Get Floor Covering Installed over Holiday Downtime

Get Floor Covering Installed over Holiday Downtime

Why are the holidays ideal for PBS to come in and work?

The holidays are a great time for you to have the PBS team come to your facility for painting and coating.

With fewer workers on site during the holidays, there is less interruption from our team so your team won’t lose as many or any production hours.
If your facility is completely shut down during holidays, we can make sure something is accomplished.

We are incredibly flexible for whatever time you need us in. If your operations run 24/7, but you have slower production shifts, we can complete our work around your schedules.

If you have a very busy schedule and need floor covering on a tight schedule we can accommodate.

Services Provided During Holiday Downtime

Epoxy Floor Coatings

It typically takes just one or two days for a professional epoxy floor coating. The time it takes for us to complete an epoxy floor coating during the holidays is going to depend on factors such as:

Prep time for filling in holes in the floor.
The size of the project or how many square feet of coating.
Your facilities schedule and any possible interruptions, which we can mitigate.

Typically, epoxy resin is cured within 24-72 hours.

Safety Lines

We recommend at least 72 hours for safety line paint to dry before subjecting it to any heavy traffic. Light foot traffic within 24 hours is okay, but if you are going to have heavy foot traffic or anything will come into contact with it like tires, we recommend waiting at least 72 hours.

This is why the holidays are a great time to get your safety lines painted.

Degreasing and Painting Equipment

One of the best ways to remove tire marks and other scuff marks on your floor is degreasing. The holiday season is a great time to have your floors degreased so your employees can come back to a clean and clear floor.

Ceiling-High Dusting & Painting

Typically ceiling high dusting and painting services can be done overnight. We’ll often need to bring in a lift to accomplish this, but it will depend on the size of the building. With a lift, there’s a lot more to consider about managing the project.

What We Need From You

In order to get a floor covering installed over holiday downtime, we’ll first need to have you plan out your project, which includes picking out your flooring. You’ll then work with our team to schedule your service.

We’ll need access to your facility. You can choose to have someone from your company there, but we worked with other companies in the past that have allowed us access and we’ve done our work without anyone on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best time of year to paint floors?

The best time of year depends on the type of floor, the condition of the floor, and what the floor is being used for. The holidays can be a great time for manufacturing facilities to have their floors painted because there is typically less foot traffic on the plant floor.

How long does it take for epoxy floors to cure?

Generally, epoxy resin will dry within 72 hours. Because it takes several days and can affect your ability to use the floor, holiday shutdowns are a great time to have your floor epoxied.

How do you prepare for a concrete floor to be epoxied?

We’ll need to clean the concrete floor to get rid of any dust or dirt.

What should I do during an industrial shut down?

If your facility is shut down it is a great time to consider having your floor maintenanced and painted. Since no one will be on your facility floor, no production will be interrupted by a painting and coating service.

When you work in a garage or auto body shop, you know what messes they make. The worst of them involve oils and other fluids, which can create not just an eyesore, but a potentially dangerous environment. Therefore, what your garage needs is an epoxy flooring system.

The primary needs of a garage epoxy floor include the capability to clean easily and to resist stains. Progressive Painting and Coatings specializes in installing chemical resistant coatings that protect your floors from fuel or oil spills, making containment and cleaning easy.

Once our technicians assess your facility, we will recommend a product that will meet the needs of your auto shop. For instance, how much traffic do you normally see, and what temperatures will your garage typically experience. These and other factors will affect the epoxy flooring right for you.

We promise that your new flooring system will be installed quickly and efficiently, working professionally with the best possible equipment, so your business does not experience any delays or unnecessarily long shutdowns.

If your garage or auto body shop desperately needs a flooring upgrade, consider a new epoxy flooring system from Progressive Painting and Coatings. Contact us today, or call us at 616-241-1096 for a quote. Big or small, we can help with your next painting or floor coating project.

