This checklist has been complied to address most common problems encountered during the
installation of the Protect-All flooring in a commercial kitchen application. The most important
item is #6. It is vital that all drains be installed properly and that the concrete substrate is
smooth and properly sloped to drains. This is the responsibility of the customer project
manager or the construction company company.

Please review this list carefully and if you have any question, please call (919) 852-5279.
