D&D State Contract Renewal- Ohio
D&D's Ohio state term contract was recently renewed for Floor Care - Semi-Permanent Coating.
Introducing the breakthrough, battle-tested coating that's changing floor maintenance.
Flooring represents only 1-2% of construction costs but 35-50% of ongoing maintenance costs. Most facilities spend an inordinate amount of time keeping floors looking just-waxed - an endless cycle of stripping, waxing and buffing with all its associated costs. This is especially frustrating in schools where funds are so limited.
The D&D System delivers a long-term high gloss finish with no need for ongoing stripping, waxing or burnishing. D&D has applied over 1.5 million square feet of the coating for repeat customers who have finally left wax behind based on the long-term strength of this coating.
To maintain a high gloss finish, all you have to do is dust mop and wet mop your floors. You can either get rid of your buffing machines or continue to use them as auto-scrubbers, using a white or champagne colored pad (on a minimum 1700 rpm machine).
The coating is non-immersible, non-flammable, zero-VOC, chemical and stain resistant and fully re-coatable and repairable. It also meets ADA compliance for slip resistance.
Your savings will be immediate and significant: reduced maintenance labor and fewer expensive chemicals to purchase. Less time on floor care will free more time for other custodial obligations. Use our online calculator to determine your own facility's potential savings compared to the old ways of wax.
The coating will also help your chair problem.
Schools and other facilities all over the country have been searching forever to find a solution to one of their most vexing floor problems - scooting chairs that ruin floors. Wax is completely ineffective and tennis balls are, well, better for playing tennis.
On every job, D&D first coats the floors, which significantly strengthens floor durability. Then, as an extra measure of prevention, D&D also installs chair glides on your most abrasive chairs - those with metal or nylon caps. Our coating's superior durability together with custom glides minimize scratched floors without forcing you to buy new chairs.
The D&D system has rekindled pride of ownership for facility managers all over the country.
Our coating system has been used in facilities all over the country, on surfaces ranging from VCT and terrazzo to concrete, rubber, wood and ceramic. Listen to a facility manager talk about our technology and you'll hear genuine passion for a product that's been able to greatly improve the look of their facilities and eliminate maintenance hassles at the same time.
Our coating also has a number of important environmental benefits.
The coating meets LEED requirements set forth in section 01350, the most popular US standard for evaluating and restricting VOC indoor air emissions in schools, offices and new construction. It has also been deemed a "Super Compliant VOC Paint" by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the air pollution control agency for all of Orange County and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the smoggiest region of the U.S.
Finally, the coating is approved by the EPA for asbestos encapsulation. Far less expensive and disruptive than removal, asbestos encapsulation is a key method of abatement recommended by the EPA and OSHA. Download our MSDS sheets for more information.
D&D provides ongoing Continuous Care Service like nothing else in the industry.
Every D&D applicator is certified to apply the coating, a nontrivial training program that teaches applicators a process far different than ordinary wax application. Our applicators are then able to back every job with Continuous Care Service in which we return to your site every few months to ensure the coating is performing as promised. During those checkups, we'll also add free chair glides to any new chairs you may have acquired in the interim. Every four to seven years, D&D recommends a light recoating of the product. In doing so, you reactivate the Continuous Care Service.
