This firehouse floor coating installation in a Ready Room was complete in 48 hours giving the firehouse a non-skid floor surface and the firefighters peace of mind for sure footing during fire alarms.
But, before the floor coating application could begin, the old VCT tile had to be removed first. The mastic glue left behind was ground down with a grinder. Cracks and spalls in the floor were repaired as well.
Because of the nature of fire alarms occuring without warning, the volunteer firemen need to be assured that the floor surface is anti-slip as they run to and from to get ready to load the fire trucks.
