A Polished Pairing

When Niagara based Red Stone Winery wanted to find the perfect flooring finish for their new hospitality centre and restaurant they looked to pair polish concrete with their exquisite design.

Working with DeAngelis Construction,Team Protec helped to capture the vision Red Stone was looking for right, down to the floor finish.

Like a Red Stone wine, polish concrete can help create the right mood for your next renovation or project. However with so many strain, aggregate. and sheen options choosing polish is just the first sip. Protec Solutions is happy to take you through what polish concrete can do for your design palate. 

Pro Scraping

When taking in any beautiful display of art, it is common to hear things like:

"Great use of colour." or "Such brazen lines."

Almost never will you hear

"Wow, that must have been the perfect canvas."  

Although the canvas doesn't call the attention the final project does, it is indisputable that a final product owes much of it's beauty to foundation. Construction renovations often call for a previously finished floor to be stripped bare and made to look new again. If you've ever taken chisel and hammer to vinyl tile you know this task is much more complicated than simply peeling a floor. 

Protec Solutions offer PRO scraping services. Using an army of specialized equipment as well as staff highly trained in demolition, Protec can quickly remove old ceramic, carpet, vinyl and VCT tile. The PRO advantage of using Protec for flooring removal is the combination of our PRO grinding services with PRO scraping. One call to have flooring and mastic removed by one team at one price. This means less downtime on your renovation leading to a quick, smooth project wrap and more productivity for your company. 

Using PRO scraping means the most perfect canvas ensuring attention goes where it should to your finished project. 

The real price of Polish Concrete

Thinking about specifying polished concrete on your next project?  Or maybe you've already specified Terrazzo or...dare I say...carpet, it may be time to take a second look at that spec. Cleanliness issues aside ( read about how friendly polish is to the janitor and your sines here) polish concrete can also save big dollars on your project.  A quality polish concrete system such as Retroplate has the lowest life cycle per square foot cost of any floor covering or coating.  While carpet comes at a cost of $17.20-$20.00 per square foot for the lifecycle, Retroplate will cost $4.00 to $6.00 per square foot over it's lifecycle which will be much longer than any carpet. Thinking terrazzo? That will cost your client in the neighbourhood of $19.00 a square foot over it's lifecycle. Betting linoleum, porcelain tile, VCT, and acrylic; floors polished with the Retroplate system will bring cost effective life long beauty...something that will keep any client happy and coming back to you for their next build. 

Of course some situations will call for a coating or other solution. Protec Solutions  is available now to guide you and your client to find the perfect solution for your project.
