NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
Hello,
Could someone please confirm whether Epoxy Flooring systems would fall under the Paints and Coatings Category under Floor Coating OR would it fall under the Flooring category? The reference guide does not specifically mention Epoxy Flooring under the Flooring Category.
Thank you in advance!

It falls under both. If you're going after both categories, list it in both.

This may be an acceptable answer if you are pursuing both categories, though v4 seems to be very clear about not putting items into more than one category anymore. However, most of our current projects are not pursuing the wet applied categories and are only going for flooring and composite wood. So if you are only pursuing the flooring category, is any fluid applied product actually flooring?

I spoke with someone at CAGBC about this and received a response that I was to include it under paints and coatings as it was a floor 'coating' not an actual flooring product. The concrete was the floor, the epoxy was the coating.
