WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO BEGIN?

The process is quite simple. There are a number of steps that we like to follow that will make your experience with us and getting your high performance flooring installed with the least amount of effort.

Floor plan of your location, preferably a CAD file type. This would normally be a .dwg file extension.
Approved layout drawing from Redline Athletics Franchising.
Pictures of the location, showing floor surfaces with adequate lighting.
Location.
Timeline for installation.
Current condition of the substrate. Is there floor covering on the floor now that will need to be demoed?
If demo work is needed, what is the floor covering type? Do you know how long it has been down on the floor?
If no floor covering is on the substrate now, what condition is the concrete in? Relatively smooth, does it have chips and joints with wide gaps, etc?
Are there extreme or abrupt elevation changes that will require additional floor prep or special transitions?

WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS AFTER WE BEGIN?

The next steps are rather fluid, and they move along quite well. The one thing that usually slows our process down after we begin the initial process is either financing timelines with the franchisee, or simply permitting and construction prior to floor install.
Next Steps:

We will provide a revised floor plan that our architects produce from your approved franchise drawing and CAD file provided by you. This will give complete dimensions, materials used and square footage of each. Once this is approved by both you and Redline Athletics Franchising, we will move to the next step of quoting.
After approval of our floor plan drawings, we will move to create a quote based on total square foot, any overages for fit and trim, floor prep, installation, freight, game line painting and any other finish work.
Finish work may consist of additional line painting, graphics, logos and special transitions.
After your quote is provided and you have either approved it or we have made material revisions to it for final approval, we would then discuss an installation date.
After you have approved the quote and we have a tentative installation date range, you would be responsible for making an 80% deposit. This deposit is required to order your flooring materials and secure an installation date range.
Once your materials are ordered, we will receive an estimated dispatch date for your materials. We will provide this to you for planning.
When your materials are delivered, you will be responsible for receiving them. You should plan to have labor available to help manage the load and position it inside your location out of the way.
It is important in most cases to allow the materials to acclimate for 48 hours. This acclimation should be in a room temperature of 72 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit. It will be necessary to have your HVAC working at this time to control both the temperature and humidity.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL MY FLOORING?

Installation times can vary, depending on several factors. These factors are size of location, number of different surfaces being installed, floor preparation needed, and game lines required to be painted. Of course, there is always the potential of other trades having an issue or emergency fix that causes a work stoppage or slow down with the flooring installation.
Typically, the projects that range from 9,000 sq/ft to 12,000 sq/ft will take from 6 to 8 days at the most.

DO I GET ALL OF OUR FLOORING FROM AMERICAN PLATFORMS?

Yes, all flooring materials and installation for Redline Athletics Franchising is provided by American Platforms & Flooring. We are national providers for the largest performance floor manufacturer in the U.S.
Your Redline Athletics Franchise Guide has specs to address each area of your facility. If you have an area or room that could require other than spec product, we have other floor covering materials available through the approved manufacturer of Ecore Athletic.
If this is the case, and you wish to add something other than what is spec in your Franchise Guide, it will require an authorization or variance waiver by Redline Athletics Franchising. We can help assist you with this process.

FLOORING MATERIALS DELIVERY, WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

The flooring materials should be a rather simple process. The freight carrier is provided with your direct contact number and name to contact you and schedule delivery. Normally, a freight company will provide you with a window of time, such as 4 hours for delivery so you can be better prepared.

You will either have a dock, that the truck can back up to and roll the load off with a pallet jack directly into your facility; or, they will have a lift gate to lower your load to the ground and roll the load in with a pallet jack. The freight company is responsible for offloading the load, and typically placing it in a location of your choice within reason. Much of the time, it depends on the driver and their idea of customer service. With a pallet jack, if they have additional support (your labor), it will go really quick and you will have your flooring materials in under cover within 30 minutes.

Please note, American Platforms & Flooring is not responsible for receiving and handling of your flooring materials. We do not have labor in all markets to cover material receiving.

LOCATION CONDITION AND CLEANING

The condition and cleaning of your space is important for flooring installation and minimizing additional costs.
The space should be free from debris, other trades tools and materials, excess paint and drywall mud on floor surfaces and all equipment.

The flooring installation is one of the last items to be handled within the process of your new venture. That said, it is also one that many other trades are known to leave a mess and debris for clean up. Our installers are skilled workers and not clean up crews for other trades. Using our crew for labor types of work like cleaning will become very expensive and that is something we wish avoid. It would be best to direct your General Contractor to have general labor to clean the facility, removing all debris, excess drywall mud, overspray and any other materials that might require labor.

This will also ensure a speedy installation process by eliminating additional clean up time when the installation team arrives.
Below you will see an image of one location where our installation team arrived to find almost a days work of clean up.

HOW ARE LOGOS APPLIED OR ATTACHED?

Many customers self-install our logos since they are so easy to install. Logos that are not oversize and that are produced in one-piece, are relatively easy. You will be provided with instructions and an installation video to speed up the installation process. We are also available for phone consultation to help guide you when needed. Lastly, if you feel uncomfortable self-installing your new logos, we can help locate a qualified professional to install them. For multi-part logos, we do recommend a professional installer be used.

COMMERCIAL
FLOORING

Commercial flooring installations are different. It takes experience to manage the multiple challenges that one faces with commercial flooring installations. Experience that will keep your project on track.

There are more scheduling challenges with commercial flooring installations, other trades, material delivery date that move, and project parameters change as well. This requires more coordination with other contractors and subcontractors. Additional decision makers or stakeholders raise challenges as well. You want a company that has been there, done that, and we have.
