{"product_id":"floor-coater-heavyweight-18-6018","title":"Floor Coater, Heavyweight 18\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn 18 inch professional floor coater with a convenient hand grip that accepts standard threaded extension poles. T-bar floor coaters are the industry standard for applying floor coatings, laying down waterborne and solvent finishes with even, consistent coverage across large areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy choose this over a Bigfoot™\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the same coating performance without a handle attached. The Bigfoot™ ships with a fixed one piece 60 inch steel handle, which is ideal if you want one tool that is always ready. This model takes the pole you choose, which is the better buy if you already own poles, if you want to change working length between a tight room and an open floor, or if you need the head to pack down for transport between jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow it lays the finish\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cushioned squeegee action floats a measured film rather than dragging finish across the surface, which is what produces a smooth coat free of streaks and bubbles instead of one that has to be corrected on the next pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHeavyweight applies a thinner mil thickness\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighted to control coating thickness, and the naming is counterintuitive. This \u003cstrong\u003eheavyweight\u003c\/strong\u003e model presses the pad harder and lays down a \u003cstrong\u003ethinner\u003c\/strong\u003e film; the lightweight version applies a thicker one. On a large floor this control is often the point: a thin, even build coat across a warehouse span is harder to achieve than a thick one, and easier to get wrong. Eighteen inches is the most versatile width in the line and the usual first choice: quick enough down a run, controllable enough for a residential room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem number: 6018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 18 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrip: Hand grip, accepts standard threaded extension pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefills: Nylfoam®, Woven, or NanoFlock™ (18 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePole: Sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TruCoat \/ Northern Applicators","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45623060922575,"sku":"6018","price":40.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/6276\/5775\/files\/trucoat-floor-coater_c32a2830-3f1c-49d3-a8e4-61a9c44e0d86.jpg?v=1785289385","url":"https:\/\/northernapplicators.com\/products\/floor-coater-heavyweight-18-6018","provider":"Northern Applicators Corp.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
