Whether you choose our water-based gym finish 1907®, or our other low VOC products such as Tip-Off or Contender finishes, to our industry leading solvent-based Gold Medalist, Trophy, and 450 / 350 Gym Finishes, you can be assured of the highest quality and most durable finishes for your wood sports floor projects. Hillyard’s Basecoat II allows you to achieve the properties of an oil-modified urethane in a water dispersed form for VOC restricted areas to use as a seal or bridge coat under our solvent-based coatings. Hillyard wood gymnasium finishes include a unique water-based epoxy finish called Contender; a quick drying water-based seal/finish called Tip-Off, to our newest addition of our single component water dispersed oil-modified urethane called 1907. Our solvent-based oil-modified finishes include our Gold Medalist, along with our lower VOC 450 Gym Finish and for more restricted areas, our 350 Gym Finish. Rounding out our wood finish systems is our solvent-based epoxy Trophy Gym Finish. The primary difference between the water-based and solvent-based systems is in the number of seal and finish coats applied for the completed system. The Contender system (water-based) utilizes two coats of Star as the seal, followed by painting and either an additional coat of Star followed by a single coat of Contender Finish, or two coats of Contender Finish directly over the sealed and painted floor. The Tip-Off system (water-based) is designed around four coats of product, either 2 coats of Basecoat II or 2 coats of Tip-Off, followed by painting and then 2 additional coats of Tip-Off as the finish. Our 1907 coating system is designed around 2 applications of Basecoat II as the seal, followed by painting and then 2 coats of 1907. Our solvent-based coating systems of Gold Medalist and the Trophy system follow the industry standard process of 2 coats of their respective seals, followed by painting and then 2 coats of finish. A new system for VOC restricted areas involves the use of our Basecoat II as the seal, followed by game line markings, and either an additional coat of Basecoat II followed by the VOC compliant solvent urethane or 2 coats of the VOC complaint urethane finish. An additional option for VOC restricted areas in the Northeast region involves the use of a 4-coat application process with our 350 Seal and 350 Gym Finish. This system involves using 2 coats of 350 Seal followed by painting and then 2 coats of 350 Gym Finish. Preparing New Wood Gym Floors Important To prevent future trouble of warping, buckling, and dry rot, it is important that arrangements for adequate circulation of air under the floor be provided during construction. Allow at least three (3) inches for expansion and contraction on the sides of the floor and do not tie the floor to the wall. Refer to MFMA (Maple Flooring Manufacturer’s Association) for proper acclimation of your floor system. Preparation After sanding, brush sweep and vacuum the floor until the surface and cracks are free of sanding dust. Next, tack the floor with a turkish towel dampened with Hillyard Kleen-Up Solvent. Tack the floor several times until it is absolutely clean. It’s also a good idea to dust around the stage, pipes, window ledges, bleachers, and any other areas where dust can collect to be sure that no dust will fall into the seal or finish once they are applied. After the final tacking, allow the floor to sit at least 30 minutes before applying the first coat of seal. Floor temperature affects drying time. If the floor is cold, allow a longer period of time before the first coat is applied.
