Ocean View, Nanaimo. Project work and photographs: Performance Spray Insulation.
A real project, useful questions
The supplied notes identify Ocean View at 388 Machleary Street in Nanaimo and the Molnar Group. Performance Spray Insulation supplied interior photographs and an application video whose container label identifies IFTI DC315. For an owner planning similar work, the record helps turn a request to spray the ceiling into a discussion about the actual surfaces, building services and sequence.
Tell us what the coating must do
DC315 is an intumescent coating used in specified spray polyurethane foam thermal- and ignition-barrier systems. The product is different from Monoglass glass-fibre insulation. Bring the intended foam and coating specification to the conversation rather than choosing an application from a photograph. The responsible project team should establish the required system and documentation; these images do not certify a completed fire-rated assembly.
Give access as much attention as the area
An overhead area can be straightforward on a drawing and difficult to reach on site. Share the height, working space, service routes, openings and the equipment route. Identify what needs masking or protection, who clears the space and which other trades must finish first. Include any occupied areas and working-hour restrictions so the scope reflects the building’s actual use.
Agree on the boundaries before comparing prices
A comparable proposal should distinguish preparation, access, protection, coating application and follow-up repairs. Ask who reviews product compatibility and any specification changes. Identify the records expected at completion. If adjacent trades return after spraying, agree how damage will be reported and how additional repair work will be assessed.
Make the first enquiry specific
Send the project location, intended assembly, approximate area, access photographs and preferred schedule. Include any drawings or product information you already have. Performance Spray Insulation is credited for this supplied Nanaimo work record; confirm availability and the accepted scope directly before booking. A useful first conversation narrows the unknowns without promising a material, thickness or outcome before review.
Watch the supplied work sequence
The accompanying video shows the DC315 container and overhead application. Use it as a record of the visible work, alongside the photographs and project notes. The product label establishes what is shown on site; the final system’s application and acceptance still require the relevant records.
