Here are some photos of a project we recently completed the flooring on in August of 09 for McShane Construction. We had a great experience working with the McShane field office and the project manager & estimator. McShane did a wonderful job of communicating between the subcontractor and the ownership. As with most large projects many obstacles were presented but we worked seamlessly with McShane to ensure a successful project with beautiful floors that will stand the test of time.
Mori Seiki has built a state of the art office/manufacturing facility in Hoffman Estates. This new facility has a fantastic location clearly visible from Rte 90 traveling in either direction. You can't miss it right near the Sears Center.
Above you will find pictures of the lobby which features a jaw dropping 12x24 porcelain tile in a staggered (brick like) design featuring a custom curve cut into the floor to highlight the entrance into their manufacturing warehouse. The curve is continued through the glass wall which is difficult to see in the picture but it has a really cool effect as if the room just opens into the warehouse without all the noise.
Above you'll also notice pictures of the lobby stairwell which we installed porcelain tile on to match the lobby floor. The top of the stair requires an ADA compliant detectable warning surface which we had custom grooved into the porcelain tile for a clean seamless look. Typically the required tactile warning surface creates a visual eyesore, but this turned out beautifully!
Lastly you'll find pictures of various other areas including an executive suite featuring carpet tiles in an alternating pattern on the floor. You'll also see a picture of the lunchroom area which features a premium vinyl composition tile from Mannington with a custom waterjet cut radius into the floor to visually draw your eye through the space as you enter the room.
As I'm sure you can see above McShane built a gorgeous state of the art facility for Mori Seiki which I'm sure will WOW any of their clientele as they tour the building. I was proud to be a part of this project and am thrilled with the results!
