What does this resinous flooring final checklist cover?

12 items across 4 sections, covering coverage and thickness, cove base and edges, cure and finish, records and handover. Each item spells out what the person walking the job is actually looking for, not just a box to tick.

Who should run this inspection?

The flooring applicator with the GC's superintendent, walking the finished floor before turnover.

When in the schedule should this walk happen?

After the full system is applied and cured, before equipment and traffic return to the area and before the owner's walk.

Why do these items ask for a photo?

9 of the 12 items call for photo evidence, 12 photos in all. A checklist answer without the photo is a claim; the photo is what makes the record worth something in a dispute and lets a reviewer approve work without re-walking the job.

What most often fails a resinous flooring final inspection?

Thickness assumed from the datasheet while the actual material consumed over the area comes up short of the specified build. Integral cove base run thin or with a rounded top edge that peels away from the wall at the termination. Slip-resistant broadcast skipped or under-applied in a wet area so the finished floor is slick where it needs grip.

Can I use this checklist in RTI?

Yes. Start a free RTI workspace, build this list as a checklist, and the Photo Gate holds the submit button until every mandatory item is answered and its photos are attached. Approved inspections roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper evident audit trail.

Resinous flooring final inspection checklist

Resinous flooring final inspection is where the punch list is either short or expensive. This checklist walks the finished work the way an owner or AHJ will see it: devices on, systems running, everything labeled. Each item gets the photo that closes it instead of reopening it. Work is commonly verified against manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

The checklist

Every item, and the photo evidence it needs

The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Work the list here and watch the gate hold, or load it into RTI and let it enforce the real thing.

Coverage and thickness

Thickness verified by material consumption over area
Material used checked against the coated area and the specified build, thin or missed spots on the finish caught and recoated.
Surface free of blisters, pinholes and fisheyes
Finished floor viewed across the light for outgassing pinholes, blisters and fisheyes, none left in the cured surface.
Sheen even with no blush, haze or roller lap lines
Topcoat viewed at a low angle for whitish amine blush, dull patches, puddled resin and lap lines where one mix met the next.

Cove base and edges

Integral cove base continuous and terminated cleanly
Cove run to the specified height with a solid radius at the floor and a clean cap at the top, bonded with no voids behind it.
Terminations at doors and transitions finished flush
System locked into its keyway at every free edge, finished flush with the adjacent floor with no raised lip, feathered edge or chipping.
Drains and floor penetrations tied into the system where present
Coating turned down into drain bodies and sealed around pipes and posts per the system detail, with no gap where water can get under the film.
No photo
Slab joints carried through the system and filled
Joints recut through the cured coating at their original lines and filled with the sealant the system detail names, not coated over.

Cure and finish

System cured to working hardness before use
Cure checked against the system schedule for the ambient conditions before foot or wheel traffic returns, no soft or tacky areas.
Slip-resistant finish present where specified
Broadcast or textured finish uniform in the areas that call for it, grip consistent underfoot with no slick patches.
Full-cure date posted at the entry before heavy or chemical use
A notice at each entry giving the date the system reaches full cure for chemical exposure, rolling loads and wet cleaning, per the product data.

Records and handover

Applicator's daily log with conditions and kits used on file
Daily record of slab and air temperature, humidity, dew point, wet-film readings and kits mixed per area, filed with the closeout documents.
No photo
Care and cleaning instructions for the resin system handed over
The manufacturer's cleaning, recoat and chemical-exposure guidance for this system transmitted to the owner's maintenance staff.
No photo

What usually sends this back

The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work

Thickness assumed from the datasheet while the actual material consumed over the area comes up short of the specified build.
Integral cove base run thin or with a rounded top edge that peels away from the wall at the termination.
Slip-resistant broadcast skipped or under-applied in a wet area so the finished floor is slick where it needs grip.
