Client Need:
When the Honda Corporation decided to renovate and expand Markley Honda in Fort Collins, they turned to Drahota Construction for a design-build collaboration. The design team included STRATAap Architecture of Sonoma, California. To best showcase their cars, the Honda Corporation maintains high standards and construction details for their show room. They knew they wanted a white concrete floor, but were unsure of how to get a showroom caliber, consistent finish between the existing building and the new addition. Markely Honda was renovating 60% of the existing building and expanding. Because of Drahota’s experience with Colorado Hardscapes in the past and Colorado Hardscapes’ experience with polished concrete flooring, they turned to Colorado Hardscapes for guidance.
Solution:
Through a sampling process, it was soon discovered the Bomanite® Modena polished concrete system was the ideal candidate for this high-end floor. To ensure quality and expectations, Colorado Hardscapes performed a full-size mockup in a 14’x20’ room off-site to work out the details and challenges prior to placing the floor at Markley Honda. The finished floor was made up of a white-based Bomanite® Modena floor with accent areas of a black Bomanite® Modena floor and decorative zinc terrazzo strips. The product was then polished to provide the dealership with a low maintenance showroom caliber concrete, worthy of showcasing the newest models Honda has to offer.
Markley Honda now enjoys the high-end finish of their beautiful new floor while enjoying these benefits of a polished concrete floor:
Results:
Low maintenance
Easy to clean – only requires a neutral cleaner
Does not require a sealer or wax
To maintain the luster, all they need to do is burnish the floor 1-2 times a year