Protecting Servers, Electronics and Other Equipment with Anti-Static Flooring

Protecting Servers, Electronics and Other Equipment with Anti-Static Flooring

In the digital age, protecting your electronics and information is more important than ever. This is especially true for business, which requires specific safety protocols that will keep sensitive equipment safe from electrostatic discharge. So stop that damage before it happens with an ESD flooring system.

ESD flooring and anti-static floor coatings are necessary to protect your workers and your business. In industries where electronic components or volatile chemicals are involved, static electricity buildup can cause significant damage, injury, and financial loss.

This is why Progressive Painting and Coatings will install the right floor system that will meet the protection requirements needed in a static-sensitive environment. Not all ESD coatings are the same, so our technicians will assess your facility to ensure that the new floor that is installed will handle all the conditions that can be experienced in the field.

An ESD floor works well in testing laboratories, electronics manufacturers, data processing areas, pharmaceutical plants, and airplane hangers. We also find these coatings to outperform flooring alternatives like tile and are easy to clean and maintain.

Once installation is over, our job is not done yet. Progressive Painting and Coatings offers ESD testing at the conclusion of our floor evaluation, and we provide periodic testing to ensure the floor is meeting conductivity requirements.

The versatile application can be installed over concrete, vinyl tile, or other existing polymers. Plus, this anti-static coating will maintain electrical conductivity throughout its entire thickness.

Keep you employees and equipment safe with a fresh installation of an ESD flooring system from Progressive Painting and Coatings. Contact us today, or call us at 616-241-1096 for a quote. Big or small, we can help with your next painting or floor coating project.

Epoxy Flooring in an Office can Elevate the Space

Alec Overbeek — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 19:12:25 +0000

Offices are often known for having a bland nature with old carpets and minimal creative decor. But an office space that feels like a good environment for employees, can actually increase employee loyalty and satisfaction. This means it is important to create an office space that makes your employees feel productive and creative. Epoxy flooring in an office can help transform the space.

One thing employees often complain about is that the office space feels too dark and gloomy. Epoxy floors can have a high gloss finish that can increase the brightness in a building significantly. Increasing the brightness in the office can create an environment that feels more bright and open to employees and customers.

Epoxy flooring in a office also makes floors more durable which can give them a long lifespan. Epoxy can stretch your floor’s lifespan to up to 20 years. Adding longevity to your floors is a quality investment that pays for itself when your concrete is protected. Not only will it be protected but it can also become an art piece too!

To spruce up the space and add creativity to the room choose from an array of decorative floor options including:

Broadcasted floors

Floor Logos

Chip (Vinyl Chip)

Quartz

Decorative Sand

Patterns

Flooring Designs (ideal for designated areas within your facility)

Employees of Progressive Painting and Coatings are well-versed in applying systems that add decorative floor coatings to your concrete surface. These types of floor systems not only look great but add durability and longevity to your surface. Decorative floor systems work very well in retail venues, corporate offices, plant aisle ways, etc.

Our staff is committed to giving your floors the “WOW” factor, which can lead to impressed customers, increased sales, and higher employee morale. Click here to get a quote from us today!

Make Your Epoxy Floors Shine

Alec Overbeek — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 15:46:15 +0000

Remove stains as soon as possible

No matter what environment epoxy floors are in, things almost always get spilled on them. As we all know, it’s part of human nature to spill. When people are working there are often liquid components they work with and that makes it likely for spilling to occur. No matter if its engine oil, food, a beverage, or printer ink that’s spilled. The sooner the mess is cleaned up the less likely it is to stain the epoxy floors. The good news is that cleaning up epoxy floors is super easy, even when battling a tough stain. Use a neutral PH cleaner to prevent a build up of film while cleaning, this should prevent and remove stains. By taking care of stains quickly your epoxy floors shine will last for years to come! Please consult our Progressive Painting and Coating professionals before attempting to clean up certain chemicals, to prevent a dangerous situation.

Take action to prevent damage

Irregardless if your facility is a manufacturing facility, warehouse, or factory your floor may benefit from added protection from the harsh environment. For example if your facility welds, or carries heavy loads, your floors may benefit from placing a welding mat beneath a welding area or beneath heavy loads. This can prevent dents or other damage occurring on your floors.

