How to Specify a Repaint for High-Traffic Corridors

MILWAUKEE WI, USA,

High-traffic corridors scuff quickly, so the specification matters as much as the labor. A good spec states prep, product type and protection.

Key Takeaways

  • Specify cleaning and prep steps.
  • Choose a finish that holds up to cleaning.
  • Protect floors and fixtures.
  • Phase work so routes stay open.

Prep

State that surfaces will be cleaned, patched and primed where needed. Glossy or dirty walls hold paint poorly. Prep is where durability starts.

Finish and color

Pick a washable finish and a color that hides scuffs. Darker lower walls or wainscot can help. Ask your painter to confirm the product matches your traffic.

Phasing

Divide corridors into sections and set hours. Plan for signage and barriers. Record each section's completion so it can be inspected.
