The EXPRESS Headquarters in Columbus, Ohio required the removal of stone tiles and 1/2-inch thin-set just to expose the bare concrete.  The applicators for the project, Final Touch of Blacklick, Ohio,  ground the concrete surface, exposing large river rock, applied RetroPlate® to the floor and finished the process by polishing the concrete.

With a grand opening already on the calendar, and a floor that needed a great deal of rehab work just to prepare it for the concrete polishing process, Laurie’s Hair & Spa in Ladson, South Carolina put her contractor to the test.

After the floor had been properly repaired and prepared for the concrete polishing process, RetroPlate® was applied to the floor and polished with STI’s FL-07 Series diamond tooling.  Not only were the results a big improvement from what they had started with, but the owner was delivered a “high-end, aesthetically pleasing, durable, and low-maintenance floor,” complete with a mural scored into the floor of “Mother’s Day roses with angel wings embracing the long stems.”

Laurie’s Hair & Spa floors were such a huge hit, their photo was also used as a call for Concrete Polishing Awards entries for 2013 in the March 2013 issue of Concrete Construction Magazine!
