Architects and specifiers rely on KS Coatings for independent, experience-backed consulting on resinous flooring and wall systems — from preliminary design through CSI Sections 09 67 23 and 09 96 59.
Schedule a Free 30-Minute CallNo sales pitch. Just straight answers from people who know resinous coatings.
We work directly with architects at any stage of a project — from early schematic questions to final spec language. Our consults are informal, practical, and free.
Share your draft spec and we'll flag anything that could create a problem on the job — surface prep requirements, application conditions, moisture testing, or warranty gaps. We know how resinous systems actually perform, not just what the data sheets say.
Reviewing drawings early catches conflicts before they become RFIs. We advise on substrate compatibility, transitions, floor-to-wall conditions, drain details, and system selection for the specific use case — whether it's a shower, mechanical room, food service area, or correctional cell block.
Not every resinous system is right for every substrate or environment. We help you understand the differences between epoxy, polyurethane, MMA, and hybrid systems — and match the product to the performance requirement, not the other way around.
Dealing with a failing or delaminating system on a previous project? We can walk through what likely went wrong and how to spec the remediation correctly to avoid repeating the issue.
Have a question that doesn't fit a category? Book a 30-minute call and bring whatever you're working through. We've answered questions on substrate prep, LEED documentation, coating over CMU, waterproofing membranes, and more.
Need help writing or tightening Section 09 65 56 language? We can provide performance-based specification language that gives contractors clear requirements without unnecessarily restricting competition — or sole-source language when the project demands it.
Our background is deep in institutional and correctional work, but the fundamentals of resinous systems apply across many building types. If you're specifying a wet or heavy-use floor or wall system, we can help.
Simple, low-friction, no commitment required.
Pick a 30-minute slot that works for you. No form to fill out beyond your name, email, and a brief note on what you're working on.
If you have drawings, a draft spec, or photos, share them ahead of time. We'll review before the call so we're not starting cold.
We get on a call and work through your questions. Practical, direct, no sales pressure. Just two people with decades of experience in resinous coatings.
You'll leave the call with clear direction — whether that's spec language, product guidance, or just confidence that your approach is sound.
Kurt built his career in resinous coatings working directly with contractors, facility managers, and specifiers across the Midwest. His expertise is in institutional and correctional environments — demanding, high-abuse settings where system selection and proper spec language matter most. He's seen what works, what fails, and why.
Noah combines deep product knowledge with a forward-looking approach to how the coatings industry operates. Alongside spec and architect support, he brings AI and technology tools to the table — helping design teams access better information faster, and positioning resinous coatings for how architects and owners will work in the next decade.
