Industrial Distribution Group discusses flooring

Industrial Distribution Group’s Mark Garmon, discussing his flooring installation.

“We have a 82,000 ft.² distribution center. We built this building 10 years ago. We had a Rustoleum epoxy floor coating. And it was delaminating. We had a housekeeping, safety, and appearance issue with that floor.”

“Then, this facility was hit with a tornado in May.”

“We spent a lot of time investigating different floor systems. We toured facilities around North Carolina and looked at different applications. We thought that polished concrete best fit our environment. From an appearance, and safety, and operational issue”

“The system was finished in October, 2008.”

“Before we had an epoxy sand grout system. The maintenance on that…  we scrubbed it weekly. The problem we had was de-lamination came up. So we had an issue with safety. At that level, you have to shut your operation down, prep of floor. It’s a huge cost.”

“The cost difference between the old maintenance and the new maintenance, I would say that it is somewhere about 75% less cost.”

“We actually had four different competitors come in and do a test patch. We had them each remove epoxy on a 10 x 10 square.  We got to evaluate their process and compared  products.”

“We choose QuestMark over the others. First, I would say the cost. And the finished product. They did great job. And, I think their knowledge of the process. QuestMark did exactly what they outlined in their quote; and it was to the tee.  Good job.”
