What does this resinous flooring punch checklist cover?

9 items across 3 sections, covering wear and edges, repair, signoff. 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 on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing floor punch items.

When in the schedule should this walk happen?

During closeout, after traffic and cleaning reveal weak bond and pinholes the initial walk missed.

Why do these items ask for a photo?

6 of the 9 items call for photo evidence, 8 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 punch inspection?

A delaminated patch topcoated over without cutting back to sound, bonded film, so it lifts again at the same edge. Pinholes cosmetically filled on the surface while the outgassing that caused them is never addressed, so they reappear.

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 punch checklist

Resinous flooring punch is where small misses become callbacks after the crew has demobilized. This checklist walks the finished work the way the owner and the next trade will see it, with the photo that closes each item instead of a note that reopens 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.

Wear and edges

Doorways, cart routes and turning points checked for wear-through
High-traffic paths looked over for topcoat worn to the body coat or primer, scuffed broadcast and dull tracks, each area logged.
Cove top edge checked for peel-back along every wall
Cove cap followed around each room for lifting, cracks at inside corners and gaps behind the radius from cleaning or impact.
Filled joints checked for sealant pull-away and debris
Joint sealant in the coated floor looked at for loss of adhesion at the joint edges, torn sealant and packed dirt.

Repair

Each defect located and photographed in context
A close shot of the delamination, pinhole cluster or damaged area plus a wide shot locating it in the room.
Areas cut back, patched and topcoated to blend
Failed film cut back to sound material, patch built to the surrounding thickness and topcoated so the repair blends in color and texture.
Touch-up material labels match the installed system
Kit labels for the patch and topcoat checked against the product and color of the installed system before mixing.
No photo
Earlier pinhole repairs re-walked once the patch has cured
Areas where pinholes were filled viewed again across the light after cure, so any that reopened from outgassing are found before release.
No photo

Signoff

No remaining flooring items before the area is released
All punch items in each room closed with photos and the repairs cured before the floor is turned over.
Repair locations marked on the floor plan for the warranty
Each patched area recorded on the room plan with the date and material used, so the warranty file shows where the floor has been repaired.
No photo

What usually sends this back

The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work

A delaminated patch topcoated over without cutting back to sound, bonded film, so it lifts again at the same edge.
Pinholes cosmetically filled on the surface while the outgassing that caused them is never addressed, so they reappear.
