Questions from Dallas
Can you do this without taking our Dallas room offline?
Usually, by working the space in sections around the equipment. The constraint is cure time, not application time: 24 hours before anyone walks on it at 70 F and 50 percent relative humidity[7]. Tell us how the hall is zoned and we will build the sequence backwards from your uptime requirement.
How soon can you get to Dallas?
Tell us the timing you are working against and we will give you a real date rather than a placeholder. Crews work Dallas County alongside the rest of the Texas schedule. Send the details.
Can you look at our Dallas floor before we commit to anything?
Yes, and for an existing floor that is the sensible first step. Measuring what you already have against your requirement often costs a fraction of replacing it, and plenty of floors pass. What pushes a floor out of range.
