The US Bank in Minneapolis, Minn., selected Western Waterproofing to install a new flooring system to replace existing commercial carpet in its atrium. The carpet covered an area inside the atrium where pedestrian traffic from the parking garage and restaurant carts passed through on a daily basis. Chemicals from the garage and restaurant were repeatedly tracked and spilled on the carpet.

The hallways needed a hard, durable and aesthetically pleasing floor that could sustain the chemical spills from the restaurant and chloride from pedestrian traffic. It also needed to blend and match the new flooring to the adjacent granite pavers inside the atrium. The flooring system was installed during the evening to keep the hallway clear and open during the day.
