Team,
KY Epoxy Floor Specialists will be visiting sites to complete epoxy flooring in the office and equipment room areas.
Project Order
If your location already has epoxy in the lobby, the crew will focus on completing the equipment room first.
If your location needs both the office and equipment room done, they will always complete the equipment room first, and then return to complete the office area.
Prep Bay Schedule
Day 1
The crew will come onsite to paint the yellow lines in the prep bay only.
The yellow lines must dry for the entire day before epoxy can be applied.
Day 2
The crew will return to fill in between the yellow lines with epoxy.
Operations While Yellow Lines Dry
The wash will be open and operating prior to the crew arriving to paint the yellow lines.
We can continue washing cars while the yellow lines are drying.
However, ONLY management should enter the prep bay area and only when absolutely necessary to reduce the risk of stepping in wet paint.
Epoxy Dry Time
Once the epoxy is installed:
The site will be shut down for 24 hours to allow the epoxy to cure.
After 24 hours, the epoxy can be walked on.
However, no heavy equipment or items with weight should be moved back onto the epoxy until after the full 24-hour cure time.
Removing Equipment & Items
If your location is having both the equipment room and office completed, your District Manager will rent a box truck to temporarily house all heavy or loose items removed from the office and equipment room areas during the project.
Temporary POS Setup
While the office epoxy is curing, the POS system will need to temporarily run out of the equipment room.
Managers will need to:
Build a small shelf next to the POS area to temporarily place the router and modem.
Run an ethernet cable from the router to the equipment room.
Connect the POS inside the equipment room so the wash can operate while the office epoxy dries.
Important Scheduling Note
In most cases, the crew cannot epoxy the equipment room and office on the same day.
Because the equipment room is always completed first, you will be able to enter the equipment room epoxy areas 24 hours before the office area.
This is the reason we run the POS from the equipment room temporarily, so the site does not have to remain shut down for an additional full day.
For example:
If the equipment room epoxy is completed on Day 2, the site will remain closed until mid-day the following day, depending on when the crew finished the previous day so we can ensure the full 24-hour cure time is met.
