Project: High Durability Easy Clean Floor Coating
Client: San Francisco Jazz Center
Location: San Francisco, CA
Size: 5000 square feet
Date: 2012 – Present
Description: The San Francisco Jazz Center was spending 10 hours a day, totaling $7,500 a month, cleaning the floors every day of the facility. Additionally, every quarter the facility had to be stripped and waxed, costing about $530. Total month costs averaged out to $7632.50.
System: Quick Seal & Enhance with T2 MCM Top Coat
Value Delivered: After coating, cleaning time dropped from 10 hours a day to 2 hours a day. The need for stripping and waxing floors is removed entirely. Total maintenance cost dropped from $7,632.50/month to $1,500 per month. At a project cost of $11,178, the ROI was a little less than 2 months. Floors still have not needed to be recoated.
Total Savings vs. Strip and Wax since 2012 = $662,310
The Pearl Apartments were newly built apartments that were about to release their units for leasing. New build move-ins are the most aggressive wear that an apartment will see during its lifetime, as there is a much higher concentration of move-ins all happening at the same time.
Airstream requires a sprayable, thin film, anti-corrosion, easy to clean clear coat for polished aluminum parts. The solution also needed to be able to bond directly to polished aluminum without any substrate profile, and without disturbing the polished look.
The San Antonio Children’s Museum, called the Doseum due to its interactive nature, needed to protect the new polished concrete floors from two primary destructive elements: margarita / red wine drinking donors during fundraising campaigns and creatively destructive children.
