Planning and Preparing

PART 1

Planning & Preparing for Your Flooring Project

With the exception of budget (more on that later) perhaps the most important aspect in preparing for an industrial flooring installation project is developing a plan to minimize disruptions to daily operations during the installation process. It will be necessary to close down areas of your facility to foot and equipment traffic to allow the floor to be prepared and conditioned as well as for coverings to be applied and to cure.

Planning Around Production Schedules

In order to minimize disruptions to your operation, ask your flooring contractor to conduct work during nights, weekends, and other times when your facility will be either empty or operating with a skeleton crew. While preparing, it will still be beneficial to decide the most efficient order in which to close sections of a building during the installation process.
