The Challenge
Every industrial flooring project presents unique operational requirements. This warehouse needed a flooring system capable of handling demanding traffic while improving safety and reducing maintenance.
Aging Original Slab
The century-old concrete slab required careful restoration to remove damage and wear while preserving its historic character.
Balancing Old & New
The finish needed to feel authentic to the building's history while meeting the durability and appearance standards of a modern commercial space.
Sustainable Reuse
Rather than replacing the slab, the goal was to salvage and restore the original concrete for a more sustainable outcome.
