How to fill table to establish application true Values:

1 - Fill in Each square with information you have obtained for other alternative products and based on your
experience. If not able to on some, Put 1. Note: Clear anti slip requires Bond
only if applied alone . Refer to Bond calculator and add results to this

2- calculation details:
o Area should be total surface area to be covered. Actual spread rates should be used not theoretical
o For the cost of coatings for alternative products, add the cost of all product types required for the application Including
than primer if recommended, use average and use correct no of coats in the appropriate square as a total.
o If the spread rate is known through experience, then minimum and maximum spread rates should be the same. In our
case a second coat spread rate is always higher than the 1st.
o For EBC Solutions, if an option for one of our other finishing products is required, please down load the appropriate
calculator. If wash series is required as a first coat, just add a 1 to No of coats.
o For EBC Solutions wash series application, it is generaaly 1 coat followed by another finishing coat type. eg anti slip.
Please down load the respectivefinishing coat calculator and add to the values calculated here

3- Establish the time to apply alternative products on initial application.

o Generally 2 of our coatings are equivalent to 3 of others. Some have additional products for added hardness to equal
ours
o DIY rates are used in our estimates.
o Insert Commercial and trade values based on experience. Our coatings are easier flowing and thinner and cover
better.
o Our installation times are better or at worst equal

4- Evaluate maintenance and recoating costs. This section is generally dictated by your own previous experience and
the product warranty issued.Ensure fading and chaliking are part of the warranty as it is critical in establishing recoating
frequency and localised repair.
EBC Solutions:
o Can locally repair because coatings do not fade, chalk or yellow. Recoating needs only cleaning and one coat without
primer
Alternatives:
o localised repair may not be possible because they fade, yellow or chalk. (review warranty conditions for these
specific items)
o Recoating may involve more than one coat.
o More than cleaning is generally required.
o Review preparation requirements and consider difficulty and cost in preparing existing surface (sanding, removal, etc
5- Recoating over 30 years: Fill recoating section based on your experience and with your labour rates.
o The No of times previous coatings have to be removed to recoat.
o Costs and Number of removals depend on the product being used
o Our values are as they should be. clarify with our staff if uncertain
o Use your own labour rates.
o If you are uncertain, please write or call with your specific clarification request

How to fill table to establish application true Values: Cont'd

6- Recoating costs break up used in the calculations
o Recoating cost is assumed as % of initial installation. This should be between 50% to 100% and depends on No of
coats required to be applied. This may be exceeded if special requirements are specified
o Ensure that the labour costs for removal of existing coating is the same as the alternative per removal as a
maximum. call or write for clarification

 How to fill table to establish application true Values:
1 - Fill in Each square with information you have obtained for other alternative products and based on your
experience. If not able to on some, Put 1.
Note: Clear anti slip requires Bond only if applied alone . Refer to Bond calculator and add results to this

2- calculation details:
o Area should be total surface area to be covered. Actual spread rates should be used not theoretical
o For the cost of coatings for alternative products, add the cost of all product types required for the application
Including than primer if recommended, use average and use correct no of coats in the appropriate square as a total.
o If the spread rate is known through experience, then minimum and maximum spread rates should be the same. In
our case a second coat spread rate is always higher than the 1st.
o For EBC Solutions, if an option for one of our other finishing products is required, please down load the appropriate
calculator. If wash series is required as a first coat, just add a 1 to No of coats.
o For EBC Solutions wash series application, it is generaaly 1 coat followed by another finishing coat type. eg anti slip.
Please down load the respectivefinishing coat calculator and add to the values calculated here

3- Establish the time to apply alternative products on initial application.

o Generally 2 of our coatings are equivalent to 3 of others. Some have additional products for added hardness to
equal ours
o DIY rates are used in our estimates.
o Insert Commercial and trade values based on experience. Our coatings are easier flowing and thinner and cover
better.
o Our installation times are better or at worst equal

4- Evaluate maintenance and recoating costs. This section is generally dictated by your own previous experience
and the product warranty issued.Ensure fading and chaliking are part of the warranty as it is critical in establishing
recoating frequency and localised repair.
EBC Solutions:
o Can locally repair because coatings do not fade, chalk or yellow. Recoating needs only cleaning and one coat
without primer
Alternatives:
o localised repair may not be possible because they fade, yellow or chalk. (review warranty conditions for these
specific items)
o Recoating may involve more than one coat.
o More than cleaning is generally required.
o Review preparation requirements and consider difficulty and cost in preparing existing surface (sanding, removal,
etc

5- Recoating over 30 years: Fill recoating section based on your experience and with your labour rates.
o The No of times previous coatings have to be removed to recoat.
o Costs and Number of removals depend on the product being used
o Our values are as they should be. clarify with our staff if uncertain
o Use your own labour rates.
o If you are uncertain, please write or call with your specific clarification request
 How to fill table to establish application true Values: Cont'd
6- Recoating costs break up used in the calculations
o Recoating cost is assumed as % of initial installation. This should be between 50% to 100% and depends on No of
coats required to be applied. This may be exceeded if special requirements are specified
o Ensure that the labour costs for removal of existing coating is the same as the alternative per removal as a
maximum. call or write for clarification
o Our costs of recoating is never higher than other products.

7- General Considerations -
o Where special or laborious preparation is required by others include price separately. We have alternative coating
to avoid items such as Grinding. Speak to us or send enquiry by email.
Intangible cells
o Identify impacts relating to your time loss and discomfort in DIY,
o In Commercial applications it becomes tangible. This includes return to site, long waiting
times between coats, time to reuse space, etc
o Add to your costs separately

Guide to Queries and things to look for:

No of coats required : ask if the following are also required:

o Primer coat,
o intermediate coats for the required finish(some can be up to 4), Use actual spread rates not theoretical.
o additional coats for external application or hardening. o
Special preparations for new or existing products. (diamond grinding, in between coats sanding,]
For recoating: Look for warranty conditions to
include Chalking, yellowing, fading (these can occur in as little as 2 years or less) :
o In years how often is it recommended to recoat.
o How many recoats before you need to remove existing coating due to thickness and strength of coating.
o How many top coats for reapplications.
o Can you do localised repairs in future and up to how many years.

About the results:

These Results are close estimates to provide better undedrstanding of true cost associated with any paint application
than Price per Litre and once off application cost. This provides the means to put value and simplicity to paint
selections.

Final results: Square meter rates are based on first capital expenditure of the application. The whole of life costing
show savings that are essential considerations together with finishing qualities,

Positive results means true savings using our products. These are divided into current Capital expenditure and whole
