Best practices for specifying resinous flooring systems

October 19, 2021

There are two flooring chemistries that have both existed in the United States for more than 15 years but are rarely specified relative to their epoxy counterparts. Urethane cements and methyl methacrylate (MMA) have already been established as viable resinous flooring solutions for a variety of challenges. Urethane cements are one of the best solutions for resisting thermal shock from steam, grease, and other hot contaminants, while MMA can accept a fresh topcoat at any future time without requiring any mechanical preparation.

Resilient flooring: The sustainable specification

October 12, 2021

When specifying flooring, one should consider both sustainability and performance. They are not mutually exclusive, but rather completely integrated. Both are affected by the material science that goes into the product: How are they constructed? Where do the materials come from that make these products?

Preservation and adaptive reuse: Strict adherence to standards reaps rewards

October 8, 2021

These projects preserve what’s best about historic properties, but develop them in a way that is modern and usable, and infuse new life into historic buildings.

Restoring and maintaining archaic concrete floor systems

October 1, 2021

As a part of the living history of construction, archaic floor systems exist in many buildings despite having been supplanted by modern construction methods. As a building manager or design professional, it is important to be aware these systems are in use today, and to recognize one in place before attempting repairs, alterations, or construction to avoid inadvertently damaging the integrity of a structure.

Achieving green building goals with architectural metal coating systems

October 1, 2021

For commercial building projects seeking next-level sustainability, architects and specifiers now have the option of choosing coil or extrusion coatings formulated without the use of LBC Red List chemicals. With reduced harsh materials, these high-performance, durable, architectural coating systems support LEED v4.1 and LBC Red List compliance when applied to metal building products made with common metal substrates.

Acoustic ceilings to support occupants’ health

September 1, 2021

With a greater understanding of indoor environmental quality, acoustic ceiling material choices, and relevant product certifications, specifiers can have a positive impact on buildings’ indoor air quality, lighting, safety, acoustic comfort, and on people’s health and well-being.
