Coatings for Industry (CFI) has launched an interactive coatings selection tool dubbed Coatingstown.
The company says the tool will help facility owners, specifiers and contractors to identify the right resinous flooring system for any job.
The Coatingstown selection tool can also be found in CFI’s 2021 Floor Coatings Brochure. The 16-page catalog promotes all WearCOAT Products and Systems. It includes product and system descriptions, and a comprehensive table where users can match coating systems to their job.
“Coating specification isn’t always easy, and there are many variables that can affect the success of a floor coating job,” says Lou Frank, Director of Business Development for CFI. “The new Coatingstown interactive graphic online and accompanying brochure are powerful new tools to help designers and contractors get their jobs going.”

Rather than the image being ‘flat’, the customer can orientate the ‘virtual’ panel to see how the light reflects and the colour looks from different angles. Read More
