I believe the EPA regulation applied to installers disturbing more than 6 SF of flooring coated surfaces-in case there is lead in the coating.

"Paint the first coat on this room tonight, and strip out old carpet, then paint second coat." 

Went to Menards to get buckets of coating and decided to do it myself as the parking lot is actually not in need of any removal of the existing pavement.

And the allure itself is relatively thin, while most of the stair nosing I have seen is much thicker.

Maybe a fresh coat of paint in heavily trafficked areas.

May take a couple of coats but it works wonders.

For reference, the LVP bid was about $6.15 / sqft installed.For $6.15sqft I can get the best HW floor co to do the best full sanding, best re-stain, best 3 coat poly with diamond coat which is basically gorilla glass for floors including warrantied against pet claws.

I had a tenant who made small remarks about the unit, such as a few paint specks on the floor from the fresh coat we had applied.

Powder coated steel will rust.

In one chase, we made it into a coat closet since the house did not have one.
