Verizon Subscribes to the PENETRON Family Plan
For its new and remodeled retail stores, Verizon Wireless looked to PENETRON Specialty Products (PSP) for optimal floor preparation products. The LEVELINE self-leveling underlayment and VB 225 moisture vapor reduction system were applied to the concrete floors to ensure a flawless finish.
Smooth as glass: Floor prep in a day accomplished at numerous Verizon stores was possible with the VB 225 vapor mitigation system and LEVELINE 15 self-leveling underlayment from PSP.
Only 3 hours after installing PENETRON’s VB 225 vapor mitigation system, the floors were treated with LEVELINE 15, a self-leveling underlayment that’s ideal for interior applications like the Verizon stores.
The Verizon Wireless project managers needed to upgrade 10 new and existing retail stores located across the New Jersey-New York region. To ensure the stores maintained an attractive and modern look, they expected perfect results.
The flooring work was carried out in larger Verizon stores, each about 2,500-4,500 square feet in size. Because these locations are popular shopping destinations with consistently high foot traffic loads, the flooring solution called for a very durable and seamless solution. The new concrete floors in all ten stores were initially prepared using VB 225 FS, an extremely fast-setting moisture vapor reduction system used for projects requiring a very fast turnaround.
Finally, a mere three hours after installation of the vapor mitigation system, the floors were leveled with LEVELINE 15, a self-leveling underlayment that works ideally as a wear surface in light duty applications for demanding interior applications like the Verizon stores. The storefront walls are constructed completely of glass, which admits a considerable amount of sunlight; any discrepancy or unevenness in the floors would be immediately apparent.
Ultimately, success was the result of a team effort. Apollo Distributing Company, a PENETRON distributor for New Jersey and New York, worked with Custom Flooring & Interiors, the installer, to come up with a competitive offer that impressed Verizon. The installers then arrived, roughed up the floors with a sander, and the mix & pour took only about 2 ½ hours. The whole job, including the underlayment, was done in a day!
It’s not only formulated for quick installation, but the VB 225 FS vapor mitigation system is also very easy to install in a wide range of industrial, commercial and residential applications. Karndeen vinyl planks were used as the final flooring.
