The same square footage can mean very different downtime depending on the system required and how the facility can be phased. Here's a realistic, industry-by-industry expectation, based on what we actually schedule — not a generic "a few days" estimate.
Typically phased aisle by aisle or zone by zone, allowing the majority of operations to continue throughout. A single phased section is commonly workable within a 2–4 day window including cure time, with the full facility completed over several phases rather than one continuous closure.
Most kitchen floor projects are scheduled overnight or over a short, planned closure — commonly a multi-day window depending on square footage — timed around service hours and communicated as a firm reopening date during the estimate.
Often installed overnight or over a scheduled 2–4 day closure, frequently phased section by section so part of the store can remain open, particularly for larger footprints.
Typically phased — showroom first, then service bays in sections, or the reverse — specifically so the dealership is never fully closed at once.
Phased zone by zone, usually overnight or during scheduled closure windows, coordinated closely with facility administration and infection control given the patient-facing nature of the space.
Phased by cell, bay, or production line wherever possible, frequently scheduled around planned maintenance shutdowns or off-shift hours; fast-cure MMA systems are common here specifically to minimize the downtime window.
