Earlier this year the Board approved the application of a no slip coating on the corridor tiles to address a significant health and safety issue. The Board engaged in a review of various coatings and weighed the costs and application methods as well as the resulting modification to the surface.
The result of this deliberation and selection process is that the corridors will be coated with a clear epoxy product with an aggregate added to increase the traction in the corridors. The Contractor was selected and the schedule will be to apply the coating to one floor per day, September 18-21, 2017. The process of each floor will be to strip the temporary grip tape and remove the adhesive residue, clean the tile and apply the coating. The cure time on this product is 24 hours and that will require that no one walk on the tile during this time.
EACH CORRIDOR, ON ITS SCHEDULED DAY, WILL BE CLOSED TO ALL FOOT TRAFFIC FROM 8 AM TO 12 PM THE FOLLOWING DAY AND ACCESS TO THAT FLOOR WILL BE BY STAIRWELL ONLY (ACCESS TO THE OTHER FLOORS BY ELEVATOR WILL BE AVAILABLE).
The coating schedule is:
Monday, September 18 – 4th Floor
Tuesday, September 19 – 3rd Floor
Wednesday, September 20 – 2nd Floor
Thursday, September 21 – 1st Floor
If you have any questions regarding this process or any other concern, please do not hesitate to call the Management Office.
