Project Overview
After taking ownership of an old warehouse, the client asked TPS360 to help with surface preparation before deciding on a final finish. The team recommended TPS360 Industrial Polished Concrete.
Refining the substrate gave a hard-wearing, dust-free floor that is one of the most environmentally friendly finishes available, with very low lifecycle costs.
