Situated on the scenic waterfront of Weehawken, The Highwood is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience. With Chef Orlando Clemente at the helm, this dining haven offers a menu that is as diverse as it is delicious.
To match the high culinary standards and the breathtaking views, The Highwood required a floor that could withstand heavy traffic, align with the restaurant’s sophisticated ambiance, and offer easy maintenance. Enter Grip Tech Floor Coatings, tasked with elevating the restaurant’s floors to match its lofty expectations.
The Selection: Why Platform L3 Concrete Leveler?
Choosing Platform L3 Concrete Leveler was a strategic decision. This premium, high-flow, self-leveling underlayment ensured a flat, smooth finish across the 2,500 sq. ft. space, meeting the strict flatness tolerances required for high-end flooring.
Its low surface preparation requirement and ability to accommodate thickness variations made it ideal for The Highwood restaurant needs, allowing for a seamless transition across areas with different usage demands.
Self-Leveling Concrete Process & Execution: A Seamless Floor Transition to Excellence
The Grip Tech team embarked on this project with precision, understanding the restaurant’s need to maintain operations without significant interruptions. The project entailed minimal preparation due to the self-leveling properties of Platform L3, which optimized installations from 1/8″ to over 2″ in isolated areas in a single lift.
The application process highlighted the material’s extended placement time and rapid readiness for foot traffic, essential for a bustling restaurant like The Highwood.
Finishing Touches: Concrete Stain and Seal for Lasting Beauty
After achieving a perfectly level base, the team moved on to staining and sealing the concrete. The choice of stain brought warmth and depth to the floor, enhancing the rustic yet sophisticated decor of The Highwood. The sealant not only protected the stained concrete from spills and wear but also simplified the maintenance routine, a key consideration for any restaurant.
This combination of staining and sealing offered an aesthetically pleasing, durable finish that could withstand the rigors of restaurant foot traffic and furniture movement.
The Outcome: Stained Concrete Floors Worthy of The Highwood’s Menu
The result was a floor that reflects The Highwood’s commitment to quality and innovation. The stained concrete floors now contribute to the restaurant’s rustic sophistication, complementing the scenic views and the culinary delights offered.
Joe Delandro, owner of Grip Tech Floor Coatings, shared his satisfaction with the project: “We are proud to have delivered a flooring solution that not only meets The Highwood’s functional needs but also elevates its overall dining experience. It’s a testament to our team’s dedication and expertise in specialized flooring solutions.”
