We worked really hard on this project and our leveling, cement topping slab, and diamond polished concrete all came out wonderfully.
Thanks and we hope to see you at WOC in Vegas this February! Here is the project overview:
“Our topping and polishing crew truly rocks! Lets layout the project: an 1,800 SF open floor plan residence for a discerning industrial designer with a subterranean workshop/nerd lair full of laser cutters and 3D printers. Thing is, the guy wants natural light down there and a polished concrete floor up top. Fast forward and we are pouring 2 inches of TRU Levelflor into wood decking that has radiant heat tubing sandwiched between two layers of spiderlath. Did I mention that the whole front of the house is fitted with accordion glass that can be opened and the floor is fitted with QTY 7, 4 SF skylights that are located to catch the brilliant California afternoon sun and beam it down to his workshop? We then bead blasted the leveling lift, applied primer and sand, and poured a 3/8” TRU topping with custom agg/integral color blend. The crews really pushed them selves to get the pour to the exact correct elevations, and massaged any undulations with hand grinding equipment once it was hard. We then ran the floor up to 1500 Grit with 3 of our Husky 820s, and left the owner with a mind blowingly unique floor he can brag to his buddies about for years to come.
I should mention that during the difficult days, particularly the pours, our crews were extremely focused on the task at hand. They worked and communicated with calm demeanors in the midst of two hippo mixers pushing 5 bags of product every 2 minutes. They solved problems like leaks, uneven stainless steel forms, and leveling issues days in advance. They practiced and re-practiced their timing leading up to the first batch being mixed. Our crew understands when things have to go right, and they approach those situations with serious professionalism. They drive us to make these floors better. One of them told me “when someone sees this floor, I want them to think of me. I want everyone to know I made this floor. And that no one else can make it this good.” That’s when I knew I had a crew that rocks!”
