Industry expert Tom Murphy will present the three-webinar series on concrete floor coatings and treatments. |
Due to the influence of the concrete substrate on the floor finish, testing of the substrate and specifying appropriate surface preparation standards and guidelines will be considered. System installation procedures and details will also be discussed.

The webinars will be presented by Tom Murphy, a floor-coating industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience. He works with the Society of Protective Coatings (SSPC) to provide third-party training and certification for installation of seamless floor coatings. He also chairs and participates on several committees associated with the building guides and standards for concrete coatings, concrete repair, and surface preparation.
