FLOOR SOLUTIONS
Transforming University Spaces with High-Performance Flooring Montreal, Quebec
PROJECT DETAILS
In a multi-year initiative, over 37,500 square feet of seamless, high-performance flooring was installed at a prestigious university, enhancing critical areas such as wet labs, mechanical rooms, and hallways. This transformation provided a durable, waterproof, and slip-resistant surface with a pharmaceutical-grade finish, addressing the rigorous demands of the university’s research and operational facilities.
The project covered a total flooring area exceeding 37,500 square feet, with mechanical rooms accounting for 6,500 square feet. These critical spaces required a flooring solution that could withstand heavy use, exposure to chemicals, and high foot traffic. Due to the complexity of the project, several challenges arose, including slab repairs, scheduling delays, and COVID-19 restrictions, all of which required careful planning and adaptation.
THE STONHARD SOLUTION
To achieve a tailored and long-lasting solution, the project utilized industry-leading materials such as Stonproof ME7, which provided superior waterproofing and crack bridging, and Stonclad GS, a robust, chemical-resistant flooring system designed for durability in industrial and commercial environments. Additionally, custom colours were incorporated to ensure the flooring not only met functional needs but also enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the spaces.
One of the significant challenges faced was the need for extensive slab repairs to provide a stable foundation for installation. Scheduling delays also had to be managed effectively, requiring close coordination with university operations to minimize disruptions. Furthermore, COVID-19 restrictions added another layer of complexity, necessitating adjustments to scheduling and safety protocols to ensure the project stayed on track.
The successful completion of this project resulted in a flooring system that offers enhanced durability, resistance to chemicals and wear, and a pharmaceutical-grade finish that meets stringent hygiene and quality standards. The university now benefits from a seamless, resilient, and visually appealing flooring system that not only meets current operational demands but is also well-equipped for future needs.
