A hot summer, a poor concrete pour, and a building with no electricity. This could have added up to the makings of a failed mission, but with an experienced crew and adaptable materials, the new epoxy floor at a naval base didn’t go awry.

When executives with the global H&M group saw rough and aged concrete at two of its shops in cosmopolitan Hong Kong, they realized they needed help updating the facilities to better convey the brand’s colorful and youthful image.

The uses of epoxy are as wide and various as an understanding of its chemical properties. It is often used in the commercial and industrial sectors, but an often overlooked area of growth is the residential sector.

Nearly 40 years of operation and exposure to food contaminants took quite a toll on the kitchen’s original floor. The owner wanted a new floor, rebuilt with marine-grade plywood and protected with waterproofing coatings but with downtime kept to a minimum.

Before visitors could buy tickets to the new display, though, the Patterson-Stevens crew needed to deal with unexpected moisture in the concrete slab. Polar bears may prefer rivers but coatings contractors surely do not!

When the new property manager, Stoneleigh Companies, took over operations and rebranded the facility, the desire was for every aspect of the complex to mesh with the luxurious theme and look appealing to potential tenants drawn to the sporting area.

It would take a coatings crew that was just as confident to take the nearly bare concrete and turn it into a beefy urethane floor with all the fixins.

The group wanted to renovate the building for modern use while still retaining a feel of “vintage industrialism” as a nod to Detroit’s history.

The facility is currently home for two Australian Football League (AFL) teams — Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide — and it also hosts concerts and marquee games of cricket, rugby, and soccer.

MadTree Brewing Co. made history upon opening in 2013 by becoming the first modern craft brewery to can its beer in Ohio.

Our procedure under these conditions is to pin the garage above the threshold to minimize contaminate blow-in on a calm day. We then tidied up and departed the site, leaving instructions with the owner to keep vehicles off the floor for three days

At the Ameren Missouri coal-power plant, the areas that are used to convey coal into furnaces, called tripper rooms, were fraught by a cloud covering. The facility owners at this plant needed to do something about it.

For the owner of specialty cars in Western Pennsylvania, who wishes to remain unnamed, a barn is used to house his collection — one that perhaps even Jay Leno would be proud of.

When the Chicago White Sox needed help in a pinch, the team at regional coatings contractor Armored Floors stepped up to the plate and proved to be quite a hit!
