeedCove molding.

PROCESS: Step 1 – Diamond Grinding to remove all layers of existing flooring, adhesives, and contaminates.
Step 2 – Ultra HydroStop H2O Primer application. This is a two-component water-based solution with moisture blocking and pH-resistant technology. This primer has excellent adhesion to moisture-laden concrete slabs.
Step 3 – Installation of SpeedCove precast cove base molding system, to create a consistent, uniform, and durable cove base.
Step 4 – ColorFlakes full chip broadcast. This step provides both visual appearance and texture to the flooring installation.
Step 5 – RG80X application. This is the Polyaspartic polyurea topcoat.
Step 6 – Polyurea HD-1 optically clear high gloss finish application. This adds additional durability to the floor installation

PRODUCTS USED: Citadel Polyurea Floor Finishing System, SpeedCove Molding.

RESULTS: The project was produced within an expedited timeline to meet the goal of completion during Easter break. Production management and quality control oversite included a combination of on-site visits and video conference calls. Several overnight deliveries assisted with material supply chain challenges.
