Fall Maintenance 101: Prepare Your Floor for the Seasonal Shift.
Seasonal maintenance and timely repairs are essential to extending the life of your floor and exterior surfaces.

✔ Slippery surfaces
✔ Stains

Expecting more foot traffic this season? Let's ensure your floor can handle it.
Holidays will be here before we know it. If you are in charge of a retail space, shipping warehouse or any other facility with seasonal traffic increases, let's make sure you are ready. Here's a quick checklist to help you:
✔ Schedule a comprehensive floor inspection to identify any issues affecting your facility's floor safety and accessibility. Make any needed repairs as soon as possible.
✔ Remember to maintain your exterior surfaces! Your parking lots and sidewalks have been exposed to record-breaking temperatures this summer, combined with storms and traffic. Your pavement may need repairs, resurfacing or refreshed demarcation.
✔ Address the signs of early damage, including spalling, spills, moisture and uneven joints.
✔ Create a floor maintenance schedule to accommodate the traffic increase.
✔ Train your team and stock up on industrial-grade DIY flooring products to be ready for anything.
