The U.S. Navy Problem: Slippery entryways
AmCoat Industrial was engaged by a Florida-based naval installation to assess a high-traffic entryway where existing carpet tiles were rapidly degrading. The installation's location experiences frequent precipitation, leading to concerns over the safety of workers and visitors due to the potential for slippery surfaces and wear from moisture.
Solution
After evaluating the site and considering the base's requirements for enhanced safety, durability, and efficiency, AmCoat recommended its Floor Shield polyaspartic coating system. The key factors in the decision included the coating's ANSI wet and dry anti-slip rating, ensuring a safer surface in wet conditions, and its quick return to service, minimizing downtime in this busy area. Additionally, the product’s proven long-term durability meant reduced maintenance and better longevity compared to the previous flooring solution.
Outcome
AmCoat Industrial promptly completed the project, meeting the naval installation's safety and timeline requirements. The base expressed high satisfaction with the results, particularly the seamless installation process and enhanced safety of the entryway.