Another way to prevent damage is to sweep daily with a soft bristle broom. This will help prevent a build up of grit and dirt on the floors that may scratch and shorten the lifespan of the floors. If you use an auto scrubber to clean your floors make sure to get a proper brush or pad to prevent damage to your coating. It is also crucial to keep sharp objects away from the floor and avoid dragging objects across the floor that may puncture it. Taking time to prevent damage to the floors will lengthen their lifespan.

Schedule routine cleanings

Maintaining epoxy floors that look brand new and have a long lifespan involves regular cleaning. Fortunately epoxy floors are incredibly durable and easy to clean. Along with daily sweeping epoxy floors should be mopped at least weekly depending on the level of traffic on the floors. It is best practice to mop floors with a microfiber mop or a mechanized floor scrubber with soft bristles. Make sure to focus a lot of attention on high traffic areas to ensure your epoxy floors shine like new!

Make it shine

One of the best parts of epoxy floors is their shine because it adds so much brightness to the room! By removing stains as soon as possible, taking action to prevent damage, having a routine cleaning schedule, and avoiding harsh cleaners like soap and citrus cleaners, your epoxy floors should have a beautiful shine and a long lifespan. On occasion after months of wear and tear that shine may begin to fade even with regular cleanings. Then it is the time to call in a team of professional epoxy floor cleaners that can bring life back to your floors!

Feel free to contact our professionals at Progressive Painting and Coatings for a free tour and recommendations for your flooring.

Epoxy Flooring in Food Manufacturing Facilities

Alec Overbeek — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 14:44:11 +0000

Food safety is a serious matter that needs to be prioritized to prevent the spread of food borne illness. It is important to prevent the spread of these illnesses as they can lead to hospitalization which increase healthcare costs, and in some cases they can even lead to death in younger children and older adults. To give consumers confidence in the food they purchase and eat, it is food manufacturers utmost responsibility to distribute healthy uncontaminated food products. One way to combat that is to install epoxy flooring in food manufacturing facilities.

Epoxy flooring in food manufacturing facilitates is especially important because without clean floors there are opportunities for bacteria and disease to grow in the facility. Antimicrobial floor coatings are ideal in a Food Manufacturing environment since the antimicrobial technology in the floor kills bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, yeast, and algae. This technology works for the entire lifespan of the floor and creates an overall healthier and cleaner environment to work in because it prohibits the growth of unhealthy bacteria. This type of flooring bonds to concrete which prevents mold or bacteria growth underneath its surface. Since the flooring is a smooth, non porous surface that does not have grout lines there are no cracks and crevices available for bacteria to grow. Not only that but Progressive Paintings and Coatings provides other services to create a cleaner work environment.

As a premier commercial coating company, Progressive Painting and Coatings offers a wide variety of flooring and painting applications perfect for any manufacturing environment.

USDA/FDA-approved flooring systems
High ceiling dusting/painting
Degreasing/painting equipment
Protect the floor from extreme chemical/temperature exposure

It is Progressive Painting and Coatings mission to provide our customers with the highest of quality sanitary conditions in the food manufacturing industry. Contact us for an Antimicrobial Epoxy Flooring Quote today!

Antimicrobial Epoxy Flooring in Healthcare Facilities

Alec Overbeek — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 20:15:42 +0000

Healthcare facilities have a constant flow of different people in and out of the building, many of which are sick with contagious diseases like the flu or COVID-19. To prevent the spread of disease from person to person, doctors and nurses take serious precautions to be as sanitary as possible to protect themselves and their patients. For example they use gloves, masks and hand sanitizer to reduce the risk of spreading illness from themselves and others. This is especially important as many patients in hospitals have weakened immune systems. While preventing the spread of disease from person to person contact is important, even more precautions should be taken to prevent the spread of disease through contacting contaminated surfaces. Start by keeping your floors clean with antimicrobial epoxy flooring.
